Wonder whats happening with the established griptape companies that other people are just making heavy listed griptape companies

My guess is no one likes Kelly hart and he’s tm of mob so they all dipped or they never had a grip tape sponsor to begin with and someone just said do you want an extra $200 a month?

Isn't Cairo now the TM of MOB? Or is he brand manager?

[spooky electric]

i'm genuinely surprised at how interested in griptape people are. i really don't feel like i've ever been affected by any grip i've skated other than one time when i was like 11 and had to buy some unbranded blue grip from a surf shop, it's backing was white and all the grit fell off in a few weeks.

Brand manager. Left Adidas for second tier griptape, weird.

Less mouths to feed = more profit for the skaters. im sure these guys own a piece of the company too.

 grip-tape seems pretty simple in terms of manufacturing (they dont have to make seasonal drops like clothing, dont need a huge warehouse space since its just sheets, probably cost less than a dollar per sheet so low startup costs, etc.), and they have the clout for local shops to work with em

I didn't even hear much about Miles besides the initial announcement, like how good it was or wasn't.  I feel like this is going to be the same.

[close]

that's what I'm honestly curious about, I personally have not seen any miles out in the wild or heard of anything about the quality.... & also all y'all are are so adamant on NEVER paying for grip but will turn around & spend the same amount on a sheet on shake junt 

[close]

I have paid for Miles and love it, would cop again.

[close]

I love Miles too, so stocked up on it when it was on Black Friday sale. Coming from Mob it felt similar to Jessup but the grit stayed resilient and grippy throughout the life of the board. It also has a pretty rainbow-esque sheen when the sun hits it right, not that it matters though. Wonder if Jessup Ultra is comparable.

[close]

I use mob as much as I want to use something else. Mob works best for me. jessup ultra was grippier than normal jessup. Easy to cut like normal jessup but still lost grip quickly and got the bald spots on edges where there was no grip like normal jessup does for me. Mob loses grip and feels like new jessup. If you go through boards quickly I can’t see it being an issue. But it’s worth a try. I enjoyed ultra as a Keene t in between until the bald edges and loss of grip happened but maybe I had a bad sheet

For me Jessup Ultragrip lasts a lot longer than Mob, like 3+ times as long. I skate a lot of spots with really fine sand/dust and that just kills all other grips fast with me shuffling about so much.

Looks like Pepper Grip is on SW right now if you guys are interested:

Interesting. Def feel like griptape brands are arising. Miles had a sick team but the branding looked so basic. Like a clothing brand your friend in High School made.

Classic Griptape is pretty sick, just straight Canadian homie vibes. Brother brand to Dime and Alltimers.

I wouldn't say I'm a nut about grip like some people are about trucks/bearings, I do tend to steer clear from mob but I think thats just the older dudes at the local in my head. I'm more so curious whats up with so many new grip company's starting with huge dudes. It's weird to me that someone would even want to try and make more competition in a market that's product is pretty much handed out for free or one or the other mob, jessup, shake junt.... Idk, same as bolt company's everyone and their dog has bolt company starting now...

Pepper does make you sneeze, its also rumored to sober you up/ mellow out a high according to Neil Young

I am also hoping the report on pepper grip comes soon

[GlenSuggittsflexfit]

Its pretzel grip or its shit.

[El Chupacabra]

Guess we’re all in now



Ultimately it’s about who I wanna give money to. Jessup= not skate. Nhs is a bunch a beach jocks, not my scene. Pepper, hey Cardiel backs it.

[WavyDavy]

Is paradox grip tape still a thing? With holograms or some other wacky esoteric shit?
Wasn't there also something like oxymoron riser pads?

Black pepper has some interesting properties. Caryophellene is a terpene shared by it and some strains of weed that a lot of people find sedating or painkilling like gorilla glue and GMO have high levels of it so I could see it mellowing out a racy, overly stimulating strain that way. Piperidine is also really wild, you can make a bunch of crazy shit from it and there's something in there that affects how certain drugs are absorbed and transported across the blood brain barrier but its been a long time since I read up on it and I'm baked so I don't remember the specifics.

I'll give this stuff a shot if I see it at the shop. I always support cards and I like trying new shit.

Whoever asked about miles, it's good grip but the plastic razor is useless. Its surprisingly tough and has a nice, jessup-esque feel. Not too rough but still sticky. It also sparkles in the sun which is weird, only other grip I've had that did that was flypaper. It feels great to cut too, which is really the most important thing about grip.

How’s it feel what would you compare it too? I got a sheet coming and kinda curious cause it’s prob gonna be a bit before I need to grip a board

[lk130]

Ngl this grizzly didn't mess anything up

[Painted Baby]

I'm kinda into the 9.5 width. If you like to ride big bois and pops you often wind up with not quite enough. Extra half inch makes it so shops only have to order one product instead of two as well.

Just grabbed a 10 pk. of Pepper from Skate Warehouse. Was only 3.75 a sheet. Not bad.

So just as a little update, Skate Warehouse e-mailed me again and said I wasn't allowed to buy 10 sheets of grip. That was in fact TOO MUCH Pepper for one individual and I must be a reseller. So they forced me to lower the order to 2 sheets. wtf even skate warehouse is cops these days.

holy shit papa max is on the team?
