Grip tape leads please !

hey guys,
New to the community, just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy some different grip tapes for the Carbon GT that are already cut to fit.

Cheers,
Jer

 

jer,

I don't know where you can buy "cut to fit" grip tape for the evolve or really any board. Having said that changing grip tape is pretty simple and cutting it is easy with a good pair of scissors. The current grip tape on my GT Carbon actually covers pretty much most of the top of the board. I did it this way because I spilled water on the top a few times in the past and it likes to seep in through the top unless you have it sealed with a gasket. You rarely need to access the battery or component unless something goes wrong and that hasn't been the case for me. I changed the tape when I replaced the battery. Now I can spill water without worry. You can get grip tape at any local skate shop or online. Put the grip tape on the ground or preferably something soft, put your board on top, trace a line to cut the tape. Dry fit the tape and cut any spots that need adjusting. The Carbon is somewhat concave so if you do a large piece you need to cut the corners so the tape won't bubble up and buckle. Some people like to create art work with grip tape but I use it just for the grip. That being said my tape is now a tie dye pattern so the hippie in me likes the look. Good luck and skate on!

 

Thank you very much for you reply, I appreciate it! Ya I kinda figured that there wasn’t going to be any cut to fits. So I think I’ll have to dig in and find the inner artist in me and do something funky! Maybe a good business idea to start cut to fit grip tapes for eBoards !
Cheers buddy,
