yes! my friend told me this but i didnt believe him. if ur deck has hardly got pop left then u shud do this to make it 60% more poppy.
step 1: fill a bucket of water up just a bit.
step 2: put the tail of ur deck into the water with the griptape and let it soak for about 1 hour.
step 3: take it out and force the tail upwards and it will bend because it is soaked.
step 4: leave it in the sun for about 3 hours so that it dries and when it dries it will point further upwards and be really stiff.
Dont believe me if u dont want to, but this seriously works if ur deck doesnt have much pop left. this is awesome but make sure u dont skate it until it is completely dry. :)
