i know this is probably a stupid question, but you can actually carve patterns into the grip tape? does it just scrape off or something? side note to bensk8ing - i was interested in your skate, but was hesitant because i wasn't sure i wanted a wood skate or one with no channels. a friend sold me his old CWB for almost no $$. wood, no channels (exactly what i wasn't really looking for), but i rode it today finless and had a blast. even made it heelside over the wake (no air, but hey - it's only my 2nd time on a sk8). when i'm ready to buy a PERMANENT board next season, i might hit ya up and see if you have any for sale! THANKS FOR LETTING ME HI-JACK (and sorry!)

The Tige emblem, for instance, I stuck a die cut on a piece of binder paper, I flipped over the grip tape, traced it out hard to imprint the backing paper, traced that, and cut it out.

I rode this guy yesterday for the first time on a sacked out X*. It was different, I loved it for the shuv variations, wake to wake was alittle tough, the board was always stuck to my feet, but with the narrower tip and tail and a size 13 foot, I was alittle squirly. It popped great. I think im really going to like it more on a mellower wake, something without 2K+ in weight for the first time. I was on the new Reed for the past month and it was a big change from that.
Integrity is sick, I just need to get some more riding in on it than a 20 minute set after work. I can wait to hit some rails on it. If I did not have this skate I would stick to wood, but this skate is different from everything Ive been on.
