Guide to Applying Grip Tape to a Scooter
Maintain command of your stunt scooter by fitting a fresh sheet of grip tape. While you can complete this task solo, there are several crucial steps involved. Our scooter specialist, Mike, is here to assist you through the procedure:
- Begin by measuring your deck and the grip tape.
- Turn the grip tape over to mark your measurements.
- With a ruler and a sharp knife, cut the grip tape to size.
- Next, detach the brake, axle, and deck ends.
- Peel back the top section of the grip tape and position it on the deck.
- Ensure alignment is precise and commence adhering it to the deck.
- By using the protective paper, eliminate any air bubbles.
- Create two small incisions in the grip tape at the deck’s end.
- Then, trace the grip tape along the deck's edges.
- With a sharp knife, execute a precise cut along the deck's sides.
- Progress gently around to the rear of the deck.
- If necessary, attend to the sharp edges.
Your scooter is now fully gripped!
