Grip tape on my Vanguard

**TLTJosh** · 05-17-2008 09:24 PM

How are you all doing today? Decided to re-do the griptape on my Loaded Vanguard due to my buddy last time really screwed it up!

Anyways I got a new friend, and he had a cool design. I just put it together...

Let me know what you think, it seems like the Sun theme is pretty common around these parts....

If anyone wants specs -

God Bless,

Josh

muy bueno job.
ps. everybody dont start using the chinese sun, its amazing but people could kill it if overused.
its cool now but i dont wanna see too much more of it or else itll be ruined

Yeah I never really looked on here for the grip tape designs of the other boarders. As soon as I saw a lot of other chinese sun... I was thinking "Oh crap..."

But it's cool anyways.

Chinese sun?...
Its the Japanese sun..
Hence "Rising Sun","Land of the Rising Sun". etc..
Its their flag.
So I think you shouldn't use it considering your knowledge of it.
And how would it be ruined..
Its a good easy design.
Good job josh.

Nice job. It looks way better then just plain straight strips across it.

Very nice job.

In my opinion, the rising sun design is already way overdone. tho i must admit that this design is different than some others ive seen and it is a good design. which is probably why so many people use it, that and its way simple and easy to do.

thinkin about grippin my vanguard with two four leafed clovers. one on each side of the Loaded sign where i would normally put my feet.
