How to Revive Your Skateboard Grip Tape
You don't need to buy a new grip tape for your skateboard 'cause most of the time it just needs a proper cleaning!
Did you know that you can clean it with a inexpensive Sand Belt Cleaner?
Just 1 block will last for many years, and will save you a ton of money in the long run ;)
You can one at your local hardware store, or look it up online

They can come in different shapes and sizes.
Disassemble the Skateboard
For best results you need to disassemble your skateboard first.
Unscrew the 8 bolts to release the trucks, and notice all that dirt...
Cut a Pice From the Sand Belt Cleaner
Cut a piece from the Sand Belt Cleaner (I used a hand saw), about a size that you feel comfortable grabbing.
Give it a few circular scrubbing for testing and you'll immediately notice the difference!
Finished! (Good As New)
Keep scrubbing until you covered all surface, and then... enjoy your "old new" skate grip tape!
