it's functional enough. hah.

I mean I know where I put my feet and it works out.  If I turn out to be wrong, I'll just add some more tape.

I haven't checked that site in a long time.  It's good for tutorials and stuff though.

I've done the same thing to one of my old decks. It looks nice for the 1st week but it get all scummy and shite. Especially if your caught in the rain, the shoe/asphalt/board combination isn't so hot.

The same goes for clear grip tape. Don't waste your money.

btw nice cutting, it looks pretty smooth.

Will the griptape break apart or something?  Or do you just mean it looks dirty?  This is my commuter board.  I'd rather it stay together for more than a week haha.
