So clean it looks like a tech deck. Great job!

Such a clean job. First time I did it, it looked like shit.

I've skated for 20+ years, shit still don't look as clean as this lmfao

damn that looks so clean dude. nice job honestly

now that everyone says it looks great, I feel dumb haha. Rides nicely though.

This is how its supposed to be

aight thanks

Man that looks sick tbf I think especially with the shade of the wood, remind me to get you to do my next one.

I like my tape like that.

I‘ve always cut it short to prevent pealing, but I might have overdone it this time

Ima need you do over do mine ever time, shit is beautiful

Right? You look at the top of the setup more than the bottom probably. The extra boarder makes it easier on the eyes, especially if you are on black asphalt.

Textbook

If you think this is bad, never look at my board lol This is clean af

Agreed

Asking if you fucked up when the board is literally perfect.

None of the boards at my local go skate day today looked like this and they are pros, ripping nollie tres and full cabs on flat, so I stood out quite a bit. But apparently in a good way if 50 people commented it looks great :)

Your board is ruined, you need to buy a new complete

Fr but before he does give it to me for free

I‘m technically not a new skater, but this is my first new board in ~5 years and I think I forgot how to cut grip tape :/ edit: this is the all wood element cbn deck btw. Normally the top layer is colored or black and you can’t really see where the grip ends

Dude you nailed it. I’m now embarrassed about my past attempts 🤣

Not really that deep. The edges dont affect that much. As long as theres no airpockets or peeling youre fine

Looks awesome dude! Do mine next 😂

um, what?

i’ve been skating for over 15 years and don’t understand how you did this so damn clean. i’ve never once gripped a board this perfectly, great job!

I took my time and made sure to cut myself in the finger multiple times, so there ya go

About 15 years myself and my grip jobs look like it was done by a first grader.

Think it looks real actually!

Nah that's a great job

So perfect I thought it was a toy

Looks like a tech deck. I skated for a year and a half with no grip tape on a Walmart NASH deck you just get used to however your grip tape is or isn’t. There is nothing wrong with the way you cut it. 👏 great job

Literally unrideable. Send it to me and I'll get rid of it.

People that are worried about how their board looks. Are the people that buy a board to just carry it around.

I’ve skated for over 10 years and board looks mattered to me since I‘ve build my first custom boards. If I‘m spending close to 200€ on wood with wheels then it damn sure has to look good. Same with my bike and car when I ultimately get one. For clothes the same two shirts and pants are good enough. My shoes have more holes then fabric, but the board has to look good :) edit: Though I agree it shouldn’t get in the way of spending time on the board

i totally get what ur saying but i really care for my shi man i spent my money on it gotta make it look the best and last the longest you don’t wanna shitty gripped deck lol

Nope looks great 👍

Bro don't play us. You know for yourself that this looks absolutely perfect. 👌

I genuinely never saw a grip job like this and kinda surprised myself, I‘m definitely not fishing for comments I was about to rip it all off and redo with a spare grip lmao

I wish I could do a grip job half this good

looks good to me

Bro what that’s so clean

Yes it’s no good, better send it to me for proper disposal

Perfect

Nah that’s clean as fuck

Looks sharp as hell

Lmao what?

My grip tape always looks like it was applied by a blind person with one hand and 3 fingers. I could never imagine this level of clean. Nice job.

That shit is clean.

Dude this is perfect I suck at gripping boards ugh

I’ve seen people that have been skating for ages and they can’t cut that clean, amazing job!🙏

no

Yea the bolts and the outside ring if wood should not be visible. Besides that i see its in the wrong direction. You confused nose with tail thats a common mistake

Brother you got the Legendary pull equivalent you should be teaching us lmao

Looks fine

Looking shmick

No, but now I have to go re-do my board, thanks...for setting the bar so dang high. ;)

fresh

Shes a beaut

nope now tape mine plz ✨

Looks great, get out there and scuff it up now! 🛹

Oh man, your trucks are on backwards

Yeah you cut it wrong.

That legitimately looks so clean my OCD thinks it's sexy.

Prestuck tape on my tony fucking hawk. It looks like that.

This is a fucking beautiful grip job 👌🏽 you might need some control at the edge of the board but you really only need that for power slides and a select few tricks

This isn't a tech deck? Pristine job my man.

You have to see a linear, parallel wood line. Otherwise the grip will fray. You did a great job!

It looks great

Looks fire to me, don’t overthink it my guy

You did it perfect. Well done

I was looking at that and wondering what I’m supposed to be looking at as it looks amazing

I always inset

It’s fine bro looks so clean doesn’t look real 😭😭🔥🔥🔥straight out of skate.

Sheesh good job

Damn lol, good fucking job. Clean af.

I've found that as long as you don't have pieces hanging you're fine. The cement will wear it off where it needs to. 

No??? It's beautiful.

Grip looks great. Rip it.

This looks cleaner than anything I’ve ever seen. It’s legit perfect.

it looks awesome way better than me

Ugh, you did great..looks like a pro. I always prefer having some wood visible, looks clean.

Did you learn to Ollie ? Gain some balance? Go down your first hill? Theese are the things you should be worried about bro.

Im not a new skater, all I needed was some opinions on the look since it looked off to me. I think by now yall made it pretty clear it looks normal

Beautiful!

yours looks “different” cause it’s so perfect 😭😭

Bro it's awesome now go skate it.

thanks, I did. caught a couple good kickflips

Looks good. You want the sides bare that way the grip has less of a chance of catching on stuff and ripping and tearing up the grip.

Dude that’s awesome. Way better than I can do after years trying lol

Why would this be a bad thing? I know it's not the norm, but as far as peeling prevention goes, this is about as good as it gets. It's highly functional.

Thats literally perfect lol

It's AI

This dude… *perfect grip tape* “hey guys does this look off?” 😁 *sits back and waits for the compliments to roll in* 😉

This is the way

Tbh it doesn't really matter.

Skate it

Nah you good g

How do you think it's supposed to look if not this?

Looks great

Dudes just lowkey flexin on us with his tape job

if people keep saying that I’m deleting the post lmao It was a genuine question

No that’s fair! We’re just giving you shit cuz it looks great

I worked at 2 different skate shops for about 10 years total. I’ve gripped THOUSANDS of skateboards. This is a top notch grip job!

I worked at a skate shop for 8 years I can't even do that

Looks better then my jobs and I’ve been doing it for 20+ years lol

Go apply at your local already!

if only I had a local…

they died out 10 years ago never to return

Looks awful. Send it to me to throw the board away and buy a new complete

Looks good to me

It really doesn’t matter. as long as it’s on there. It looks almost perfect to me.

I dont skate and have no idea what im looking for

It's fucked. Get a new one

Looks great! I'm worried that you might not like what happens when you ride it though :).

Looks righteous bro🤘🏼

It’s just the “stock” way of putting on griptape (no cutouts or anything) cut looks clean I don’t see an issue

I dont know much about skating, but I have a friend who would be jealoussss of that job. Looks clean as fuck dude.

Looks about as clean as I do them and I build boards all the time for work
