Putting new grip tape on your skateboard is one of the easiest and most noticeable ways to make it your own and make a statement.
Aubrin Sage wanted to install this rad galaxy grip tape so we made a quick tutorial incase you want to install new griptape too!
1: Remove the bolts and trucks (axel/wheel assembly) from the board. Use a wrench on the nut or it will just spin as you twist the screw.
2: Peel off old grip tape
3: Stick the new grip tape on, starting in the middle and working towards the ends and edges to remove air bubbles
4: crease the grip tape around the perimeter of the board using the side of a screw driver. This provides a template on where to cut and begins to weaken the grip tape where it needs to be cut.
5: Use a razor blade to cut the griptape to size along the crease/scratch line.
6: Reinstall the trucks and bolts. Using a sharp point to poke bolt holes through the new grip tape from the underside of the board will save you time trying to locate them.
7: Wear what you want!
8: Ride it with pride! #RipIt
