To put grip tape on a board you must first take the tape off of the plastic/wrapper. Then you put it on your board try not to get any air bumps. Then cut off the extra tape on the sides with a knife or maybe scissors. take some of the extra grip tape and file down the edges. Then take your screws for the trucks and push them through the holes. After that just attach the trucks, wheels, bearings, risers, and hardware and you're good to thrash.

Grip tape is a vital thing for your scooter especially if you are looking to do tricks and stunts on it because it will increase the friction between your foot and the deck. With no grip tape you are likely to fall off the deck due to lack of friction.
