Fingerboards are dangerous for me. I constantly find myself looking at cool decks and hardware, but can BARELY do anything cool with the board @GnarlyCharlie sent me.
I keep trying, but my hands are so bad.
Doesn’t stop me from constantly playing with my board, though!
Try doing an Ollie, but speed your fingers apart while popping. Or if that’s not working, do an Ollie and then move your wrist in the motion of turning a doorknob.
I started working on making some more last night. It will probably be a week before I have any completed. I was thinking $25 for a natural wood complete and $30 for one with a graphic. Keep in mind, the handmade decks are great quality, but the trucks, wheels, and grip tape are just good. My goal is to make something affordable for someone looking to get into fingerboarding. Simply put, don’t expect Blackriver trucks and Flatface wheels. They will definitely be able to perform any trick you throw at them, though! (And are much better than Teak Tuning and in the same price range)
I bought my stuff from Alibaba. It took purchasing from many different vendors before I found one I was happy with. FYI: even if they tell you the wheels are urethane with a soft durometer, they will always be hard plastic
Dude Guy wheels, some of the most popular wheels out there, are printed. He makes them out of recycled skateboard wheels too, but has an option for printed wheels as well. When he’s not making wheels I believe he’s an aerospace engineer, so I’d like to believe he knows what he’s doing.
