Would you ever try rubber grip? 🤔
Nope 👎
are you deaf!? lol, no.
Shit has sucked since 91
never lol name 1 pro who uses it
My heart when he took his time to film the girl for her. Love to see it.
ayyy i’m one playin you in skate
Ayyy! Username adds up 😂👌🏽
@@seanbrownskating yupppp! signature trick
jittalang
dude that tripped me out i saw your progress vid last night then watched this and recognized the park from your vids and then there you were rofl
DKL has gotten a lot better in the last two years, its like night and day. Try a new sheet if you liked that old one.
Might have to give it a go!
I’ve been using rubber grip exclusively for about three years now. The first month was awful but once I got the hang of it, I never looked backed.
Darkslide?
since i first started skating ive only ever used rubber grip tape and i havent had any issues because i learned how to skate with the less grippyness. But when i used another persons board with normal griptape it felt soooo much more grippy like i was overflipping like crazy, and the other person tape was pretty worn in. I think if you get used to rubber griptape it will be fine and worth the pros of like saving your shoes, and having grippy shoes is a good idea, ive only ever used the Last Resort AB VM001's which are one of the more grippy skate shoes out there.
Hi sean its me zeek from the skate park i just wanna let u know that u should never stop what your doing remember i landed the kick flip on your board while with my friends i want to thank u for that keep up what you're doing maybe we could get skate session sometime ty again for letting me use your board
🙏🏽❤️
Just grindin!! Love to see that. I wonder if you could get better stabilization on the camera, though lol
Hey ive been riding DKl griptape for 3 years now, i have found the new version of Dkl griptape (gen 7) is more grippy and will last longer.
QUICK TIP FOR ANYONE WITH THE GRIPTAPE. WHEN SETTING UP, ALWAYS INSET 1/4 INCH THEN FILE DOWN TILL THE GRIPTAPE EDGE IS CLEAR, IF THE GRIPTAPE EDGE IS NOT CLEAR, IT WILL PEAL.
Just wanted to say the same thing.
Been riding DKL since 4 years now.
The newer Versions Gen 7 and 8 are waaaay better than the old ones.
Solid unboxing! Inspired
Bonus points for the Super Mario sound effect. :) 🌟
buying something random just to get free shipping 😂 i feel that
Excellent video Fam
I tried DKL rubber grip tapes for a couple of months. They save your shoes, but get dusty and slippery quite fast. In the end I went back regular grip tape. I skate mostly transition and prefer grippy feeling on my board.
Been skating DKL Griptape for 3 years now. Gen 7 and 8 has little circles and is even better imo. Dunks work really well with it and you can clean the grip with grip gum too
How long do your shoes last
Back in the 90s the first time I saw clear grip tape I put it on my next board. Never went back to it. Just didn’t have the same grip
I just set up a fresh board with this stuff and its hard to tell the difference between regular grip tape, but idk if I'm going to stick with it. I thought it'd be good because I'm just starting back skating and mostly practicing nothing but ollies and kickflips, but shoe goo rebuilds the rubber on my shoe pretty decently. I half assed the application so I'll see if it starts peeling.
Edit: I removed it after a day. I pour sweat. I still have a second sheet if I ever want to try again, but as a beginner I want as much consistency as possible so I can be confident.
You gotta use a metal file to clean up the edges. I'm into a month of skating the newest batch of DKL grip myself, and they are okay in a dry setting. In areas that rain regularly, I don't think it's viable. I have a homie who got me on the dkls, and he puts regular griptape on the outskirts of his deck. Now I know why lol
Why would you be skating in the wet though, that’s a big no no
This is cool
I skated it for about a year. After that year, my grip had worn down and I had to change grip for the first time in my life. My shoes still looked brand new though. Skating felt the same. 😊
Awesome! Curious to see what I’ll think over the long term
Your deck lasted a whole year? DAMN
Bit late but happy 100k 🔥🔥
Personal rubber grip tape hack is to use the free normal grip you get with your board on the main body up to the bolts and use the rubber on your nose and tail.
Hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔
thats something to think about. my tail doesnt wear my shoes down besides the sole, at least for me. i bet if it gets wet in the least its worthless
When it gets wet it does become slippery and that's another reason why I keep the middle with the regular grip but it honestly dries pretty quickly especially if you spread the water around with your shoe@@chrhadden
Rubber griptape would be great to skate with nice sb dunks, might have to give it a try
I kind of want to do a video with some shoes I like haha
sb dunks work really well with it since I noticed some shoes don't grip as much
Back crooks are one of those tricks. I used to be able to do them so perfectly for years yet I lost em so quick. I think its a sports conditioning thing, gotta get back in shape myself
Definitely wanna get them on lock
Goood vidéo. Big up ✨️✨️✨️
Rubber Grip is the future
Let's get this guy to 100k subs
varial heel is soo nutty
Fav trick!
DKL for life now! If you want my perspective on it for the next video lmk, my board is worn down and still set up.
Bet!
I watched for the skateboarding, gave a like for the jjk
Ayyy!
I really wanna try this tape on my street board. I'm still learning so im destroying shoes too fast
Brooo P Rod owes you an apology you prolly paid for his lighting in his park
😭😂
@@seanbrownskating primitive wall looks so good though don't blame you bro
Bro, your apartment reminds me of one of the apartments from Session Skate Sim. 🤣
LMAO!
after i primo more than 3 times its time to stop for a bit its in the air and needs to pass
10:22 😂😂😂
the JJK board is tuff
Preesh!
Yo r u at sac?
Theres a brand in Germany call SYS Grip thats been in the game for a long time with rubber grip and its perforated.
Important to mention that SYS Grip is NOT rubber. It's a kind of plastic like griptape that works really well and saves your shoes at the same time. Best of both worlds for me.
can some body tell me what is the name of the trick that is second in th line i would like to learn it
No-Comply Front Shove. I cover it in this video here: czcams.com/video/m54a1v5U-aE/video.htmlsi=mZ9a0-FglVeSmNfh
where u at apex state park
The rubber grip tape sucks when it's cold. It gets super stiff and doesn't grip. I had to constantly clean the dust off. If the conditions are all good it's not bad and will actually save your shoes. If you wanna save the artwork on your board, then it's time for some rails. It's worth it.
Thanks for the insight! And Ive been thinking about rails 🤔
Where is this? These kids are acting like a CZcams content creator is a major celebrity? Seriously where is this? You all would have skater shock in my neighborhood. Venice/Santa Monica, California. Famous skaters come a dime a dozen now. The guy landing all the tricks is the star in this vid...he's good.
Apex, NC. And lmao idk about all that. Most people just think it’s cool to see me in person if they’ve watched my vids before. They realize I’m just a normal old dude 😂
@@seanbrownskating Awesome. I like how you demoed the rubber tape. I been thinking about trying it myself on a set up. I was just amazed that the people knew you from CZcams Vids. You clearly can skate. And by your style you're not that old. I'm 56 and grew up skating with people like Natas and Mark G. Your generation blows us away. We used to think of Ollie's as tricks, not fundamentals. Recently the company I was getting my boards from SMA stopped production? I like boards with a shape, but not old school. Like round in back, square in front, with nice concave, 8.25. I try to stay current myself and encourage guys my age to give up the old school set ups and try some new tech. Doesn't always make me popular, but I'm an OG here, one of the last left standing. Anyway I decided to go nostalgia recently and went on Powell's site to see what they had. I immediately spotted out this board called the Baby Heron flight deck and knew it was me instantly. I never even heard of Andy Anderson until then. I don't really follow other skaters. Anyway this kid comes up to me at the beach, with the same board, wanting to check my set up out and try it? First I told him no to trying it. I said It was brand new and I wanted to break it in myself first. His friends were laughing. Kid turned out to be Andy, and of course I let him demo my board for me. I've see him around since and despite our start he's cool people. About five years ago I was skating with this little 9 year old girl in the snake run at Venice. She was ripping me up, and pretty soon I was competing with a nine year old girl. I couldn't figure out what was going on...The girl turned out to be Sky Brown the Olympian, obviously before the Olympics. She had no pads and was doing big things. That's what I meant about the celebrity status you received. I get to skate with famous skaters all the time and don't even notice...I have no doubt you are a good person. Maybe we'll meet up one day. I'm planning on an East Coast trip soon. I've never been there. Also I consider myself more of an urban skater. That's street with out the freestyle to me...
I use rubber grip but not this version. the dkl 7th generation works better imo.
This one honestly may be 7th gen. My bro got this for me like 2 years ago I think. Correct me If I’m wrong 😅
the 7th generation has little circles on it, deeper in the rubber , night and day difference I've tried both@@seanbrownskating
@@BPonSk8Board ahhh I wonder if mine is even older
@@seanbrownskatingyours is the old one, not Gen 7 or 8.
@@Macnetism1297 gotcha!
Darkslide?
Rubber gripe tape is the best. if you want to save your shoes
The best rubber griptape I’ve used, is called SysTape. It even feels very similar to standard Jessup griptape.
bro prop has $1000+ worth of decks on his wall💀
LMAO it for sure is! They're at least $70+ a piece and I got 18 total on 2 walls...
sandpaper "almost" lmao
wheres this park at?
Apex, NC
Love Apex park bro
I spawnd at exatly 100.000 k subs
Filer is for metal burrs
If you were trying hard flip in your line, it wasn’t flipping, it’s just a front shuv.
The no-comply front shove? If so, yeah I meant to just do the shove but it unintentionally kept flipping on me 😭
why at 23:12 does his left thumb look like that.
LMAO I didn’t even know why I was bending it like that 😂. It’s called a hitchhiker’s thumb. It’s genetic
YOOOOO THATS CRAZY I DIDNT EXSPECT YOU TO RESPOND I LOVE YOU VIDS GNG
@@seanbrownskating
I never take the whole sheet off before applying
🇹🇭
It peels off, better use fast glue around the edges
Noted 🤔
as a wise man once said... if its not broken dont fix it... if you dont like what you try dont get the supply. these are the lines for any skater who doesnt like the change of their set up after using the tools for over the years. i personally would Never use rubber grip.. it still peels off over time the more you use the board. more rough for streets aswell. when you are trying to take impact and the board isnt sticking to youre feet the way its suppose to.
its just foam griptape for skateboards
rubber grip tape always felt cheap to me
Just add water
"shout out to tupac rip" people that dont listen to tupac.
😂😂 Never claimed to
Right, real rap heads know the OG ain't dead
@@KaitouKaiju bro 😂.. Dude is dead..
Could you try it barefoot?
Idk about trying everything once.. I will not try gay sex 😂

Yup yup!
im so tired of tupac primitive collabs
Don’t buy em lol if he was alive he wouldn’t want you to buy one either 😂
@@savagelifeskateboardingTupac loved capitalism wym..
@@maga_skater4207 I’m not debating white people about Tupac lol bye bra how you even get in this conversation anyway ✌️
@@savagelifeskateboarding like you could form an actual sentence to debate me 😂.. pac loved money and would've sold his soul for it.. in fact he did.. good luck with your racism tho
Yeah, how come this is a collab with Tupac? Did Tupac agree to this or what?
should have used the blade at a 90 degree not a 45 like how u did it and it woulda been way eaqsier
