I'm getting some grip for x-mas, but i was wondering when should I switch out my grip. I've had my deck for 2 almost 3 months

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. happy

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.
