Introducing Griptape iOS

For the better part of a decade, skate videos have been quietly losing ground. Not all at once — just slowly, the way things erode. Full videos got replaced by team montages and Instagram clips. Classic parts got chopped into reels. The skaters putting everything into their footage started sending it to YouTube, where Google kept the money and handed back a check that didn't cover gas.

We've spent 18 months talking to these companies and skaters directly. The common thread across every conversation was the same: the people making the best skate content in the world had no real home for it, and no real way to get paid for it.

Griptape is built on a different premise: that a skater's part is worth something, and the person who filmed it, funded it, and put their body on the line for it should see that reflected in their bank account.

With Griptape on iOS, that's now in your pocket.

Stream the full catalog — Chocolate, FA, Primitive, and hundreds of individual parts — ad-free, wherever you are. Save parts. Follow skaters. Watch the stuff that shaped you and the stuff being made right now.

This is day one. The library will grow. The skaters earning from it will multiply. A year from now, this looks different — and the people who subscribed first will have been part of building that.

Subscriptions start at $10/month or $100/year. The lion's share of every subscription goes directly to the skaters on the platform.
