    Exclamation good flatland traction pad setups?

    Hey I want to put traction across my entire roush skimboard but have some questions. Freak makes a flatland 6 pack and i was thinking about that but paradise coalitition makes a 3 pack for half the price. I am leaning towards paradise because it each pad is a different color and it is cheaper. Will 3 pads cover the whole board or do you have to get 6. I am also thinking I am going to cut it up so it covers more of the board. How should I cut it up?(strips,squares,etc.) If you have answers to my questions, comments, or photos, they all help.( especially photos)


    thanks.

    In the pack does 3 pads cover 1 board or do you need all six for one board.

    i use anywhere from 4-6 depending on how i cut and spread them out. i would reccomend using all 6 so you have full grip
