Since I needed to grip my OFCS board for the review I contacted the uys at Flik griptape and they sent a pool board size sheet. It was easy to cut a design in - I'm old school, and easy to apply. Not to stiff, good thickness and as smooth as grip can be to trim. The grip has great traction, not to harsh and allows for foot shifting when needed. Flik comes in a cool variety of colors and graphics in the standard size as well. Next time you need grip ask for it at your local shop.

OFCS is based in Houston, TX right near the Lee & Joe Jamail skatepark. I first met Jerry the owner while skating and he told me about his company as we talked equipment. He offered to make a custom shape to review and being a local skater owned co I had to take him up on it. The result was top notch! The board rides solid, yet lightweight. The wood and finishing work show excellent crafstmanship and attention to detail. It felt great my first run in the bowl and has good pop though my ollies aren't so good. It just feels right and makes me want to keep skating. Like the sticker says - Homegrown and China free. So next time you need a board support a skater made, finely crafted American board co with a custom shape you design. Contact Jerry at OFCS and he'll set you up right: [email protected] 832-381-8977. |
