Hi Ramsey, if it's metal duct, it will be grounded when you use screws to attach it to your grounded dust collector.
Otherwise run a ground wire to to a water pipe or a grounded electrical box.
If you use plastic blast gates (I wouldn't recommend them, buy the nice aluminum ones) you need to screw a ground wire from one pipe to the other on the blast gate to continue your grounding.
I used aluminum flex to go to my jointer/planer because I was getting static shocks from the original plastic hose.
