Adam Banton just sent us some new pics of his bike. The theme is freestyle and the white tanwall rims are in full effect. If the fist of post rule looks like it’s being violated, that’s because Morgan Wade dropped his seat for him so could learn decades and opposite whips. Lowering it has helped a lot and it doesn’t look like it’ll be coming up again any time soon; “You don’t mess with someone who looped Mt. Baldy.”

Banton 2:
Olastic Rubber

Adam Banton has a new grip that’s designed with a speaker mesh pattern and guitar flanges. It also features our new Olastic Rubber compound which allows the grip to be softer without sacrificing durability. The thickness is about average but the harder you grip, the thinner it feels. Just like most of our other grips, if you don’t like the flange, you can just snip it at the slit. Our Par Ends come with it for freeeeee!!!

To get your hands on a pair, ask for ADAM BANTON 2 grips at your local shop or mail-orders.

Adam Banton has a completely new grip that uses our new Olastic Rubber compound. Click around the flipbook above to see what it’s all about.

Available now in Brown, Black and Red!!!
