Grip tape: noun. Grip tape is an adhesive backed friction-surfaced material.
The longboard grip tape must be chosen carefully. First make sure that it is LONGBOARD grip tape, not skateboard grip tape, skateboard grip is shorter. For brands Jessup is horrible, but black magic is good, insect grip or pizza are both particularly grippy. Expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $35.
First take the backing off of the grip. Put the first end on straight. Angle the grip tape toward you and slowly lay it flat, work to the end of the grip tape by moving diagonally to the other end. Once it is firmly in place, there should be no air bubbles! If there are any, pop them with a needle or a razor blade. Now that the grip tape is adhered, just score the edges by running a screw driver or dull end of a knife down the edges of the board, this makes a white line. Use a razor blade or sharp knife to cut along this white line, it should slide easily along the line. Now look on the edge of the board to see if there is any extras. If there is, just pull them off. Now just use the screw driver to make holes in the board where the hardware will be. The board is now COMPLETED!

While skateboarding is largely more popular than longboarding, they each have their own merits. If you don't know how to do either, you should know that both are a lot of fun, but it's slightly easier to learn how to ride a longboard.
ReplyDeleteI love longboarding: It’s practical. I can go around in a longboard instead of using a car on some days.
ReplyDeleteI’d like to see volleyball or baseball have some direct real life application (okay, the sports kind of have,you can run faster and what not but still! It’s different from longboarding’s practicality).
if you are a newbie riders and want to make secure riding experience then you must choose a Drop-through or Drop-down longboard.
