| there's a quick questions thread which would fit this question perfectly, but since it's already here oh well. switch your grip whenever the hell you feel like it. i personally switch it out when it gets holes in it. some grips last just a few days, while some can last weeks (depending on how much you fb, what tricks you do, what stances, how long your nails are, etc.) it's just a matter of personal preference and availability of grip for you.  |

| whenever you start getting holes in it or whenever you feel like it is losing grip.
i would say 2-3 months is worthy of a grip change but thats up to you boss! no need to change if the grip is still good! |

| You'll know. Your tape will be shredded and kind of gross looking. |

| Change it when you're no longer comfortable looking at that piece of shit you call grip. Some people have kept a single sheet of FBS for a whole year so really it's up to you. |
