Grip tape

[bcboy_18]

covering skis with grip tape- thoughts?

 

[mattyb.]

[imotion]

for grabs?

its just so not needed

 

[617jibber]

there is a snowboard with denim on the top sheet, looks sick

 

[bcboy_18]

no not for anything in particular. painting sksi seems like a waste oftime so it was just an idea

I think it'd be horrible on your edges if your skis ever hit each other. But if you idolize Tanner Hall you won't have to deal with that problem.

put it where u grab (mutes, tails, nose, etc)

 

[xnick11]

dont do it..all it is going to do is make snow stick to it.

 

[Tinga]

yeah snow will stick to it and if you ever rub your skis together like doing an ironcross or snythign youll scrath the bottoms up

sounds genious

Not to mention, IIRC, griptape isn't supposed to get wet...

 

[DirtyMick]

put rino lining on your topsheets...that would be SICK.

 

[Skipig25]

and have the little official rhino lining rhino stamped into it. Now those would be some bombproof skis.

Next years head madtrix:

P-tex base

vertical sidewalls

rhino lining top sheet...

the griptape on my wakeskates does just fine in the water. regardless, you are a tool if you put griptape on skis.

i'm surprised no one mentioned the old dynastar candide promodels.

grant

i used stencil onto grip take (or trace a sticker) then cut it out, so i had grip tape stickers that i would put in my key grab points. it was dope.

 

[Ostrix]

That made me think of the paint that turns into chalkboard material, you could re-design your topsheets whenever you wanted! ahahaha

 

[jonsimpson]

Karmas have a topsheet thats kinda like griptape, i say try it

 

[Grimace.]

um

no not at all

 

[jonsimpson]

I said kinda, and how are they not kinda like griptape?

 

[seward]

^^ im pretty sure your thinking of the old dynastar candides?

 

[Grimace.]

well grip tape is basicly sand paper that is stick on one side

last time i cheked the skis dont have that

 

[jonsimpson]

I know what griptape is, i just said it because karmas have a rough surface on the top that feels a bit like worn out griptape, i didnt actually mean the topsheet was stuck on

 

[twix_182]

they should make a skis with a top graphic that just shows hand positions for different grabs, then, on your ride up the lift, u can imagine all the combinations of double grabs you can do

 

[hans_aschim]

that idea sucks. but what idea doesn't suck you ask? leather top sheets. it would come in black, brown, or white.

I actually made a thread about this before last season, I did it to my MadTrix. Its actually kind of difficult to get the grip on and have it be smooth and even, but I didn't notice any problems with rubbing or scratching from the griptape. I eventually took off the grip tape after about 2 weeks just cause it didn't look right cause I was sloppy when I layed it down on the skis.

 

[Grimace.]

they really dont resemble worn out grip tape
