Inspired by a funny 2×4 tech deck/fingerboard that Braille Skateboarding made recently I decided to pull out my actual 2×4 skateboard that I used to ride all the time in the early 2000’s and give it a go on this little quarterpipe at my house.…
Since lots of people like my Grip Tape Art videos I thought I’d make one that’s a bit more technical, and definitely more artsy.
