Black Diamond Grip Roller
SKU: BD-ROLLER
Description
Use the Black Diamond Grip Roller to smooth out your grip and get a maximum bond to the board. The roller smooths out your grip for maximum bond and eliminates air bubbles, and saves the skin on your hands. It has a soft polyurethane handle, an alloy body that stands up to serious pressure, and real 55mm skateboard wheels, so if you blow out a bearing at the spot, you've got two spares built in.
Who the Black Diamond Grip Roller Is For
- Anyone gripping their own board
- Skaters who hate air bubbles
- Shop mechanics
- Anyone who likes a tool with a fun twist
Features
- Soft polyurethane handle
- Alloy body
- Two 55mm skateboard wheels with bearings
Benefits
- Maximum bond
- No bubbles
- Spare wheels and bearings in a pinch
How to Grip a Board
- Peel the backing from your griptape and apply it evenly to the top of your deck.
- Roll it down firmly to push out air bubbles and get a full bond.
- Run a file along the top edges of the deck to create an abrasive outline.
- Cut along that outline to trim off the excess griptape.
- Poke holes through the griptape for your mounting bolts, and pop any leftover bubbles.
