flex vs. griptape

[head cheese]

does anyone think putting griptape on a new timeline would negatively affect the flex of the board?

it shouldn't affect flex,

griptape does dampen the flex to some extent (ever so marginally) but it is one of those necessary "evils".

thanks for the replies. im just gonna go ahead and slap it on there

cutting a design into the tape especially if the cuts go all the way accoss the width of the deck might make for even less of the damping effect.

i know that on loaded boards a big slab of tape will affect flex, so they reccomend small pieces

The grip didn't mess with the flex for me at all.
