Thread: Best SP traction pad options?

    Best SP traction pad options?

    Just got a 5,6 fst potato, now trying to sort out which pads work the best with the potato's round tail and don't look too bad either. Does anyone have a pad they really love for the spud? Post pics!

    Good question.

    I'm currently debating between the no pad option, or just putting a white tail kick on so I know my foot is in the spot.

    The CI Dane pad seems to work pretty well too.

    The guy I bought it from put a longboard tailpad on it. I also added a tail bumper as a smaller SP I had had one and I thought it was a good idea.

    Sean Mattison wide-tail pad. The website says they are sold out, but a new shipment came in last week. Call him. These are the BEST pads for the SP and BP.
