Premium Black Magic griptape delivering superior grip and longer-lasting performance for every setup.
Black Magic didn't become one of skateboarding's most respected griptape brands by accident – they earned it through consistent quality that serious skaters recognize immediately. Their signature grip formula delivers that perfect balance between initial tackiness and long-term durability, maintaining its grip integrity long after lesser tapes have worn smooth. Richmond's variable terrain demands grip that performs everywhere – from the slick concrete at Brown's Island to the crusty DIY spots under the Manchester Bridge – and Black Magic delivers regardless of surface. Their standard black sheets feature the optimal grit density that gives you confidence for technical flip tricks without shredding your shoes unnecessarily fast. Beyond their classic offerings, we stock their specialized formulas including their weather-resistant series that maintains tackiness even during Virginia's notorious humidity and sudden downpours. What separates Black Magic from generic alternatives isn't just initial performance – it's their longevity, with sheets that resist peeling at the edges and maintain consistent grip across the entire board. Whether you're setting up a fresh complete or just replacing worn tape on your favorite deck, Black Magic's precision-cut sheets apply bubble-free and stay locked to your board through the harshest Richmond sessions. This isn't just another consumable – it's the critical interface between you and your board when everything's on the line.
