Was thinking of you for this video! I know you mentioned grip art previously, I love that idea with your dog!! I had to include one for sure.

custom grip really adds that extra pop in skate clips, thanks for the tutorial love your content man

As someone who’s already been a skater for a while and knew how to do this, I still really enjoy watching your videos regardless of if it’s teaching something I already know! Keep it up man, you deserve a bigger audience!

@ZackDowdy 3 года назад

Ayy I appreciate that Travis!

@notprochris 3 года назад

Collage looks fantastic. I do recommend when laying the pics on there to use a very light layer of a spray adhesive if the pics run all the way to the edge. That way it doesn't tear off from some crazy skate shit.

@ZackDowdy 3 года назад

Solid advice thank you

@lo0ser555 3 года назад

started doing grip art a while back. used to just do vert stripes cause most boards i ride had top graphics. but when i went to japan and skated with some guys that did griptape art i was like damn. just looks so much more fun to skate those. since then i did 5 boards. gripping boards is now such a nice and relaxing activity. just take your time and see it all come together.

@ZackDowdy 3 года назад

I can relate for sure.

@shortshaun 3 года назад

I definitely need to explore grip tape art. Really liking the idea of a magazine cut out under the transparent grip - out of interest with your collage you used tape on the corners, was that to hold it in place or for aesthetic? Could you not PVA glue it in place, then once it dries, grip over top?

@Bigg_Oll 3 года назад

@ianrestores 3 года назад

Do you lose some grip on the parts where it’s spray painted?

@ZackDowdy 3 года назад

I try to do a super light coat, that way it's just a thin layer on top. If you do it too thick, it'll make your "grit" less deep, and you'll loose grip for sure.

@adda89 3 года назад

if you're careful to not overdo it, I did some red stripes on a sheet of grip once and the red was too much unfortunately.

@devon2570 3 года назад

Does spray painting the top of the deck effect the grip

@notprochris 3 года назад

Got a huge pic stenciled and sprayed on my deck and I haven't noticed any difference.

@ZackDowdy 3 года назад

Just don't spray a thick layer, nice and thin so the grit stays sharp.

Sadly nowadays it is the self-entitled "anti-fascists" engaging in fascism and the place where you are defined entirely by your intersectional identity group and can be clasified as good or evil by your race, your gender, your culture, and your social class
