Griptape

The importance of grip in controlling your tricks

As the sole point of contact between your shoes and the wood of your deck, skateboard grip tape is a fundamental element of your riding. Much more than just an abrasive strip, it is essential for creating the friction needed during the "flick" (shoe slide) to pop your ollies and flips. A high-performance grip ensures precise control and maximum safety, whether you're skating street or transition.

Technical specifications: grain type and easy application

Choosing a professional grip relies on strict criteria to ensure your progression:

• Grit type: A standard grain (like Jessup) offers balanced traction that is easy on your shoes. An "extra-coarse" grain (like Mob Grip) provides maximum grip, highly favored in bowls and ramps.
• Anti-bubble technology: High-end grips feature invisible micro-perforations that allow air to escape during application, eliminating any risk of unsightly bubbles.
• Adhesive quality: A waterproof vinyl backing with a strong adhesive prevents edge peeling and ensures a clean, easy cut.
