Grip Tape on Penny again.

I regripped my Penny again just because I wanted to do something cool to post with the #pennygrip hashtag on instagram.  By the way, I am holdsfast on there If anyone wants to follow me or @holdsfast me to show me some cool pics.
So I made some stencils, and a little spray paint later, here it is.  I like it.

Penny Grip Tape

The other day I picked up a piece of the Penny grip tape that I have seen around lately.

It was a little pricy at the local shop, but looking around its not very expensive online.

Penny has a cool idea, marking the bottom in a diamond pattern so you can cut out shapes that will match the diamond pattern of the deck

I finally got around to putting it on today.

Before anything else, I had to stencil and spray paint my dogs logo on it for good measure.

The old grip came off easy.  Usually I will leave the deck in the sun for a little while to soften up the grip to make it easier to peel off.  That wasn't necessary on the Penny, I guess because there is just less surface area for it to stick to.  I had Jessup on the deck previously, and it did leave a little stick residue behind, no big deal its getting covered right away again.

The pre-cut holes didn't match up perfectly, but for the ease of not having to take the trucks off to apply grip tape, I can live with that.  I will update after a few weeks of riding when I have a feel for how well it grips and holds up.
