Finger board


The fingerskate or fingerboard is a miniature version of the skateboard. It is the same shape as a skateboard, but is only 96 millimeters long, and hence is simpler, composed of a board, grip-tape, two trucks, four wheels.


A wide variety of fingerboards exists. At one end of the spectrum, there are collectibles which usually do not have grip tape on the top side and are made almost solely of plastics. These are generally seen as unsuitable for serious fingerboarding, as the individual parts (bolts, axles, and so on) are not removable.

The other main class of fingerboard represents an original more faithful copy of a normal skateboard. These consist of mostly wood parts (though some include hard plastics), have grip-tape, and are in general very similar to full-size skateboards. It is possible to copy genuine skateboard tricks with the fingers and the use of these particular boards. These are also more durable, and are generally easier to use.

Fingerboarding as an institution is said to have begun in Germany with the advent of fingerboard championships. There are also a number of fingerboard professionals many of whom also endorse and manufacture their own products such as Martin Winkler.

Miniature fingerboard ramps and props also exist that bear a striking resemblance to genuine skateboard ramps. Fingerskating or fingerboarding can be done left or right handed. Like a skateboard, you can fingerboard switch or the opposite stance of which you fingerboard.

History

Fingerboards first started appearing in 1986 in keyring form, before people realized they could be used as toys. In the late '90s, Tech Deck Fingerboards was invented. They started an online community for people to talk to other people interested in the toy. Other subforums such as RZF, Blackriver-Ramps forum, Fingerboard.de and FFI were coming up. FFI, which has been through many changes over the years. Many big companies have come around, some being; FlatFace Fingerboards, Shortwood, Evolve, Arctic and Winkler Wheels and tuning. For a time it was easy to obtain a completely non Tech Deck fingerboard, however, many companies have begun to die out. Any high-tech wheel is lathe-made in order to guarantee high precision and therefore fast and smooth rolling. buttsecks!

Early fingerboarding

The birth of fingerboarding to the public was around 1985 when Transworld Skateboard Magazine gave birth to an article on how to make your own personal miniature skateboard at home. The deck was made out of 7 baseball cards that were cut, shaped and glued together like 7 plys of wood on a skateboard. A magazine picture was glued on the bottom to replicate your favorite graphics and real skateboard griptape was glued on top the board. Two pencil erasers were cut off a pencil and glued to the bottom to act as the trucks. A Hot Wheels car was then broken and the axle and wheels of the car were taken out and poked through the eraser creating an axle for the trucks and rolling wheels. This fingerboard was featured in 1985 Powell Peraltas "Future Primitive" video with Lance Mountain doing inverts and layback grinds in a double kitchen sink.

After wearing out or breaking many of these cardboard decks, some decided to make a board that was more durable. This board was made out of plastic that was cut and shaped. The tail and nose were bent up by heating the plastic up with a candle and slowly bending to the desired angle. Once the plastic cooled down it was a miniature replication a of a real skateboard deck. Two small square plastic pieces were then glued on with Super Glue to act as the trucks. These were better than the eraser trucks, because they would actually grind and not stick like the erasers. The wheels and axle from a Hot Wheels car were still used. This was the first fingerboard that people would actually learn real tricks on, and they made many of these for themselves and friends(from Tech Deck article)

Tech decks

A tech deck is a miniature skateboard, with which a skateboarder can complete various skateboarding tricks with his/her fingers. The index finger acting as the front foot and the middle finger acting as the back foot. There are three sizes of tech deck: a 57 mm mini, a 96mm fingerboard and a 27cm hand board.

Tech Deck Dudes are a line skateboard figures from Tech Deck first released in the early-mid 2000's. They started as just decorated fingers set up on skateboards, but improved over the years. They originally could only be attached to a skateboard that could not move independently, then later were able to be magnetically attached to boards with rolling wheels. Eventually dudes with arms were introduced, then bendy arms after that. Soon, several other toys were introduced such as blast boards and clash cubes and have reached much success. Many Tech Deck Dudes have corresponding Zoods, which are currently being released. It is known that there are 133 dudes, but there is a possibility of more.

Tricks

Most tricks that are possible on a skateboard are possible on a fingerboard. Many popular tricks include; Kickflips, Heelflips, Boardslides, 5-0's, Nollie Kick
