Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Bill Kaschner. We're here at Cream City Skatepark, here in wonderful Butler, Wisconsin. Today I'm going to teach you how to clean grip tape. Well, they make this great stuff called Grip Gum; alright. And in fact we get this stuff open here; let me show you. It comes with a nice stick-form like this and what you do is you take it and you do nice sponge strokes on your tape, like that and like so. It works great for getting dust off your board; the harder embedded mud, it's kind of tough to get off. So here in this situation we got a really dirty tape, really muddy tape; it'll be best probably just to go out and buy a new sheet. I mean it's, you know, between five and seven bucks at your local shop; you can find some there. But Grip Gum works really well to get the dust off your board. Just go all the way down your board like that and the dust just magically disappears. It works great. So go you can this here at Cream City Skatepark, called Grip Gum. I'm sure you'll find your skate shops around the world also carry it. My name is Bill Kaschner, thanks for watching."
