Does anyone sell gatorgrip anymore

What was 3dayparts called before they changed the name?

it was ripper racing when Mario bought it from larry and nick was carbon tech when he bought it from Mario a couple years later. nick bought out DCT sports in the so cal area and started calling it all 3dayparts/carbon tech/gator grip. the business started fizzling out around 2005 cause he couldn't get a lot of parts for older skis cause the industry was dying. he sold carbon tech to boyesen when it was still worth some money and folded up the shop. there was a 10 years no compete clause on him making reeds.

He's been posting "ttt" on everyone's posts. Looks to be trying to get his post count up

we talked about him doing reeds again but I don't think it would be worth doing and he agrees. with boyesen and vforce being the main reeds, it would be hard to step in and turn a profit. he thought DCT was a stupid name and nobody could remember it.

Ripper Racing(Gator Grip) was one of my sponsors when I did the National tour. Later, I ran it on my Superjet as well. It wasn't as durable as Hydroturf...but, it worked well!

Once upon a time I had purchased this flavor from Ripper Racing for the FX-1. It was so easy to patch wear spots and blend seems. Wish this pattern was still around.

Fock yeah, the UNDERTAKER! I used to do that one at the end of my routine "back in the day"! Then you would tell the announcer to say, "Oh no, it looks like he's got his strap caught in the pump!" haha
As soon as I did the flip and got in the undertaker position and started idling away, I would shake my legs violently to simulate pump carnage. lolol Pure fun! Great pics Aquaholic!

Geez, some of you gotta be old as dirt to remember that much further back than me!

My current boat still has the GG on the swimstep. Still looks great, not slick at all. People still comment on it all the time.
