Clear grip tape is REALLY good if the top of your deck has graphics on it.. or .. What I've done on a couple of decks I've put together- put stickers on the top of the deck and lay over it with clear grip tape.. the effect is cool with the stickers showing through the tape and the decals stay somewhat protected too.. The down side of clear grip is that if it gets street crud all on it - it is a pain to clean..
its easier to wear out your grip tape first slide your grip tape along a wall and it should Peel then get a hairdryer and heat up the peeling grip tape to release the glue then with a sharp knife carefully slide the knife under the grip tape while pressing a hair dying over it

Jessup grip tape is my favorite. It's good, and will not quit on you, until you quit on it. Try it out!
no it will not, only practice will. Grip tape causes your feet not to slide, if you don't have it your feet will not stay on the board. Grip tape is not a factor in your ollie.
