Starting Skateboarding At 29

Figured he assembled it with help from YouTube but the shop gripped it.

Enuff grip tape came free with the board but Black Sheep had an offer when you can get MOB free grip tape fitted or loose so I chose fitted. So that’s why the Enuff grip tape was in the picture :upside_down_face:

Poor show Black Sheep. Always thought they seemed really expensive.

My local wouldn’t let that out the door. Oof.

Good call. A file and a run down of a bit of the Enuff grip tape has made the edges a bit better now.

Oh shit yeah, that grip job shouldn’t have left the shop. Have a word ha.
I thought Black Sheep was always a decent shop to be honest.

This is after filing and sending. Is it so bad I should say something to them and maybe get replacement MOB grip tape? Or is it a non issue

Its nothing, land on the board upside down once and its going do worse than that anyway.
Wont make the slightest difference performance wise

Yeah, it won’t matter, but part of the fun of a new board is looking down at it all perfect.

Yeah totally but it that would annoy my brain. As someone who lands bolts every time griptape scuff is something that just does not happen. :lying_face:

Route One probably would have gripped it properly…

Don’t worry about the grip, it’s nothing, just aesthetics.

Seconded. Don’t worry about it.

I won a deck in a PlayStation magazine comp once which didn’t come with grip but set it up and skated it anyway. Saved a fortune on shoes.
