skategoat Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Contact cement? Use the water-based, green type. I don't *think* it will damage your board. D-Sub, you try it and let us know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 As Pat has mentioned.....the Test Pilot stomp pads are the best thing going. The owner os TP is around Mpls, but I haven't seen him for a few years (as I was trying to buy the company/rights). I do know where I large stash of these pads are located if folks have trouble finding online..... Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 2 methods that work, (1) Rear foot across the binding at the opposite angle, think super duck stance! Usually use this on short rope tows or lesser angle ramps. (2) Step in, if you have 'em, as you get off the chair. A little practice will make this second nature, and even if you miss, your toe is under the front bail. Why I have intecs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Randy - I have on my boards what you are looking for. The problem may be in getting more of them. I was able to buy a few last season and at the time I was asked how many boxes did I want? I like these as they do no interfere when packing for travel or need to be removed when its time to have a base grind.Labeled as "clear stomp pad . . . transparent traction". Cliff Ahumada turned me on to these. These were sold by Test-Pilot www.testpilotgear.com and they are not shown on their web site. I sent an e-mail late yesterday and if I do not get a reply today I will give them a call and post up their reply. Otherwise, you may have to consider some rubber ducky "no-slip" bath tub appliques http://www.alwaysbrilliant.com/aa/aspx-productpage/pid-641/dt-20051203/dpc-19/pd-42417/Tub/&/bb/Tub_&_Tile_Appliques.htm Pat, I was on the test pilot site and certainly didn't see what you were referring to. They had two stomp pads but none in the $9 category. Do you have a pic of the stomp pad you mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Their web site is supposedly under construction and these are available via phone or e-mail. They also threw in a sample pack of "Race Paste" high fluro past wax and a cool "Test Pilot" black on chrome oval sticker 1-1/4" x 4-1/2". "Clear Cut Stomp Pad" measures 5-3/4" wide x 8" long and no thicker than a credit card with a light surface texture; kind of like a 120 grit.

Scorpio Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 The link above seems to work. Are we looking at the same link? www.testpilotgear.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 The thin clear pad just isn't featured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Pat, thanks for the pics. Still kinda hard to see due to resolution. I might just go ahead and buy it anways. It's only $10. I can't lose that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Thin (clear) stomp pad on a Donek 182 GS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Morales Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Pat Is that stomp pad hard plasitic or urathane material? It looks like the grip tape used on skate boards that can be bought in rolls. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Frank, I would describe this as a soft plastic. Not really described on the package but it is a peel and press application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Carves Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 To solve this problem, I just put a few of the clear stomp pad dots on my board in front of the rear binding. You can't really see them, and they just act to knock the snow and ice off and prevent slippage. They are also really small, so probably wouldn't stick in a grinding... -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 One of our local skate/board shops here in Carbondale is selling these Test Pilot pads. Just bought one last week. Can pick up more and bring to SES if anyone wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 What's the name of the store in Carbondale? I would like to stop by there next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 The shop in Carbondale is called Casual Culture, it's next to Subway, across the street from the City Market. He has lots of clothing, quite a bit of fs boards, and some skate stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'm painfully cheap at times, and I have two stomp pad methods that I use: 1. Double-face Scotch tape sticks well enough to hold a sheet of material to a board. I have an old 1/4 inch thick foam typewriter pad that I've cut into stomp pads and held with the tape. They've stayed stuck for several sessions of riding, but also come off easily if you want them out of the way. 2. Walmart ('the evil empire") sells 2mm thick self-stick foam sheets in the arts and crafts department. Comes in various colors including black. This stuff sticks very well and makes a stomp pad just as good as the ones you can buy. I forget the price, but it's cheap, maybe a dollar or so for a 9x12 inch sheet. ....Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alakata Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 i say do away stomp pads i second the notion of riding on one foot for the length of the ramp, plus boards look cool without pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Clear shower traction dots. They are real cheap and dont take away form the boards beauty. remove them when you get a tune and put some more on after. Im sure you can get 20 of them for like $5. Its what I use on all my boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
