I was just asking what grips are best for mainly dirt jumping and a bit of street/park? Thanks

If you take your brake levers off more than once a decade you will probrebly want lock on grips.

Good lock ons include
ODI ruffian,
lizard skins peaty lock ons,
DMR locdd grips (I own personaly and feel better than any other when worn in),
Deity lock ons (any of them)
Superstar grips (cheap!)

If you never remove you brake levers or change bar then you can get standard grips that once wrestled on stay put. Here's some good'uns:
ODI longnecks,
DMR zip grips,
Spank tugg job (come in different scents D:!)
octane one flange grips (come in glow in the dark and are £3.99!)

have fun. I would order them from crc btw.

Martin Sodderstrom Signature lock on grips feel the best in my opinion

Wethepeople Dave Osaka Grips

These are soft and grippy but slim-feeling. Had em on my bmx for ages and they just get better and better.

My other favourites include the ODI longneck and Eclat Team grip

It is true that they look like an enormous dildo.

Normal grips are fine if you know how to deal with them.

Use hairspray (aerosol) to get them on. Spray it on the inside of the grips. It's slippery at first, but it dries sticky. Slide them on fast! It dries quick.

To remove them use spray silicon lubricant with one of the long red tubes. Lift the grip from the bar with a screwdriver and spray some lube in there to get the grips off. You can do this multiple times to a set of grips without damaging them.

ODI Longnecks will out-last most non-lock on grips.

for slip on grips, if you dont wanna use hairspray for whatever reason u can use zipties! just take a few zipties that are longer than the grip and put them through the grip then put a bit of the grip on the bar and the zipties will make it so u can easily slide the grip on and you can ride instantly!, you can just pull the zipties out with a wrench after the grip is on!
