2 functional uses for me!

Brilliant! Not only are they great for practicing tricks on concrete and getting out of grass, I've started using them as a hack at work! I have constant sciatic nerve issues so about a year ago I invested in a motorized sit-stand desk and use a really comfortable standing mat. My only problem with my mat is that it doesn't activate my upper body when I change stance positions on a flat surface instead of activating my upper body on an uneven surface. My chiropractor recommended I look for standing boards or uneven mats and I quickly realized how expensive they are! If my skateboard works with these grips, I'll have the perfect do-it-yourself stand up board! These rubber grips keep the board in place and while my HR rep was a little nervous, he couldn't dispute its purpose and stability compared to another really expensive board that someone else in the office was using for their standing desk. The work in two areas of my life gets 5 stars from me! Also, I would like to address someone else by mentioning that they have a hard time getting behind the wheel. While it's true that it's a little fiddly, I take it as a sign of solid construction because it's not so heavy that you need help from anyone or anything other than your hands to install it. I'm a petite 5'2" woman who doesn't really have that much muscle and I was able to pump her up just fine :)
