Skateboard Grip Tape Design

Final Product Layout for idea The peel had been bothering me So my griptape has been peeling since I got the board. It's not even a month old, it was drooping like this out of the box. At first it was just kind of annoying then while pumping it got worse and my grip was getting compromised. Not a Pantheon issue, probably just a bad glue batch or something. I had some spare Mob Grip laying around from my freestyle skateboard and came up with this simple design. I will say aside from the grip issue the SDS has been fantastic 0 complaints. submitted by /u/Evesgallion to r/longboarding [link] [comments]

​To the Development Team, ​I am writing to provide constructive feedback regarding the content released for Season 2, following the announced 1980s theme . ​We were excited by the prospect of an 80s theme, and many players were anticipating a comprehensive integration of this era beyond just character fashion. While the current content is appreciated, the community feels that the extent of 80s-themed items across the game's core elements is currently underutilized and could be significantly expanded. ​Key Areas for Content Expansion: ​My primary request is for a deeper integration of 80s aesthetics into skateboarding gear and accessories. Specifically, I propose adding elements that truly capture the period's distinct style but not limited to only the season for future players. ​Skate Decks & Components: Introduce more Old School board shapes from the 1980s, including recognizable, influential designs (e.g., shapes reminiscent of popular brands like Nash). ​Unique Under-Board Accessories: Include nostalgic functional and decorative items such as: ​Tail Ribs/Rails: The plastic strips placed beneath the deck for slide protection. ​Nose/Tail Guards: Plastic components used for protection during slides or for braking. ​Brake Sparks/Spark Pads: (A highly desired element) Functional or visual accessories that generate sparks when used (if technically feasible, this would be a major feature). ​Apparel and Minor Gear: Expand the range of themed items to include more period-specific wheels, grip tapes, shoes, and general accessories. ​Community Inspiration: ​This vision is shared within the community. I recently observed a TikTok content creator demonstrating the game's potential by making excellent 80s-vibe reels using the current limited content. https://www.tiktok.com/@skate80_s?_r=1&_t=ZP-92BvrsAHKFK I believe implementing these expanded elements would significantly boost community engagement, user-generated content, and the overall longevity of Season 2's theme. ​I remain incredibly enthusiastic about the direction of the game, and this topic is so inspiring that it has even encouraged me to the possibility of actively pursue a future career opportunities within EA to contribute directly to realizing this kind of content. ​Thank you for considering this proposal. We look forward to seeing the continued evolution of the game and thank you so much for listening to your community. submitted by /u/I-Iarkadenn to r/SkateEA [link] [comments]

I am looking to get some new grip tape and like the aesthetic of colored grip tape but wanted to know if the colored grip tape is a different material and if it feels/performs any different. submitted by /u/UnlikelyTurn1046 to r/ElectricScooters [link] [comments]

We’ve got some details to share to get you ready for Early Access — remember, coming at the end of this Summer (Northern Hemisphere) — as well as some Playtest details and some questions submitted by you, the skate. community. This volume of The Grind is gonna touch on customization, music and sounds in San Vansterdam, and we’re going to share a bit about our Seasons (starting shortly after Early Access drops) and the skate.Pass. At the end of July, we invited over 1 MILLION skate. Insiders to join us in San Vansterdam, and it’s been wild. We’ve got up to 150 folks in each server, throwing down, completing Challenges, having fun. With Early Access coming soon, it’s going to be insane! https://preview.redd.it/kmdf594wn7jf1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06d611a9603dc937120a3e910bfff5a85b4cd808 I’m seeing videos - when can I record/share/stream? Reminder: the Council and some creators were given special access with a watermarkless build, but the NDA is still in effect for all Playtesters. We know you’re excited — we’re excited to see your content. We’ll be lifting the NDA before Early Access, so keep your eyes peeled for that NDA-lift announcement coming near the end of the month. Customization The Skate Shop offers (optional) premium cosmetics for purchase using San Van Bucks (or “SVB”) to customize your character beyond the free rewards you'll receive. You will see exactly what you are getting when you use SVB in the Shop. As we’ve mentioned in previous volumes of The Grind, there's a lot to unlock by simply playing the game and earning rewards -- we'll talk a bit more about that below. When you first load into skate., you’ll need to create your skater. First, you set up your appearance. Choose your build, height, body shape and size, and more to customize your look, then hit that right bumper to choose Locomotion (how you move off-board through San Vansterdam). Next up is your face shape — and there’s a lot of options. After that, pick your hair style, color, and shade, then slide over to your eyebrows to make your selection. Eyes, nose, and mouth are next, and you can choose facial hair and color if you want. Select your skater’s voice, and you’re done. Now it’s time to get dressed. Apparel, Accessories, and Boards are where you set your style. Starting off, you’ll have just a few options, like the “I ♥️SV” shirt, some basic pants and shoes, and basic deck setups (design, griptape, trucks, wheels). That’s where those Challenges and Missions come in. Complete Challenges to earn Rip Chips (only earnable through gameplay) and then hit the Shop to turn those Rip Chips into gear. Open a box of gear with your free Rip Chips to get great cosmetic rewards and also up your Rip Score, which will unlock even more items. With each tier of the Rip Score AND each tier of your Neighborhood score, you get more items to customize your skater with (hats, helmets, shoes, socks, shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, decks, trucks, stickers for the decks, grip tape and grip tape designs, and more). https://preview.redd.it/kbcdioj2o7jf1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52ae73e7a0076214ae8a9aafa2a22b7df25b71de But wait! You’re not done! Quick gestures are customizable, so check out the Gestures option to select which of the four Quick Gestures you wanna have locked and loaded. DID YOU KNOW: You can do Gestures while pulling tricks in skate. - like this one. (You can even Gesture when you’re flying through the air. Warning: The flapping wings gesture does NOT make you fly better.) https://preview.redd.it/cgcqary4o7jf1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf625d795151a6c97a6fd9bb2e97fce1723ebe68 Music in San Vansterdam As mentioned in The Grind: Vol 4, we’re taking some time to discuss music in San Vansterdam. First, the soundtrack is big — like, 100 songs big. The team focused on emerging artists and threw in some deep cuts to help you discover music you may not have heard yet. https://preview.redd.it/swm4x1b7o7jf1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=727f9aca6293bb797fdabc154c079404a46f614f You can browse the soundtrack by pressing down on the D-Pad and then highlighting the headphones icon.From there, you can choose the Playlists you want to jam out to when cruisin’ the streets of San Van. You’ll see the main soundtrack in the Featured section - split into three playlists - DO A KICKFLIP!, SV Local Classics, and Down Low Radio. See that one titled San Van Jams? That’s the skate. community favorites - based on the songs most liked by all players across all platforms. https://preview.redd.it/r2sqjig9o7jf1.png?width=3834&format=png&auto=webp&s=c18d477cd919781b1e69ddc9341805b72acf682d You can favorite whole playlists or individual tracks to make your own favorite playlist, and you’ll see them appear in the Liked section. You can use the left and right triggers to adjust the volume, if you want it blasting or if you need it to be a little subtle. When in the world, you can mute the speakers by pressing down on the D-Pad (to open the Quick Access wheel) and pressing Y (or Triangle). And you can discover music just by skating around San Van - you’ll hear it blaring out of speakers in skate spots, teasing you from the top of buildings, and even from passing cars. Just run up and use Grabster when prompted (hold down on the L stick) to collect it! It will show up under the Newly Discovered category in Grabster. https://preview.redd.it/7sbpkjvbo7jf1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d642190804d9cc8d02a7d89bf9b945637e0807b And if you’re liking the soundtrack, stay tuned! The team will be adding lots of new tracks every season - and making sure the ones you listen to and favourite the most stay in the game for longer! Now, we know music is a part of skateboarding culture - and not one specific genre or style, but all types of music (just like there’s all types of skaters and all types of gamers). Our music team is currently curating the skate. Soundtrack (coming soon to Spotify), but we wanted to drop a sample of some of the artists right now to get you vibin’ and ready for Early Access. Some Artists from the skate. Soundtrack Turnstile Denzel Curry Little Simz Skegss Earth, Wind & Fire MF Doom Just a little taste, a tease of some artists on the soundtrack, and there’s a LOT more. The soundtrack for Early Access will have around 100 tracks, and we’re just getting started. We’ll share the Spotify link soon, so stay tuned to our official social and community channels. Seasons and the skate.Pass We’ve mentioned seasons a few times in The Grind. You’re probably wondering, “How will skate. do seasons? How long will they last? When do seasons start? Is there a skate.Pass?” Quick answers (full details coming in The Grind: Vol 6 next month): Yes, skate. will have seasons and seasonal content. The world, game features, in-game events, and even the soundtracks will be updated to celebrate each season. On average, the season will last about 3 months (so we’ll have 4 per year, like a real calendar!). Our first season will start shortly after the Early Access launch, and more information will be available next month in Vol 6 of The Grind. With each season, we'll be adding new cosmetics and customization items, more music, and more to do. We will have a skate.Pass - with a paid and free track with various rewards, Seasonal Challenges, and activities to keep you on your board. Stay tuned - we’ll have all the details about our skate. Seasons and the skate.Pass next month, so get ready! What’s happening with the skate. Insider Playtest? As of June 27, we closed sign-ups for the skate. Insider program. From the time we opened up sign-ups in 2022 to June 27, 2025, over 1 MILLION future San Vansterdam citizens signed up. And we spent all of July getting invites out to everyone who did sign up. Signed up but didn’t get an email? Are you sure you checked the right email? Quick reminder: Our official Discord is not the spot to share feedback, bugs, and issues - but we DO want you to share them with us. If you’re a playtester, head to the Playtest forums and let us know what’s going on. The feedback we’ve received already helped us get to 0.27 and 0.27.5 (coming soon!), so keep it up! Thanks for coming with us on the road to Early Access - we’re getting closer every day. Let’s dive into your questions. Keep them coming! Your Q’s, our A’s. What can you tell us about the future of the game's visuals? It’s important to remember that Early Access is just the beginning. Everything from the gameplay to core features to visuals will continue evolving and improving during Early Access and beyond. This is a new game, a new world, and we’re excited about where it’s headed. We think this is the best skateboarding experience we have ever created. Will the visuals change over time? Absolutely. You'll see the characters and world evolve to include even more detail and personality through our future updates. Thanks for your continued support. While we can’t respond to every piece of feedback, rest assured that we are listening. Is early access free? And if so, does everybody get it or is there a way to ensure I get in? Early Access is absolutely free-to-play. Everyone who wants to jump into San Vansterdam when Early Access launches is welcome! Was wondering if it would be possible to implement a type of party finding system for co-op missions? Playing together in the open-world of San Vansterdam is so much fun, from Throwdowns to Co-op Challenges. As we continue to improve and develop skate. through Early Access, we’ll look into more ways to improve the social experience and co-op/group play. Will server sizes increase even more? It would be crazy to have like 500 people on one server. It would be crazy - not sure if it’s the crazy we want to ensure stability. That being said, with Early Access, we’re just getting started and crazy ideas may make sense down the road. Currently, our sweet spot is up to 150 skaters per server, but that could change in the future. Will any extra skaters be available to play as like in previous games? Any pros? skate. is all about you and what you're doing in San Vansterdam. That being said, it doesn't mean we won't see the occasional new visitors in San Van sometime in the future. Will we be able to re-enter the tutorial area and explore it freely? It’s so cool; I would like to go back like in Skate 3 going back to Skate School. “I’m going going, back back, to the Isle of Grom” is definitely a jam, and we will be opening the Isle up at some point during Early Access so you can refresh the basics or get crazy, Isle-style. Are there going to be any collab's with show's, movies, etc.? Through skate.’s live service, we want to bring a lot of events and experiences through the Seasons, so we’ll share more as we get closer to the seasonal drops whenever we might incorporate these elements. Are you looking into custom/player-created gear or designs? We don't have something to share today, but this is definitely something the team is very excited about. When we have something concrete to share, like a timeline, we'll make sure to let you know. Don’t forget to drop your questions in the Q&A channel in The Grind category of Discord, and we’ll pull some to answer for our next volume of The Grind.

Going for a black and blue setup. Deck is 8.5 Zero Burleigh Flash Series, Stage 11 Vertigo Forged Hollow Independent 149s, Spitfire Formula Four Radials 54mm, Thunder Blue 7/8 hardware and mob grip tape. I ordered two different designs. One is ‘Blown Ink’ Mob graphic, the other Mob x Zero Jamie Thomas Cross Cutout. I love both so much but was leaning towards the dog graphic because it matches the skateboard art. The cutout is cool too because I was lucky enough to get a blue top color to match. A blue cross against the black grip would look so slick and clean. Also the black isn’t as deep on the Mob graphic for what it’s worth. Just wanted to share my setup and get feedback on which grip tape you would choose? P. S. Great community and I love seeing all the different setups. Keep up the good work! submitted by /u/DBLUE711 to r/SkateboardSetups [link] [comments]
