dont do this kids… its silly makes your board weak. If you really wanna customise your board this way do it before you grip. like cut out the letters before hand and place parts of the letter on free hand. Mainly aiming to not cut your board with a knife like seriously???

Thanks for the advice i did it to my Rob Dyrdek mind field board i cut the grip cause there was a strip that said mind field on the deck so i cut the grip away once again thanks

second one never cut into the grip once on the deck cause it cuts into the first ply and makes the board weaker
