00:00You know that moment when you push off, go for a kickflip, and your foot just slides right off the
00:04board?
00:05Yeah, that's not you being bad at skating, that's your grip tape giving up on you.
00:10Worn-out grip is honestly the number one thing killing people's tricks, and nobody talks about it.
00:16So I went digging and pulled together the five best grip tapes I could find that actually deliver real traction
00:21without costing you a fortune.
00:24Let's get into it.
00:26First up is this decorative grip tape sticker that works on skateboards, longboards, and scooters.
00:31What I like about this one is that it's not just function, it's got that frosted, textured finish that actually
00:37looks good on a deck while still biting into your shoes.
00:40Nearly 5,000 of these have sold and it's holding a 4.4 rating, so people clearly aren't mad about
00:46it.
00:47At $10.51, it's a solid pick if you want your board to look custom without paying for a custom
00:53deck.
00:54Good middle ground between style and grip
00:57Next, the clear skateboard grip tape.
01:00Now this is the one for people who spend good money on a deck with beautiful graphics and then immediately
01:05covered it up with black sandpaper.
01:08Painful, right?
01:09This stuff goes unclear, so your artwork shows through, and it's designed for easy application,
01:14which matters way more than you'd think anyone who's fought with bubbles under grip tape knows exactly what I mean.
01:21It's 1327, sitting at a 4.7 rating with almost 4,900 sold.
01:26If you care how your board looks from underneath, this is your answer.
01:31Coming in third, and honestly this might be the value king of the whole list, the 120x26cm clear longboard sandpaper.
01:39It's thickened grip tape, which means it holds up longer before it starts wearing smooth,
01:43and it's sized for longboards and scooters, so you're getting real coverage.
01:47Here's the kicker, it's $4.73.
01:51Under 5 bucks.
01:53And it's got a perfect 5-star rating with over 4,800 sold.
01:58If you're on a budget or you just want a backup roll sitting in your bag, grab this one and
02:03don't overthink it.
02:04Fourth up is the waterproof grip tape roll, and this one solves a specific problem.
02:09If you skate in the morning when there's dew on the ground, or you live somewhere that's damp half the
02:14year,
02:14normal grip tape turns into a slick mess.
02:17This is waterproof, comes as an 81x21cm sheet, and works on skateboards, longboards, and scooters.
02:25$7.15, perfect 5-star rating, and nearly 4,700 sold.
02:31For 7 bucks, having grip that doesn't quit when things get wet is a genuinely smart buy.
02:36And rounding out the list, the Protective Dancing Longboard Grip Tape.
02:41This one's built for a specific crowd if you're doing longboard dancing, cross-stepping,
02:45moving your feet all over the deck, you need grip that's consistent from nose to tail.
02:51It's 122cm long, anti-slip, and comes with colorful graphic design so your board actually stands out at the park.
02:59$12.60, 4.7 rating, over 4,000 sold.
03:03If you're a dancer or you just ride a long deck, this is the one made for how you actually
03:08skate.
03:09Alright, that's the 5.
