To take mob grip off your skateboard deck? and is it worth buying?

Question

i was jus wondering because supposedly its not supposed to peel off when heat or cold is applyed to it. so if i do buy it for my deck and it come to the time where i want to take it off if i take a blow dryer and try and take it off it will probaly stick even more. and i also wanted to know if it's worth buyin becuase i've read reviews and alot of people say it sucks *** and some others say that it has grip but it has so much grip that u can hardly slide your feet for flip tricks and it hurt your finger when u hold the board. and im about to start learning how to skate so i just need to know these things. if u dont like mob say wat grip u think is the best and why. ooo and my setup will be:

manik skate deck

tensor lo magnesium slider trucks

alien work shop microlite aircore 2 wheels

bones red bearings

bones speed cream and bearing cleaner

? grip (yall help me out with this one)

Answer 1

Mob is really good, but I prefer Jessup and FKD but FKD is my favorite. It has grip grapics which is cool. Just saying, I prefer Ricta, Spitfire, and Hubba wheels. And I prefer Indy's, Thunder's, Venture's, and Krux as trucks. Tensors have bad kingpin. I'm just trying to point out for you.

Answer 2

been using mob grip tape for a few years now and never had problems taking it off with heat, it does have a lot of grip and will tear the heck out of your shoes pretty easily, if that's something you're worried about then go with jessup or iron horse, they don't have as much grip but last just as long and hold up great to all skating styles.

Answer 3

umm i dont know how good it is. but a couple days ago i took off my grip tape. its pretty easy. start at the tail cuz usually its more ripped up there. take a blow dryer and use it on just the tail. slowly peel off the grip tape make sure it all comes off in one piece. also take ur trucks off so u can get around the bolts. once u have the tail peeled off start blow drying the rest of the board and slowly pull of the grips tape. be careful around the holes for the bolts and the edges.
