Sorry, slow news day. Apparently PJ Ladd and Jeff Grosso helped engineer this extra grippy grip:

Interesting.. I've always been a Mob guy though it's tough for me to switch. I've been riding Classic Griptape which is really good. It's a Canadian brand I think it's tied with Dime / Alltimers
-
Bad ass dude, when I think of grip I think of grosso every time!
Can't wait to pay a little more for it!
-
From what I can gather, Mob created M-80 to be more like Jessup and now Jessup created Ultragrip to be more like Mob
-
Oh you mean Mob grip.
-
Definitely gonna try this out. I love me some OG mob but the adhesive they use is trash. Jessup cuts better too
-
No chakra crystals, no buy.
-
Jessup always went smooth like bare around the edges for me. I wanna try this but doubt I ever will.
-
Very interested in this. I don't like MOB personally and normal Jessup could be a bit more gritty so maybe this will be great. Most of all I'd like a griptape that doesn't wear out very fast. I usually change the grip on my boards halfway through as the grip has gone too slick.
-
Just adhere some alleyway glass shards to your board with dumpster juice and stop wasting money.
-
Never thought Jessup would care enough to try and compete.
Btw black grizzly is the way to go
-
I will probably give this a shot. My backup board needs new grip anyways. Grip it and rip it.

Are they going to make the sheets thinner? I hate when the griptape is too thick and raises my center of gravity

It's a denim thing I know that feel

I might give it a try, but then again I dig OG Jessup the way it is; grippy but not overly grippy. Can't stand too grippy grip, kickflips where your foot feels like it's stuck in quicksand when you're trying to flick, no thanks. Every time I buy mob I usually have to sand it down, with Jessup it's good how it comes. I just wish Jessup didn't chip and peel away at the edges so easily, my only complaint.
-
Jessup is trash. I’m riding a sheet now. No where near as grippy as MOB. Feels like my feet are slipping off the board every time I pop. Not only that the grit is coming off in areas leaving a slippery black film.
-
hopefully they make it with a giant shake junt script.
I actually prefer Jessup because it’s not grippy - sonthis doesn’t seem right.

Btw black grizzly is the way to go
I understand the hate against Grizzly because of their stupid marketing stuff, but the fact is that their standard black grip is in between MOB and Jessup in terms of grip and is quite of high quality, it holds well in time and under any temperature, so it's definitively the best I have skated so far. On Tactics it's only ~1$ when you buy a deck.

Never even considered it because it looks goofy. Is the bear outline permanently cut out and, if not, is it visible if not removed?

They make black grip without the bear. Solid black. Got one sheet of it some years ago. Can't say how it is as a grip though as I only skated that deck a few times. 🤔

This. Jessup hates nollie heels.

Grip is grip to me.
-
I personally skate Jessup because it is less grippier than Mob.
Making it grippier makes no sens at all.
-
I have been skating it for a minute. I prefer the less grippy jessup
-
I've never chosen grip, just get the free shit that comes with a board. I'm super fucken cool though.

It's a little harder to find. Skateshops don't really carry grizzly and I don't think the blank grip is what grizzly customers really want. a quick look online and I only see it at Zumiez. I bought a bunch of it on clearance when a shop closed. And yeah, a middle ground between mob and Jessup is a close description.
I'd say if you see any grizzly in person, check out the grit and then decided if it's worth the trouble to find it blank

For all the people saying they like Jessup the way it is, this product isn't for you. This is to take a chunk of the market that is currently owned by MOB.
I will also use this time to again state I can't stand Jessup, the grit falls off and leaves a slick black gripless film on the board. I was completely dissatisfied with the sheet I just rode because of it. I never should have tried it, I figured after 10 years they would have fixed that.

crazy I always like that it leaves behind the film when you land with the board upside down. might be bostalgia but it looks like a shredded bag or something.
I skated mob M80 as well and liked it but Ive riding jessup almost exclusively for 20 or 19 years to change.

Regular Jessup is the gold standard, but I do like the grip of mob for certain things.
The problem I have with mob is that the adhesion is often piss poor, and all it takes is fucking up a flip trick one time for it to curl up at the ends. I’m talking no matter how much you file or sand the edges after gripping, the adhesion is just bad. If you end up getting dirt and debris beneath the grip when it lifts, forget about it, you gotta pull the entire thing off.
It’s a shame because I do like mob, but it has huge faults.
-
I've skated vary close to only mob for the past at least 8 years, and I've never had a problem with it coming off. I had the creases on nose and/or tail plenty, but it stays on there.

Really? I’ve had it start to curl many times, under different circumstances and environments. The creasing too is something I’ve experienced.
It doesn’t deter me from using it though.
-
just recently did the sand the top a little thing on new mob (just on the nose a little). seems like it's easy to overdo it. doesn't take much to get it smoother -just a few strokes if that with a scrap piece. and i still have the durability of mob which never feels like it needs to be replaced, which is why i switched from being a jessup guy years ago.
-
I literally only like jessup because it's not super grippy..

Yes, I have some, it is grippier than normal jessup, just as thin, and chunks off just like regular jessup.

Sounds nice. Does it wear down as fast as Mob?

Is it just my imagination or was Black Magic once up there with Mob & Jessup as an industry standard? Like 20 years ago, I just remember it being the main thing. At least in Jersey it was.

Ive been skating reg mob and love it but been curious about jessup or something less grippy. How does shake junt fit in the mob - jessup grippyness scale?

if you get plain or just die cut shake junt, its right down the middle between mob and jessup (to me).
kinda like mob m-80.

There’s no way to improve grip until spray grip. I want to make a grip tape Mohawk and paint it

It was huge when I was growing up in Florida. I loved black magic so much, it was perfect. The last time I saw it was probably 3-4 years ago and they only had it in the 4 square packaging.

old skool black magic was some of the best grip ever

Some buddy got me a sheet not too long ago. It's a good grip just in between classic Jessup and Mob. You feel it's gippy, but not too grippy like Mob at first.
Also no glue issues.
-
Didn't skate it yet, but I do know that the grip is softer unlike Mob, which is stiffer and is prone to creasing.

I do this only if my local has grip that’s just as wide as the deck. I know I’ll fuck it up if I try. But as long as the grip they have in stock is roughly .25”-1” wider I can do it myself.

Just got a new deck with Jessup Ultra... It feels exactly like Mob. I prefer the classic Jessup

Have any MOB riders tried it yet?
I’m considering getting some on my next deck to compare the two but I’d like to hear what people think. Pros/Cons?

Mob loyalist here, i tried it really hoping to like it (the shop i usually go to runs out of mob often) and i just couldnt get myself to feel the same. Compared to mob, the sheet itself is a lot thinner and not as stiff, and the color of the grip itself is darker. Mob is sort of a grey color and jessup is very black, its also shiny. I skated it on a sunny day and it was reflecting back at me which is something ive never noticed with grip. For the actual grip, it feels similar to mob but not quite as grippy, i just couldnt get down with it. May try it again in a few months but for now im just gonna hoard mob.
-
Been skating if for the past month or so.
Same thickness as jessup, meaning it grips the same and all that.
The grit is for sure more course than standard jessup, however I didn't feel the need to sand it down like a do a new sheet of mob. The grit stays after skating it too, unlike mob almost becoming slick after a couple weeks.
I did however have my first issues with grip tape ripping. Never had the issue with regular jessup but I took a decent sized chunk out of my nose as the ultragrip just kinda ripped off. I've worked at a skateshop for 3.5 years so I know how to grip to avoid this issue. (it was starting to get cold here in montana so that could have caused this particular issue.)
All in all I think its a solid grip option and probably my go to from now on. Just as sticky and easy to grip as og jessup with more grit that last!
-
Tried it. Too grippy. Even more grippy than MOB
Although gripping with Ultra Grip is easier because it’s thinner, I’ll stick with MOB
-
I'll have to give it a try.

Too grippy? Shit, I just ordered some today (and I like MOB).

So is it more or less grippy than Mob lol?
I used to sand Mob down but now I feel like it could be more grippy. I wonder if it’s my preference changing or if quality control is off lately. I swear my last sheet of SJ was grippier than my current sheer of Mob (not that it’s bad though).

Not your imagination. Back in the day it was Monkey grip or Black Magic.
Nothing else, at least here.

I'll let you know today when I grip! I randomly picked the new Jessup Ultra to check it out as I'm back skating (dusty) parks again.
I rode OG MOB forever, then MOB M-80 last few boards have been Jessup, primitive grip, and thank you supply grip (dwindle) all of which performed just fine.

To me it feels less grippy and it doesn't tear up shoes nearly as bad. I feel like the jessup ultra grip has less grit yet thicker grit while Mob has more grit but just thinner grit material. But jessup ultra STAYS as grippy as it comes. Unlike mob where half of the grit falls of after a week. I think mob feels grippier before you skate it but within no time my mob felt way less grippy than the ultra grip.

That sounds pretty good. I like grippy grip and I hate grip that has gone bald. I also refuse to buy mob. Gotta ask my local if they'd get some jessup ultragrip next time they get new stuff in.

Why would you refuse Mob? Mob does loose its grip fairly fast compared to SJ I’ve noticed. I’ll definitely buy some Ultra Grip for my next deck. I’ve heard Grizzly holds up like SJ but I’ve never tried it... not a fan of the company and plain black is hard to find.

I have a problem with their support of white power and I'm not a big fan of the grip anyway. Goes bald fast and is kinda clunky to apply.

Gripped a new sled today with the ultra grip, it doesn't feel grippier than MOB to me, but rather in between regs jessup and mob; agree on the less but bigger feeling grit.

Yeah actually I have one deck that I used it on and to be honest I couldn't tell you what deck it is. Maybe its just on a deck I hardly ever ride or one of the ones I gave away or something but at any rate I don't think it's a "game changer". More of a "slightly different alternative to the 2 grips that most shops have a roll of".
Black Magic has a really nice feel but the last sheet I got was super thin and the first shit flip I kicked into the ground gouged a quarter sized piece out of the nose. Only grip I've had that issue with, including really cheap ones. Maybe if I wasn't a horrifyingly bad skater I would switch to it, but I need something durable with my skill level. Btw if anyones looking for it you can get sheets from TGM for like $5 shipped and they're really quick about getting it to you. They have a fairly decent selection of other more obscure grips as well.
Surprisingly I got a sheet of Element MLB grip (its Pittsburgh Pirates and it was a Kanfoush deck so it felt right) and I really like it.. its smooth but not slick, like it has a high density of a very fine grit.
What's Flypaper like? That might be the only cutout I don't hate the look of.

It's definitely grippier feeling than regular Jessup, no doubt; was skating transition today and my feel were locked in (granted it was new grip) but you could feel the foot position shuffle taking a bit more effort than on new regs jessup.
I've not ridden Fly Paper is forever, is it still done by Madrid?
High density/fine grip is what the Thank You supply co grip is like (which I really like); but you have to cut away the obnoxious white thank you supply logo ;)

How does the Ultragrip slice though? Regular Jessup is like butter, and Mob is a garbage experience in every aspect.

Slices easier than MOB for sure. The last few mobs I've had seemed stiff and brittle.

In my personal experience, it's kinda always been the opposite. Jessup stays relatively the same as it starts mob loses its grit dramatically. Not saying it's still not grippy, but mob seems to change the most from set up to after a few sessions.

I still haven't gotten the new Ultragrip but I agree with Mob going bald quick. One more reason to not like it.
