Griptape Rainbow Ribbon End

For seasoned skateboarders, Jessup has no surprises. All I can offer you is a friendly reminder that this 60-foot roll can easily fit 21 decks (and if you're really careful not to cut off more than necessary, a whopping 22). The rest of this review is for people who are still getting the hang of it and aren't sure what brand of tape they need: The great thing about tape (unlike shoes and decks) is that you can reconsider. There are two kinds of tape in this world: good grip tape and bad grip tape. Good adhesion lasts longer than the plate it is applied to and is 100% reliable sheet to sheet. There is no such thing as a bad connection. There are 3 (large) band brands with good grip. Grizzly, Mob and Jessup. The brands are not identical, but they have one thing in common: they all work perfectly. There will always be people who will insist this brand is "much better", but rest assured, you can ignore these people. The simple fact is, when microscopic changes in grain size affect your handling that much, you have nothing to say to others about how it's done. The only criteria that really cause problems are the durability of the grit and the quality of the glue, which all three brands pass with flying colours. The only significant difference between these three products is price, and Jessup consistently wins in this category. To sum it up, if you don't know which tape to buy, Grizzly, MOB or Jessup are your best choices. If you decide that you really like the brand name of one of the products, more power to you, do not hesitate to buy this product. However, if all you want is the best traction at the lowest possible price, congratulations. You've found the edge of the rainbow.*I'm a licensed reseller with access to tax-free wholesale duct tape prices. Minus the shipping cost, it's only marginally cheaper than this product and doesn't include the reliability of Revain*.
