Common Misconceptions about Slip Tape-

Slip Tape will make the decks last too long, not true, we have tuned Slip Tape to wear out about the same time a deck would normally wear out (depending on the type of skating). Boards will still break and noses will still chip out, but the real idea is that the board will keep its crisp (not mushy) response and perform consistently for its entire life. This helps improve skating by removing a variable (declining deck response) and elevating the user's potential. Slip Tape is only intended for new decks and is not replaceable, you will need a new deck and a new sheet of Slip Tape when it wears out.

Slip Tape is too fast, not true, Slip Tape has been engineered to slide like a fresh painted wood deck on a perfectly waxed ledge consistently regardless of the temperature. Other technologies had huge variations in performance or were out of control fast... Slip Tape is new technology.

You can slide anything with Slip Tape, not entirely true, you can slide a rusted rail after a rain, but some surfaces will still need to be waxed. Slip Tape will improve slides and make them more consistent but it is not intended to make impossible to slide surfaces slide-able. If you can slide it without Slip Tape it will slide much better and more consistently with Slip Tape without having to reapply wax.

Slip Tape is too heavy, not true, at only 3.2oz for the full sheet, it adds nearly no weight to the board.

No one will pay $20 for Slip Tape, absolutely not true, more than 1000 skate shops are carrying Slip Tape with good sell through, thousands of skaters have bought Slip Tape and it is a growing trend. Most skaters that give it a try simply can not go back to skating a bare wood deck. Many shops have had success by offering an introductory price for Slip Tape which primes the area's interest and generates more sales and repeat sales. We tend to see sales mushroom in an area once a few skaters have Slip Tape in a local skate park.
