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.

Plus the grips are made from the same grip tape material used on larger skateboards giving you a better grip on your tech decks.

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.
