Grip tape is – as the name suggests – tape that gives your feet grip on your skateboard. This tape, which looks a lot like sandpaper from above, ensures that your board behaves as you want it to, allowing you to stick your tricks. Allour skateboard decks come standard with FREE black grip tape (on your board or loose). If you want to add a little more personality to your deck, we also offer colored and printed grip tape from brands likeElementandPlan B.For instructions on how to apply your grip tape, check out YouTube or contact the shop. Make sure you have an old screwdriver and a utility knife handy.
