Skateboard Griptape - Choose the Right One for Best Grip and Performance
Griptape is one of the most basic but crucial parts of your skateboard. It is an adhesive coating that is applied to the deck to provide a stable grip when standing on your board. Without a good grip tape, it can be difficult to perform tricks and keep your balance.
What is Griptape?
Griptape resembles a large sticker with a sandpaper-like surface. It gives your shoes a firm grip, which is essential for performing tricks like ollies, kickflips and grinds. Griptape is available in different colors and patterns, so you can customize your skateboard to your personal style.
Installation of Griptape
Installing grip tape is a simple process, but it's important to do it carefully for best results. Here are some steps to follow:
- Clean the Deck Surface : Remove old grip tape and clean the surface thoroughly to ensure the new sticker adheres properly.
- Apply Griptape : Starting from one end, press the griptape against the deck, making sure no air bubbles form.
- Trim Excess : Use a razor blade to trim excess grip tape along the edges.
