This video shows how to cut out griptape to reveal a sticker or graphic on a any deck.
You can do this to a street deck, longboard deck, Penny board, and scooter.
Steps for cutting out a sticker:
1. For a vertical line place the sticker face down and turned the right way (bottom of the graphic is toward the tail). Mark on the paper side of the grip tape where you'd like your line. Draw a line end to end.
2. Cut along the line. It does not need to be perfect because this line won't represent the line that goes thru the grip tape. We'll use the existing outside edges.
3. Take the small skinny piece, turn it around and line up the existing edges face to face. Then tape the 2 pieces together.
4. Place sticker face up on the deck where u like(don't stick). Measure the distance from bottom edge of the sticker to the tail of the deck. Add 1/2 inch (10mm) to that length. Use this new measurement and mark it on the paper side of the grip. You add 1/2 inch because the griptape is longer than the deck.
5. Place sticker face down in your spot, tape the ends down in a couple spots. Start tracing around sticker.
6. Does your sticker have a clear or colored boarder around the image? On the small skinny piece of grip tape move the sticker over toward the center the same distance as the boarder on the sticker and retrace. When u move the skinny piece over to create your line on the deck the boarder would be too big on the skinny side.
7. Cut out the grip tape along line you drew. Careful around corners.
8. Take off the paper backing of the sticker and stick it to the deck where you marked it. Avoid air bubbles or creases in the sticker by lying it down on the deck from one side to the other.
9. Take off the tape.
10. Tear off the paper backing on the grip tape about 1 inch around the cut out. It's easier to handle the grip tape to get it in place.
11. Place the grip tape over the deck around the sticker.
12. Peal off the paper backing on both sides and apply the griptape to the deck.
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for the skinny piece.
14. Score it, cut it, and roughen up the edges. Go over the line area a couple times to ensure it doesn't peal up.
For graphics on a deck or stickers that are not cut out and are shapes, like a rectangle, use a piece of see-through tissue paper to trace out. Stores that sell shoes would be happy to give you a piece.
1. Stick the sticker anywhere you like on the deck. For the rest of these steps I will refer to sticker as the graphic.
2. Cut a piece of tissue paper that will cover the graphic and then some, and then tape it down. Be sure to stretch out the paper as much as it can before it tears. It's OK if there are a ton of little wrinkles in the paper. So long as it's flat and won't move you're good.
3. Trace over the graphic. Use a ballpoint pen for this.
4. Take off the paper and fold over the tape onto the paper.
5. Measure the distance from the tail of the deck to the bottom edge of the graphic, and then add about 1/2 inch (10mm. Grip is longer.
6. Place the tissue paper face down turned the right way. The traced graphic should be in the right spot so when u cut it out it will line up perfectly on the deck. Tape it down.
7. Trace over the traced graphic on the tissue paper using a pen that will bleed or go through the tissue paper. This will mark the paper on the grip tape.
For a vertical line move the tissue paper over. See step 6 in beginning.
8. Peal back one side to see if thee are any spots that didn't show up.
9. Go over the lines with pen, kind of connecting the dots.
10. Tear off the paper backing on the grip tape about 1 inch around the cut out. This makes it easier to handle the grip tape as u get it in place over the graphic.
Follow steps 11-14 above since it does not allow (by youtube) enough room to add the rest.
Have fun getting creative with your own custom grip tape job! - Навчання та стиль
Years later these videos are still helpful.
Dude I used to think I knew alot about skateboarding on my own already but watching 3 of your videos already I've learned so much more.
Thank you. We do our best to make sure everyone can follow the instructions, so no one gets confused along the way.
Why you stopped making videos
?
We still don't know
AMAZING! I also love how "the graphic pops right off the griptape" in that Skate Mental logo :D
dude you make stuff so carefully its awesome xD
Just cut everything out. Everything in this video gives you all the info you need to do any custom grip job
i love these videos because they're soooo useful!!! and there's no annoying music to distract you while you watch.
We just grabbed the sticker at a local shop. It was the only sticker they had at the time that was going to work good for the video.
all of your videos are explained in detail so well, thanks for making all these
Thanks for the tip! I am going to use a circular revive sticker on my next revive deck. I think it will look really nice. Love your videos!
Revive ❤️❤️

hey,! for people who have trouble cutting the grip tape here's a tip: after selecting where your design is going to, cut little holes with a needle all around your design and then it's gonna be 100% easier to cut the grip without mistakes
Genius
Look at all these details! So smart!
thanks so much for making this, this is literally the fourth custom grip video i've watched in a row and the first to provide the info i wanted :p
The best griptape video I’ve ever seen!!! 💯🔥
When we made these videos we were concerned that the French would hate them. We are really happy to hear that at least one person from France likes them. LOL.
Thank you so much, I've been looking for something like this. I ordered a deck online that has a graphic I want everyone to see and I'm definitely going to use your advice. I liked, favorite it, and subscribed! Now when it gets here I might do a video on it and send it to you.
this guy looks like jessy pinkman...
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING

We picked up the Osiris sticker at a local skate shop. It was the best sticker they had to demonstrate with in this video.
If you have a local "core" shop, spend your money there. Those shops are the heart of the industry and are what made the brands they are today. You may save a few bucks at the mall but it's always best to support your local shop (if you have one). Places like Zumiez are the reason why real shops are having to close down. At a core shop you get knowledgable employees, better customer service, and your real money's worth. You can always take your board to a core shop and have them fix it up too
So sick! Definitely gonna use this on my next board

Great job on these

Thank you for the nice comment
Sweet video man! Real helpful and to the point.
Worked great
dude u went beast mode on that orasis gripping!!!!!
I never thought to do this; what you've done looks great. shows that skating involves creativity even when you're not on your board.
knowing me I'd probably do a child's job of it haha
I really like this, i'm glad i watched this video.
cool, I wish these were around when I was a kid, I would have loved to have a board like that. Now a days I run through boards so quick I'd be doing this every week
That was beast man !!!
thanks for the good tutorial, well done!
thanks! and thank you for responding so quickly!
good video! for even more fun/customization you can add more lines with or without spaces and even use different color griptape . with the basics you explained the skies the limit
I love you're website!
Thanks dude this totally helped me :)
Thank you so much for the kind comment. Makes doing these videos all worth it.
I'm definitely doing the second one from now on.
Worked for me!
Absolutely yes.
Great job!
You can. Just add small lines of grip between the red and white triangle pieces. They may come off over time. It really depends on how big you make the logo. If you do it small then you don't need black lines (made of grip) between each color. You can use paint markers and tape to make the logo on the deck. Then cut the logo out of the grip, just like we did for the skate mental logo.
your the best man!
@skateboardtech i just cleaned the surface and heated it up a little with a hair dryer and it work, thank you
This helped me so much! Thank you! You have a new sub.
love tactics. if i was in your city, i will be a fan of tactics.
Jesse we need to cook.
awsome ima have to do that now thanks
this dude is legit!
Great video!
That really does pop of the grip tape!!!
Great job, good videos... Thanks Master!!! Greetings from Chile!
WOOOOOOW that is great how to vid!
hey bro thanks this really helped me
Clever. I always just Winged my Top Deck Graphoc cutouts lol they always looked good but not Pro. Goingto try this on my kids new Blind Setup 🤟
You can't buy 4x5" sheets. To cover that area you'd need a 12" roll and cut four 5 foot long strips. But since it is a wood ramp, and we assume outside you may want to prime and paint the ramp to protect it. You can buy crushed walnut shells to add into the paint to add abrasion to the surface. This is very common for painted walk ways and stairs. Talk to your local paint supplier for tips.
Liked and subs'd because this is a great tutorial and the tape looks amazing. Good job man :D
DUDE ur beats at custom griptape jobs
Carbon paper works great!
At a local shop. We just grabbed a good sticker for this video.
dude you are epic. and VERY helpful.
love the skate mental one
The graphic board is sweet but both was awsome thanks for a great video i relly had use of it =D
Thanks dude, great vid. I'm gonna do this with my new creature deck.
i suck at cutting the grip out like after i outlined it hahah like you and others i've seen on here make it look so easy. maybe i'm not pushing hard enough on the blade or something, mine just looks really choppy lol
Yes. Any paper you can see through is fine.
i am going to try this on a mystery board i am getting. i hope it will turn out this good.
We are working on this video right now. There are a lot of videos of kids using windex. Kids do the darnedest things. There's natural rubber blocks u can get at a skate shop called Grip Gum($8), or u can get the same thing at a hardware store called belt sander cleaner ($6-7). Any art supply store should sell a piece of this same rubber as "rubber cement pick up" or "crepe rubber"($2). Use a very soft wire brush to loosen heavy dirt first (rubber won't get it off alone). Use rubber to wipe off.
defentily gonna try
You are amazing bro
Yes that video will be up this weekend.
Of course. Have fun.
i did it it is so cool
You guys must be having fun making you're own graphics.
I drew out the design and cut it out and it worked
best how to on youtube
You are a genious!!!!!!
THANKS
The line is just for looks. I did this in case anyone wanted a vertical line. A lot of longboards tend to have a long line.
Really great Job on the Osiris ... Looks like a nightmare for me hahah
¡Thanks dude, I already put a custom griptape to my skateboard!
your videos are helpfull! thanks
It might help to cut on a softer surface like carpet so the blade can go through the grip tape easier. What is shown in the video is the backside of a piece of carpet. The actual carpet side is better.
i own the same shirt as you! hell yeah subscribed
This is good ❤️❤️
That's something we could later for sure. Thanks
Thx that was super helpfull🔥
Thanks!
This is rad.
I remember a long time ago I used to have a board with the independent sticker around the area where the Osiris sticker on yours is at. Man I loved that board. Though being a youngster I didn't appreciate it too much, left it outside a lot, ruined it with rain. I wish I had a board so I could start skating again. Damn bills to pay keep me from getting it now. Awesome videos btw, subscribed :)
thats amazing
Very nice!
i love osiris man there amazing
So would we. We'll get into decks and decks with composites as soon as we can. Thanks
And when the world needed him the most he left
Ha awesome. Curious as to what made you want to.
Thanks so much
