i just got some candide's. ive been hearing a lot of stuff about the 'grip tape.' what is the purpose of thr grip tape? and is it that rough spot on the stop sheet of the skis (close to the front bindings)?

my best hypothesis about the grip is to put ur poles there riding up the tbar.

-jon, skiing the ice so the other half of the country doesnt have to.

I've heard two things...1) as a grip for grabbing...which is BS, who grabs the top sheet? and 2) so your skis don't slip when you carry them on your shoulder, which is retarded.

All I know is that Casper and I took them off and put them on some mad trixes and it looked funny and that the thing under it looks like a pussy.

Yeah, but who grabs the top sheet?

I haven't seen this. It's grip tape infront of both bindings glued to the topsheet?

hmmm...the rest of my msg above didn't come up, so here it is again.

'Its for grabbing mute' makes the most sense, but its still kinda stupid.

NO! Haven't you heard that story about that girl that always wears the ribbon around her neck! She never tells her lover what it is or why she wears it all the time...after many years they grow old and she tells him to untie it...her fucking head falls off! Don't take off the grip tape! Please!
