Re-Gripped Vanguard

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 06-07-2007 11:47 AM

Yes I took that one guy's idea. I regripped it so I can ride it in the bowls.

But check it out. I'm pretty proud of myself.

If anybody wants these extra stars let me know.

That's wicked man. I like the little crowns at either end. If that were my board, I would get a bunch of different colors of grip tape and cut them into polka dots or stars. Bring some color onto the board!

that is pretty sick, mine is getting to the point where it will need a new grip job, maybe i will do something close to that.

**ragefan** · 06-07-2007 12:51 PM

looks pretty sweet good job

**hyzershot** · 06-07-2007 12:53 PM

Great job!

off topic I know but..... how do you like the way the grippins preform on the vanguard?
I've been considering a set for mine, BigZigZags are on the way so I'll have to wait and see how I'm going to like them first before I'll pick up a set of grippins but I just figured I'd ask anyway for future reference.

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 06-07-2007 01:10 PM

I love them. Haven't slid out on them once.

**ZampraZ** · 06-07-2007 01:43 PM

lookin good, how did you cut them out? scissors?

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 06-07-2007 01:51 PM

Yeah.

copy cat

how do indy's ride on the vanguard compared to randal 2's?

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 06-07-2007 02:43 PM

They feel lower. I like em a lot.

**ZampraZ** · 06-07-2007 02:56 PM

I was thinking of doing a egyptian style kind of grip on my board, i dunno how though :P

**Zagger1586** · 06-07-2007 04:21 PM

try out the 66mm strikers in the park. I really like they perform in the bowls

**Benito** · 06-07-2007 04:28 PM

dank grip. colored stars would have been even better.

**Couplescaddy** · 06-07-2007 04:37 PM

Yeah I know. That's where I got my idea from... I'm not afraid to admit that it isn't an original idea.

Thanks for the tip. I went today. Soooooo sick. But it's a little hard to pump and maintain speed. I'll get used to it though.

Edit: also it's pretty damn hard to drop in. I tried it the way you do it (if it isn't you it's the other guy that can skate pools with a Vanguard) and I fell pretty hard. I just go to the roll-in.

**Shimotakimas** · 06-07-2007 08:47 PM

If someone copied my style I would take it as a compliment. ESPECIALLY if my style was unique cause that makes you a pioneer. Great grip job. I really like it with the abundant stars and the crowns.

**strtsk8er1080** · 06-07-2007 09:10 PM

did you put that right over the existing grip or did you sand away the old one
my vanguard will soon be in need of some new grip and im thinking of doing something weird

**pirateswin** · 06-07-2007 10:48 PM

Yeah, stars and griptape are one way to do it. But! It's also really easy to redo the clear grip (even make it grippier) by yourself!

Check out my vanguard after I sanded it and regripped it with polyurethane and tread-tex:
