Answer 1

You can pop them with a razor blade, that is what I do, it still looks good too.

Answer 2

d**n

the guy in that put your grip on your deck..

sucks at it, he left air bubbles on it.

It doesn't mess you up or anything just looks weird and ugly..

take it back and ask them to regrip for you or you can smooth them out yourself.

Answer 3

on the griptape?

No its not a problem but it looks bad. Take it back and ask them to smooth it. It shouldnt cause any actual problems though.

Answer 4

The air bubbles are just a cosmetic problem.  If you got MOB or Independent grip, they have small holes so the air can escape.  Just push the air bubbles down.  If you got some other grip, then  put a sheet of heavy paper over the top of the bubbles and try to work them out to the edges of the board,  You can also stick the bubbles with a pin and press the air out.
