Mob M 80, if it's too Mob sand it down w/ some Mob to make it less Mob

I use shakejunt but have also had grizzly and they both great

Doesnt matter which one you buy. Just buy the cheapest one or the one you simply like.

Grizzly. Mob has eaten so many pairs of shoes.

I like mob

Ripetape slim and catchy, fbs extra smooth.

Blackcat 0.7 the best🔥 Goblin from Dungeon Crawl is also very good

Fbs.

Metric Foamula 1 🇨🇦

BlackCat grip is my absolute fav to use!!

Comes in .7 and 1mm thickness, and it’s 6 sheets for $10. It’s not too bad at all.

Feel super nice and worn in right away, really good grip to it as well and only gets better with time

Mob is pretty nice. It has long lasting grip. I’d say the grip is between jessup and grizzly as grizzly is quite rough as jessup is less rough

Mob, except I wish they weren’t an NHS brand. NHS is becoming a lamer distro every year.

MOB 100% for a 2 main reasons:

1. It is super grippy. In fact it is too grippy at first so I recommend getting grip gum or abrasion belt cleaner and just rubbing the block on the griptape just a bit to wear it down. Why this is a pro though is that the grip never goes bad. Other brands that start from a less grippy point eventually loose to much grip but MOB gets to a certain point and stays there for the most part.

2. It is perforated. MOB is the only griptape brand that perforates their grip for some reason. What that means is that there are little tiny holes in the griptape that let air through so you won't get any air bubbles when applying it like you would with other brand of grip.

Try black magic too, they are hella good

Generic griptape that comes on a roll (you can find it on any skateshop) is good for this because it grips you enough, but not so much that you can’t move your feet.

Another DIY solution is to take a good piece of the same griptape you have on and rub it as if you were sanding the griptape on the deck. I did this on a board that were too grippy, sanding a bit the area where my front foot goes and it was perfect. The center area was less grippy and the rails and tail were left intact so I always found grip to carve at speed or take corners fast.

Honestly this just sounds like you need practice. You shouldn't really be shuffling on the deck. You should be able to move your feet regardless of weight. But as someone who doesn't really like excess grip for tricks myself what I do with new grip is take the excess when I apply it and run it over the grip sanding it off just a little. It only need 2 or 3 passes to take the edge off. It's quite common for dancers and freestyle skaters to do this.

MOB is pretty gritty, for cruisers I prefer Jessup for exactly this reason.

I have an argyle pattern Mob Grip Tape on a Dinghy and I find it to be perfect. I have the normal Mob on a Fireball mini cruiser and it seems more coarse. Maybe try some graphic Mob if your skate shop has it. I’m personally not picky about grip but I’d say my 2 favorites are Mob and Jessup.

Any hard PTFE dot skates go with the reputable skates obsidian pro air

Pro airs or wallhack skates. Jade airs will wear out quick as they’re not hardened ptfe. Plastix feel like nails on a chalkboard, absolutely abysmal slates.

mob but grip really doesn't even matter it's all the same for the most part

If you've only been skating 5 days, you won't be able to tell the difference between different grip. It's mostly personal preference anyway. Grizzly, mob, jessup, shake junt, black magic, whatever will all work fine. Don't worry so much and just get whatever.

Mob. It is the way.

But in all seriousness if you like Grizzly or other graphic ones don’t sweat it.

Shake junt

Personally I love mob. Really grippy griptape is my favorite.

Dunno. I only skate jessup because it's the least grippy.

I really like Pepper. Right in between Mob and Jessup roughness and it's really durable. They also make Pepper XG (extra grip) which is MORE grippy than mob imo.

I have been skating it for a while, really grippy and at a good price point. Can’t complain.

EDIT:

Their Salt clear grip is really good also and works great for showing top graphics 🫡

Honestly think it doesn’t matter. Grip gets shredded so fast it just ends up being the same thing after a few sessions anyway. It’s just glorified sandpaper at the end of the day if you’re using any decent brand.

for me:

since first trying Pepper, it's gone on 3 of my last 4 boards. mob is great but destroys my shoes too fast.

jessup is great out-of-the-box, but, it seems to wear out before the deck does.

edit: also, after the one deck I recently gripped with Mob, i couldn't unlock my phone for like a week via fingerprint.

What are you doing that your hands are bleeding from griptape? This is not the first time I’m seeing someone complain about this and I just dont understand how anyone can manage that… anyway just get jessup.

Just take some leftover grip tape and sand down the mob a little or buy Jessup if you want a less grippy tape.

I’ve tried lots but prefer Jessup because I don’t like it too grippy.

I have been skating for 18 years and riding jessup for 16 of them. Pepper is another good one. IMO mob is too sharp and just unnecessarily destroys hands and shoes. Dont let anybody tell you its bad. Tons of amazing pros ride it. Also I skate everything from bowls to flat bars and manual pads and do plenty of flip tricks and spins and it works well for me on everything.

Free grip tape is the best grip tape

Jessup is fine. They're all fine for the most part really, and while some are grippier, some less, they're all perfectly skateable and from my experience they won't make much if any difference to your skating imo.

honestly grip tape is grip tape

Many pros ride it so there must be something to it. Plus it's just griptape in the end, if you go street skating it'll suck after a month anyways
