What is the best grip tape? Best answer from most would be the stuff that's inbetween feeling like it's going to give and the stuff which feels like your feet are glued to the board.. the stuff on this perfect grip is usually aluminum oxide or a form of silica called S2. Both minerals are more quality consistent and harder wearing, which is why you will find this stuff is on the best griptape, including our own:

It's boring stuff, as we all just want to get out and skate, but having the best grip tape ( which still isn't expensive ) makes all the difference in your performance and enjoyment, no one wants to be taking longer to nail that new trick if your grip tape isn't performing how you want it.

Cheers for reading, and skate hard!
