Flik Griptape

 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.

Dan over at Mentality sent us some of his cool Thin Dot Home button Stickers for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to check out.  

We stuck them to an open phone and also one with a rubber cover and they look nice.  They work well too.  It says they can be repositioned and leave no residue, so we did just that.  They work great.  Nice, great looking, simple, fun product to liven up and add some skate style to your iPhone, Ipad or iPod touch.

Tricky Wrench

We decided the best way to test this was to set up a new deck.  Our friends at American Nomad sent us a killer Monty Nolder board.  We found this tool to be very compact and surprisingly functional.  The tool pulls apart and you use cylinder for the mounting nuts while holding with the screwdriver end - it's always easier to tighten a nut than the bolt head end and this had plenty of leverage.  It made it easy to pull the new bolt down into the fresh wood.   
Next we tried the axle nuts and the placement of the socket below the truck wrench allowed plenty of torque.  
All together a convenient and solid tool for any skater.
