Black Griptape

What is black griptape?

Black griptape is the standard, most common grip. It gives your shoes the traction to control your board, pop tricks and lock into grinds, with the classic look most skaters run.

Is black griptape better than clear or graphic?

They all grip the same. Black is the classic default, while clear shows your deck graphic and graphic grip adds a printed design. It comes down to looks.

How often should I replace black griptape?

Replace it when it wears smooth, peels at the edges or stops gripping. Heavy skaters may change grip every few months, others much less often.

How do I apply black griptape?

Lay it over your deck, press it down, score the edges with a file and trim with a blade. Pair fresh grip with a new deck for a clean setup.
