What skaters said on Reddit
Quick tutorial on how to grip a board: [VIDEO] That's the basic idea anyway. Additional tips, not mentioned in the quick tutorial: - sanding the topside of the deck beforehand will make the grip stick to the board better. - apply the grip starting from the middle out to avoid bubbles and creases. - after putting the grip on, put the back paper on top and rub out any air under the grip, also to avoid smaller bubbles.
Line it up over the board and start applying it in the middle, and press it down as you work each hand in opposite directions. Video [VIDEO] (note there are cuts so it's sped up, spend a bit more time pressing the grip down firm).
