bring answers!!

ok, just a few questions of mine that need answering:

1) What are positives and negatives of wider bars?

2) Is it true colored grip tape is weaker than black grip?

3) Are Yaks ok for flatground and street?

4) How was your day?

5) what does it mean when you case?

1. easier to scooter flip/bri. negative= look gaudy to me.

2. not in my opinion

3 new yaks are not so great. get low pros. or pro model stock wheels.

4 girlfriend broke up with me =-(

1. + better control, feel more comfortable if you have wider shoulders, turndowns/lookbacks feel better, basically they are more comfortable and i think they can help style a bit too. also make bris more controlled and i think improve whip speed
- heavier, slower bris, harder barspins

2. i think so, i havent seen any decent colored griptape.

3. they are good for flatground and park. they arent great for street because from what ive heard cant really take big hits. if you are smaller and ride smaller street like small sets and banks and grind small things they will be fine. hot glue the cores and they should be decent. although unless you somehow have old ones, you wont really need to worry about it. unless your talking about low pros. id say just hot glue low pros and theyll bne good.

4. good, thanks for asking

1) + comfort, bris easier, more control
- harder barspins, look ugly

2) Probably.

3) Stock pro wheels or lowpros are better. Hot glue them if you weigh a lot or ride hard. If you have money get Micro Metalcores though.

4) pretty boring

1: It's about preferance, ride what feels best to you.

2: Some colors wear down quicker. The grippiest are black, pink, and camo.

3: I guess it depends on what you ride and how smooth you are at riding it. I guess they wouldn't be but, Micro Metal Cores pwn hard.

4: Fine.

UNO: +they are way more comfortable for anything as long as theyre not too wide. -took me like 3 days to get used to, but other than that there arent any negatives

DOS: i dont think it feels any different

TRES: new yaks=bad; old yaks=good for anything

QUATRO: just peachy :) thanks for asking
 
1) cant tell you cuz i don't know yet

2) YES it is, all the little things that come off is basicly your grip coming off. But its still pretty good.

3) yeah if you don't ride hard.

4) pretty tiring

1) + feel way smoother , easy tailwhips , style
- sometimes heavier , ugly if to wide

2) im not sure neva had any

3) i guess if u just ride flat and not much big stuff on street or park

4) alright
 
1. + More control overall, dont know about bris or scooter flips(havent learned them yet), barspins/turndowns feel better, more comfortable, makes some tricks easier. Spins feel better. - May effect barspins. Not many negitives.

2. When i used to skateboard my red griptape i had cracked somehow (the deck didn't crack, just the griptape, and it wore down really fast.)? Just stick with black, its overall better grip and more choices to choose from.

3. I dont know much about yaks, The new batches are defected and from what i hear are really soft and squishy, and fall apart easier. Get low profiles or just stick with pro stocks if your going to ride street.

4. Good i guess. My GF is sick so she was crabby all day and felt like crap. Went ot the macaroni grill for dinner which was delicious. Went swimming today with my friend which was way fun. Overall a good day.

1. more control
2. usually, like clear grip tape deff. doesn't last long, but it depends on the brand. if you spraypaint mob or black magic, its bound to last you a while, just be not as grippy depending on the number of coats you put on and how thick the coats are.
4. not good, its 8 am, i just woke up, i'm still on Hawai'i time, so it feels like 3 am, and i have a small headache

edit: so tired i forgot three...
