The original, Jessup was the first to bring silicon carbide griptape to the skateboard industry. They've been making griptape since 1975, that's over 32 years of experience in making quality griptape. They've gripped over 25 million skateboard decks. This means they've easily gripped more boards than all other griptape companies combined. To date, we've made over 70 million feet of griptape, no one else even comes close.
