Stay in control on your pro scooter with a new sheet of grip tape. Applying grip tape is something you can do yourself but there are a few steps to follow, so our scooter expert Mike is on hand to walk you through the process:
- First, measure your deck and grip tape.
- Flip the grip tape and mark your measurements.
- Using a ruler and a sharp knife, cut your grip tape.
- Now, remove the brake, axle and deck ends.
- Unstick the top part of your grip tape, and align it on top of the deck.
- Make sure it's straight and start sticking it onto the deck.
- Using the protective paper, squeeze out all air bubbles.
- Make 2 small cuts in the grip tape at the end of the deck.
- Now, score the grip tape along the edges of the deck.
- Using a sharp knife, make a long steady cut along the sides of the deck.
- Now slowly work your way around the back of the deck.
- If needed, fix the sharp edges.
Now your scooter is gripped!
