    Wow this short vid was easy to follow no waste of time. My grip jobs have always turned out crappy. I think my mistake has been cutting from the top. I'm going to use this method the next time

    • @GeezerSkateCo

      That cut underneath thing makes so much sense and we were cutting from the top as well. The pros always make it look easy - even grip taping a board!

      Just cut mine from the top yesterday. Didn't come out looking as good as what this guy just did. Good point about bending the tape up along the edges after you file it. I figured that would be a good idea. I was going to cut it from underneath, but, it seemed to not be working that well, so, I cut it from the top instead. Went through two razor blades doing it that way. Dulled the edges of them down quickly.

    • @GeezerSkateCo
      @GeezerSkateCo  Рік тому +2

      No - the way I usually do it is to put on the grip tape first and then push the bolts from the bottom of the deck through the grip tape so it makes a hole that you can then put the bolts through the top. Hope that helps!

      Nice man - that's a great idea to use a blade with a handle. Nate from Geezer and I (Josh) are not great at this kind of stuff, so it was cool to have Nate from The Point Skate Shop on our channel to show us how they get the job done at their shop.

    Haha, that is the best way to do a tutorial video, to let someone else do it for you! :-P I will copy that move! :-P Really good instruction. I have gripped many many decks, but for some reason I have never used a razor blade, I almost always use a carpe knife. The razor blade is probably a better choice but I prefer to have a bit more to hold on to. I use both Jessup and Mob (not at the same time though lol) and they both grip fine, but for some reason Mob sometimes peel off easier. Both good grips tho. Thanks Geezers skate, and Nate! :-)
