Skateboarding grip tape is a coarse sand paper like sheet, which is applied over the deck of the skateboard. This adhesive tape helps you to control your skateboard by increasing the friction between your shoes and the skateboard. It is generally a black colored tape, though you can find grip tapes of a variety of other colors. Depending upon your personal choice and your creativity, you can work wonders even with this black tape and create your own personalized skateboard.

You shall find skateboarding grip tape in the form of rolled sheets. They are made with a variety of materials and therefore the quality of these tapes varies with the type and grade of the material used. It also differs from company to company as well as the manufacturing process adopted. Make sure that the material used for your skateboarding grip tape is of the best quality in order to avoid accidents.

If you are planning to use the grip tape to decorate your old skateboard, ensure that you remove the trucks as well as the previous grip tape completely from the deck first. If you allow any portions of the old tape to remain then the new tape fixed will peel from the older one. Moreover, it will also become quite difficult to fix the skateboarding grip tape properly with the other hardware on the deck in place. While laying down the grip tape on the deck of the skateboard, you should be cautious to avoid any air from being trapped in between the tape and the deck or else the tape shall rip off the board while skateboarding. To avoid this you should apply pressure and push the air towards the rim of the deck while applying the grip tape starting from the front end of the deck and moving towards the back. Another thing that you should bear in mind while laying down the grip tape is to lay it in such a fashion, which easily identifies the nose and tail of the skateboard. You may alternatively choose to spray paint the top of your skateboard’s deck.  Read more...
