| liquidforce519, depends on if you keep your feet in the same place all the time...Also, its alot cheaper to replace, and fun, cuz you can make different designes with the grip, were as you call hyperlite(or whoever) and pay $60+shipping, for another foam pad... |

I like riding barefoot so I do like foam. But I love the feel of tape cause it brings all the skills and style from skating into play

Grip, Who cares if it wears out faster, you could replace your grip tape 3+ times depending what kind of tape you get , and it would still be less than foam.
