Skate One Premium Printing & Performance Tech
This isn't just a novelty art tape—Skate One manufactures this grip to withstand heavy street abuse and extreme flick friction:
-
High-Resolution Skate One Graphics: Utilizing advanced ink bonding methods, the iconic neon skull, snake, and lightning artwork is infused directly into the grit. This prevents the graphic from wearing thin, smudging, or clouding up from dirt and shoe rubber during heavy sessions.
-
Premium Silicon Carbide Grit: Engineered with a highly uniform, medium-coarse grit density. This provides the ultimate level of balanced traction—giving you an incredibly crisp shoe bite for high ollies and technical flip catches without prematurely shredding your skate shoes.
-
Weatherproof Bubble-Free Adhesive: Features a heavy-duty, weather-resistant pressure adhesive backing. It applies completely flat, resisting unsightly bubbling during installation and preventing edge peeling or lifting when exposed to cold temperatures or moisture.
-
Crisp, Clean Cutability: The specialized backing paper cuts effortlessly with a standard razor blade, allowing shop employees and home builders to achieve completely flush, professional edge lines without tearing.
