Strange..

Why should you do that?
Not sure where you want to go with this thread.

Yeah, you would probably manage the same tricks, but
it's best the normal way. ;)

It would definitely be odd, but hey if you have enough time to think about stuff like this why don't you have time to try it out?

Actually, I thought about this before. I tried to staple sand paper the toe of my shoes and I taped a peice of trampole to my board.

Why dont you do it and find out. If stuff goes sour then whos cares but if it works you might be rich. You could revolutionize skateboarding. You could go down in history as the coolest nigga ever! or It would probaly burn and go all black and stink bad.

Just change both the materials, and you'llhave to change your boards grip as much as changing your shoes right now.

Griptape shoes, leather "griptape".

Why not just stick with what we have now? so much simpler.

covering your shoes in griptape would be the tricky part.

wait, this idea is rediculouse.

if it were better like that, wouldnt they make skateboards with rubber on them, and skate shoes with grip tape on them?.

no because usually the grip is solid on the board and has the sticky side to it, but now its get the grip side. its kind of a weird idea. yet it is interesting.

it'd be funny to see!
i dont think you'd have to put rubber on your board though, the regular wood could probably work ok? try it and videotape it haha

No i dont think that would work because the grip tape would slow you down when trying to ollie etc.
