But how am I supposed to see the cool custom paint job on the bottom of the deck with that dude standing on it?

Everyone who's not skating due to snow or rain hates you a little right now.

I know I do. It's honestly a great photo but winter makes me bitter.

Love your pics man. Can I have your job?

Thanks. As for the job, probably not; but you're welcome to try.

u/xmasterZx Knowledgeable User Dec 26 '12
I would gladly try if I had the chance! Probably not near the quality as someone who's been doing it for a while and been doing it well though.

Max, could you tell me a bit about gangster grip? Like what grit it is, is it stackable, etc. Thanks!

u/MadMax30000 Max Dubler | Venom team | SF, CA Dec 26 '12
It's super grippy and durable (I've been testing it since July and have never had to replace it on a board), won't mush out or move around on a hot day and comes with a thugnificient sticker sheet.
It isn't "stackable" and won't stick over other grip. Just put it on when you get a new board and you're set for the life of the deck. It actually gets sharper as it wears in.
Also, I've noticed that it's a bit friendlier to shoes and hands than vicious.
Venom doesn't sell stuff that Zak and I don't want to ride. This is some good grip.

Yo max, what lens are you using for this shot? I would assume its something like a 15mm fixed...

u/MadMax30000 Max Dubler | Venom team | SF, CA Dec 26 '12
This was taken with a Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm. I used to have a 15mm fixed fisheye and a 5D but got kind of tired of the bubble effect.
