so its been a couple years now and my tape on my cassete is peeling up.. i know u prolly just go to a skate shop and get a sheet of grip tape but anybody do this yet? how many sheets? any good ways of putting it on, ive heard of putting an extra resin adhesive on their so it would stay on longer... oh ive got the concave 41

wow i really like the white on it... i have pretty much the same deck
instead of repainting mine i just made a design in the middle of the deck.. and stained it so it looks pimperish! Cool

I dont think you can do a 90 bs shuvit to bs board.. maybe a 90 fs shuvit to bs board. or a 90 bs shuvit to bs lip.. i think thats what your talking about is a 90 bs shuvit to bs lip. anyways, its all about body position and feet position. keep your body centered over the board and dont land with your feet to close together.

vance, how did you get your grip tape off, did you just use a blow dryer or put it out in the sun?

We used a heat gun and replaced the grip tape with Gator Grip.
