9" wide 50-grit ANY LENGTH
On 6/29/2004 Steve in AZ wrote in from (192.175.nnn.nnn)

To Mark C. and anyone else who's looking for longer pieces of GRIPPY med-coarse 9" wide grip, ANY length:

I got me WAY too much of this stuff, so I'll sell off some if there's a market.

Check out BST for the details. I'll take interesting trades, too. Hamm already swapped me for a deck, and he LOVES this stuff.

McMaster online
On 6/29/2004 Duane wrote in from (68.15.nnn.nnn)

at www.mcmaster.com just type "truss head" into the search window and you'll get choices of material, head type, length, etc. They have any reasonable length you may want. Also a good source for the elusive 2.25" and 2.75" long kingpins (grade 8 3/8-24)

Mc Master-Carr machine screws
On 6/28/2004 PSR wrote in from (24.53.nnn.nnn)

Tom,I went to grab my old catalog,but,much to my dismay,can't find it right now! Oh well,Gremlins lurk... Um,what you're looking for is 'Machine Screws' with a 'Truss Head' top.It should be available with a few different drivers,like Phillips, or Allen, or Torx drive,,and the bolt/threading size is U.S. #10/32 Tpi. Don't use U.S. #10/24 Tpi,as the coarser threading can chew up a foam-core deck at the holes. In Metric,the nearest equivalent is 5mm X 1.0 threading,and that is but a few(very few!) thousandths of an inch bigger than the U.S. #10 bolt size. The bigger trick here is to find the length you want,and get those machine screws in Stainless Steel.Screws this small are rarely rated for hardness,and aren't easily found in corrosion resistant metals,unless Brass counts(brass would work,if hardened,but at that size,it isn't,so it's way soft).Oh,and another item you'll want is Urethane Plumbing washers,to fit between the machine screw head and the deck.JG showed me this years ago to keep my hardware from punching through my Turner deck.Look for single ought [0] or 1/4" sized plumbing Flat washers.They'll help with vibraton as well as keep the mounting hardware from denting the top of board.

Roe mounting hardware
On 6/27/2004 tom wrote in from (68.234.nnn.nnn)

So my Roe Hester came with this really nice stainless mounting hardware.
Can I get these same screws from McMaster?
I've got an account at McMaster Carr so if anyone can tell me exactly what page these screws are on and the thread size and name of the head, you'd be saving me some time. They're a philips head but really low, wide and flat.
Thanks in advance.

grip tape
On 6/18/2004 G. Mark wrote in from (199.46.nnn.nnn)

Anyone know where I can get a sheet of gnarly (preferrably Wooster) black grip tape that is 37" long? The "old school" sites sell 33" pieces.

thanks,

tail devil
On 6/17/2004 hc wrote in from (68.121.nnn.nnn)

well, it's a stick-on.
so I guess you can stick on a tailbone.

I am thinking routing out a spot on the tailbone for the tail devil to sit in, so you get a flush surface.

or taking a tailbone and insert flints into drilled holes.

or adding an aerosol kit that would produce a flame torching effect...

Tail Devil...

Can it be attached to a tail bone easily?

I think that might be a cool set up.

What do you think?

rode at stanford today, and I test it out on Jumbo's board.
cool, lots of sparks!

I would like to have it on a real tail guard though.

btw, the tail devil is a stick-on plastic pad about the size of two quarters.

I still have a small pivot Tracker hanger that was drilled and outfitted with lighter flints in 1976. Big fun when 11 years old. Good sparking on curbs and concrete, but doesn't work on metal coping.

Timeship Racing Slide Gloves
On 5/17/2004 ethan wrote in from (192.12.nnn.nnn)

I got my new pair of Timeship Racing gloves on Friday. I've been gloveless for a while (been sliding on those Nalgeen unbreakable water bottles - works OK in a pinch) so I was stoked to have a proper set of gloves again.

I'm really impressed by the construction and materials. Plastic is really good, and the pucks are attached with velcro so you can rotate the plastic when you start to wear it down.

You can also still grab your board cause you have two pieces of plastic on each glove - one for your palm and one for your fingerips. So I can stop making an effort to keep my fingers off the ground and start leveraging the strengh in my fingers instead. Sounds good to me.

Before this I've jsut bought gloves from PurpleSkunk, from various manufacturers. The plastic on these Timeship Racing gloves is better (ie more frictionless) than anything I've bought from the Skunk so far.

Anyway, i know most of you just make your gloves but if you are a lazy bastard like me you should give the timeship gloves a try.

McMaster-Carr 12" grip?
On 5/11/2004 Mile High Mark wrote in from (206.124.nnn.nnn)

McMaster-Carr lists 12" wide adhesive backed, anti-slip tape (click here).

Anyone used/seen this stuff? We've got some decks that are wider than 10", and it'd be nice to be able to grip 'em w/o splicing, etc.

You are missing the difference between a "hair dryer" and a "MASTER HEAT GUN" While they resemble one another..the Master Heat Gun will perform and remove the ahdhesive w/o harming the epoxy!!!! Given a artfull hand!

hairdryer
On 4/29/2004 SJ Ryan wrote in from (12.76.nnn.nnn)

In my experiance using a hair dryer to remove grip tape is that--it sucks! Only Use The Hairdryer To Loosen The Edge Of The Tape!! i figured this out one night as i was taking tape off of an old board, slowly heating it up in sections as i peeled the tape leaveing all the goo, it was getting messy so i decided to not use the hairdryer anymore and just try to pull it off evenly with no heat- what do you know it came off in one big peice with hardly any residue, you could see exacty on the ungripped deck the line where i stopped using heat and the tape came off without leaving residue. im still looking for the magical booger remover (without sanding) but until then-no heat!
