Subject: THIS IS IT! Mystic riddim'z Experimental Tape Thu Oct 21, 2010 1:30 am
Hi guys its my pleasure introduce to you the latest tape made by Mystic Riddim'z. He designed it strictly for fingerboard unlike neotape or other tapes they are designed for other purpose like leather goods, neoprene products and etc. (We just altered it for fb's to make foam-tapes affordable). I'm not degrading our own neotape it will still be the cheapest. This is another option.This tape was made from raw material! We can adjust the texture and density of the product to satisfy pro-fingerboarders preference its not ordered/imported precut or whole sheet its made from liquid chemicals up to its final form. Astig diba?
Here's the Experimental Tape.
What is a good tape? For me a good tape should be dense (siksik) and will jive with the texture or my fingerpads. Personally I tried Riptape, Mantra, Neotape, Griptape and FBS. Till this afternoon i was a big FBS fan but let's admit it it's a little expensive because its imported from another country (No disrespect to bike we owe it all to him) but Jamee went to my house and gave me his experimental tape i suddenly realize this item is better than FBS. On what basis or category? Here are few points that i will discuss if you have questions feel free to pm and ask me.
Texture: (My Rating 10/10) As i touch the prototype it really feels like worn fbs (ganun ka kapit pero di dumidikit sarap!) And its like soft gum and i was overwhelmed when he told me he can still change the texture because he made it from liquid form.
On the picture below, Left: Prototype Right: FBS Installed in my MFI. Check out the texture its almost identical.
Dimension: (My Rating 10/10) This tape is so thin much like FBS and Riptape. Well nothing much to say on this just check the photo.
Quality and Durability (My Rating 10/10) As we all know tapes are easy to break when our FB is used for about a month or 2 the tapes are rapidly worn out but what's different with this tape well here's the secret. This is actually made of 2 mixtures of compound the upper portion 90% of the tape is a material similar to neoprene but its not neoprene (the chemical is classified) and the bottom layer like 10% (Gapapel sa nipis) is made with RUBBER! So what right? Well the upper portion is for traction the lower portion is for elasticity it will make the tape more durable. Well check the photo below lets see if you can see the rubber...
Well here it is. Check the bottom part of the tape there's a thin layer of rubber.
Here are other photos during the installation on my deck.
FBS
Finished, Can you see the rubber?
On Left is the FBS on the Right is the Prototype
Let's wrap this up, this item is not yet available and still subject for testing. I will leave you with a short video showing the installation of the prototype and check out how many hard strokes i did before the tape was shaved for fbs/neo in 3-5 strokes the tape is already shaved. But with this one it takes an average of 14 strokes before it'll come off.
Support The Local Scene!!!

nice edge! panalo yan panigurado, i'm sure built to last yan, hehehe. sana perfect na ung pagkaka-buo sa tape na yan, i-mass produce na para ma-testing na naten...
ung rubber sa ilalim ng foam, i think mababawasan niya yung pag-worn out ng foam sa gilid ng deck, lalo na kapag gumagasgas ung mga deck pabaligtad sa surface ng pinaglalaruan ng mga player...
how much naman yan kung i-mass produce? kung mas mura siya sa fbs, i think much better lalo na at lokal na produkto pa...

With regards to the price ang estimated price per sheet is below 180p estimated palang yan ha pero di na aangat pa dyan baka cheaper pa. Kasi yung cost nung raw material medyo expensive bro kesa naman mag suffer yung quality diba.
Red: Mismo bro yan ang silbi nung rubber well kaya nga prototype kasi we're still testing it hehehe but with the initial test bro its worth every centavo!

kapag na-mass produce na yan, pede din i-benta ni bike yan sa ibang bansa tru webshop niya, kahit pa kasing presyo ng fbs yan, kung magiging mas oks ung quality niyan kesa sa fbs, bakit hindi, di ba? can't wait to have it, kaya i-mass produce na yan bro, lols...
mag-aabang ako ng updates mo d2 edge, hehe...

I think it can surpass fbs on quality on texture di to mag papatalo. Maganda pag na mass produce na at makuha feedback nang iba. This one is a little heavier than fbs kasi mas dense sya pero not an issue naman kasi more weight more pop saka dahil sa ginamit din na adhesive 3M kasi ginamit niya dyan para malupet we'll try other brands din...

thanks sir edge sa pag-review ng tape ko. thanks din sir sehdreek sa enthusiasm mo.
- a brief history: actually sir. wala ako dapat plano mag-benta ng tape na gawa ko, o ipa-review. initially ginawa ko yun pang-sariling gamit lang sana. kasi not all the time may stocks ng fbs kay sir bike. at di ko din kaya mag-hoard ng ganon kadaming fbs. so i was thinking, pano pag wala nako mabili o immediate na pambili. kaya nag-pa-guide ako sa kamag-anak kong chemist para makagawa nito. di naman sya nag-fi-fingerboard kaya the rest was up to me. sir bike even suggested. 'kuha ka ng fbs tapos pag-aralan mo' so i did...
fast forward>>> on one of my posts na-meet ko si sir edge. we were talking about music actually. musikero din pala sya. di pa nga kami nag-meet ang bait na e. siguro dahil we share the same line. he handed me free stuff not asking for a single centavo in return. nahiya ako kaya i offered to give a sample of my experimental tape. hehe (aga para sa exchange gift). it turned out na na-gustuhan nya. at makakatulong daw sa scene kung ilalabas. para may alternative/option ang mga kapatid natin...
hopefully ma-accept sana. thanks.

congratz sa bagong innovation sa FB tapes!
isang concern ko lang siguro is try na medyo basa basaiin yung prototype. tignan natin kung anu magiging reaction nung material dun sa pinka bottom na rubber (kung matatanggal or kakapit pa din). yung fbs kasi pag medyo madumi na ang ginagawa ko medyo dini-dip ko yung daliri ko sa tubig tapos i wa-wipe ko sa FBS para matangal yung mga dust at dumi. then patuyuin ng konti. napansin ko wala naman nangyayaring panget dun sa FBS ko. although ako lang naman ata gumagawa ng ganun hehe. i-consider na lang siguro natin yung mga pasmadong daliri minsan na nalalagyan ng pawis yung tape.. opinion lang naman to.

The prototype is more dense compared to fbs kaya nga soft ang fbs kasi madaming airpockets matagal bumabalik sa original form at mas madali masira compared sa siksik tapos may rubber mas elastic. Regarding sa kapit well 3M yung adhesive nito kaya makapit talaga...

thanks po sir sa input. hanga ako at nasilip nyo yung angle na 'yon. pero not to worry sir. kasi nasilip ko na din po 'yan. the porous material on top and the rubber substance at bottom is joined not by adhesion but with a special fusing process. ibabad mo man sa tubig, di sila maghihiwalay. concerning naman the adhesion of the tape itself to the deck, tulad ng sabi ni sir edge, maganda naman quality ng tape na ginamit at di basta matatangal, and the tape material is dense, not spongy kaya di sya mag-tra-trap ng water sa loob. kaya magiging consistent pa din sya.
about your concern kung madumi o maalikabok na sya. not to worry sir, i made an actual demonstration of this in-front of sir edge. i just used my thumb or forefinger to wipe-off dust or foreign particles on top of the material. it would be a nice trick also to rub the tape, applying just a small amount of friction/pressure, before play. this is a concept i got from playing R/C touring cars before. pinaiinit muna yung gulong for more traction before actual play.
pero thanks sir sa concern mo maganda yan. people like you would help a lot through product input for good quality.
and like i've said this was intentionally created for my own use lang sana, not for mass production and consumer availability. syempre, gagawa lang din ako ng gamit para sa sarili ko, dapat the best na na magagawa ko diba? but like a few, sir EDGE said that this would help the Pinoy FB scene a lot. Oo nga naman. Bakit naman natin sasrilihin diba? At maka-aasa kang the tape is home made goody not commercial. parang sa food, mas masarap ang lutong bahay kaysa sa commercial food dahil hindi tinipid at quality ang ingredients.
O... kain na muna... hapunan na. haha
