I know you fuckers are hiding among us. It's time to come clean.
What's your setup? and if you have a whole basement full of DIY parks, lets see em.
-
Been a long time, man
-
I got really good with tech decks as a kid. I had a friend that made a concrete bowl with mini pool coping. It was sick. I bought a fingerboard a few months back to see if I still had it and it was like riding a bike. My girlfriend promptly made fun of me and I haven’t touched it since. She didn’t think my kickflip front blunt on my hardcover book hubba was as cool as I did. I might just own it and do it anyway.
-
I rolled my index finger one time and haven’t really been fingerboarding since.
-
i could only do ollies and pressure flips on fingerboards but they were so satisfying
aren't there some fancy brands out there that offer a way better experience than tech decks? i thought i saw some fingerboard completes go for the same price as a real complete...
-
I used to cut out the decks from ads back in the 80's. 2 layers of cardboard, superglue the graphics on. leftover grip for the top. #2 pencil eraser for the baseplate. Break open a hot wheel for the axle-wheels. I'd roll a bit of masking tape around them and super glue them on. Built hella half pipes and would play with that shit until 3 am when I was 11 or 12. I did collect Tech Decks from like 99-03, but I sold them all when I moved. Regret that actually. I really liked the AWS, Habitat and old Flip ones a lot.
-
DK 0 shape, brr trucks, some winklers.
-
How do you rate those proper ones? I only have tech decks but I had a go of a wooden tech deck a while back, I really struggled with it
I think I’m just used to the narrower plastic ones
The black river ramps look dope I have a bunch of tech deck stuff lying around I got Hollywood high but it’s garbage it’s all out of proportion
There was a Rincon you could get but I never found it
Also the plastic ramps make such a horrid noise
Got that ditch too the one jerry darkslid but I think that came with a tech deck bmx bike or something
Usually just grab a couple books and that’s the ledge/manny pad
-
think i can still do a pressured 900flip to the other side of the room. and probably not take out an eye
-
Still Can’t do Straight heelflips >:(

Started when I tore my acl. I was 23 so way later than when most people usually start. It honestly helps me focus sometimes, I’ll be working inside a house and take a break and carve sink coping for a little bit.
My friends and I often get stuck in my kitchen getting wasted and tech decking. Happens about every time we hang out together
-
Can we have a slap game of skate type thing with brackets and shit that would be legit as
Could one of you tech savvy punters work out the logistics and tell me what app to download
-
just got a complete from dynamic fingerboards and it was $100
I am having a great time with it on very loose trucks
-
Shout out to slow motion slash grinds with pens and pencils

Ha! I did this with a friend of mine last time he was at my house and we created a whole setup for filming my tricks.

I got a mean blunt to fakie in my bathroom sink one time. Then I slipped out on some toothpaste.
-
I know I got a blackriver complete kicking around someplace at my storage unit.

I can. Nollie too. 8)
I got pretty damn good when I was in middle school. Build a sick park in my basement out of cardboard and other trash I found lying around. Sadly no photos.
Never tried any of those expensive boards. The newer techdecks are pretty solid though. Bigger shape and I think it's easier to control.
Whats everyones banger? I've always been a fan of 360 flip crook.

https://vimeo.com/236429010
lol so so many little inside jokes on that, props to whoever made that. theres probably stuff i didnt catch
"montie of joycult" was on point tho
-
ill post up my collection later, its notthing crazy
i find it hard to film fingerboarding idk but i also have never put much time into it. i feel like no one really cares to watch it
i can do a lot of stuff pretty mcuh anything i can think of i have found a way to do it.
i feel like theres sorta 2 ways to do stuff
theres pressure flip way , then theres like the "real" way
most of my stuff is pressure flip way i find it actually looks a lot better than janked pop stuff where the wrist is going way up. theres ways to make it look good tho.
i also dont like when people dont carry speed through their tricks
that video above actually made the fingerboarding look pretty dope lol especially with the sounds
-
I did the pressure flip way all through high school then started thinking about doing it properly, got the fakie flip first then all the kickies etc
Nollie heels are hard nollie bs heel easier I reckon
I find a lot of the tech stuff easier switch just like the natural motion of wrist if that makes sense?
Like front blunt, back tail, shit like that and variations are waaay easier switch
I done sw flip back tail flip fakie, but haven’t been able to do it normally
Edit - would that be to forwards then?
Tre crooks is good I prefer just kicky crooks but that’s just me
Easiest ‘hard trick’ maybe fakie inward sw front crooks fakie inward out. Same as to fakie manual you can pressure that one hella easy and if you fuck it up just go fakie tre out
-
for old times sakes i got a tech deck. some of them come with a tool plus stickers and some dont for whatever reason
-
I have an unsuccessful insta page...probably because I suck ...but it’s to much fun while being in my Home Office

-
That’s sick mate kitchen bench is what’s up
I posted some shit in the discord aaages ago, just fuck around with it when blazed or making dinner
-
Had a couple tech decks on my desk for years. Kind of just do whatever with them when watching tv or something. Weird thing is probably a dozen times I've been out somewhere and I find one in my pocket it's like some toy story shit.
-
I'll be 29 in a few weeks and I know I'll always have a tech deck in my desk drawer until I die. I wish I would have bought the famous spots sets they did awhile back, just because. Also the little stickers were always good for phones and notebooks.
-
Gifted hater was watching figerboarding videos last night on twitch, was actually kind of fun to watch
-
Not sure if anyone else does this, but I flip the remote control when I'm chillin on the couch. The grooves in the couch are ideal for tre flips. As for fingerboarding, I keep a tech deck around when I have phone calls to ease any nervous energy.
Also, a solid wooden cutting board is sick for manuals. Need something to do while the coffee brews.
-
back in the day people were just landing on half palms but now its so serious. no tictacs or anything. diy obstacles are cool
-
I do switch front 180's and kickflips at work all day
-
bw x wide low, ff g4s, 32mm td trucks, teak bushings. i had a used/stripped pair of br trucks but i sold them. i always wanted a fresh pair but they are pretty expensive. td trucks work alright but they took the life of one of my g4s so i only run 3 now and 1 td wheel :-\
i usually keep it around the bathroom sink or kitchen counters and pop a tre when i’m passing by. i can almost switch flip i’m getting close.

Does anyone wanna play skate on Skype or similar?
I never played skate on a tech deck with anyone decent before

I used to play over AIM with my friend all the time. We did two tries each trick and you just had to be honest. Mostly played "ledge" games with a vhs tape as the ledge.
Never played via video before. I'll let you know if I get some free time, I'm pretty fucking good.
-
basically landing rocketed kickflips on the back of my shins lmao. but i gotta go fakie a bit then reverse it suddenly to regs just before the takeoff. 3flips are the easiest. front tails kinda difficult. oh well
-
i thought i saw some fingerboard completes go for the same price as a real complete...
I thought this was a joke or exaggeration until I saw:
just got a complete from dynamic fingerboards and it was $100
I looked up Dynamic Fingerboards. I have to ask; why?
I've used both the newer Tech Decks and the Teak boards which aren't much more, and I can't imagine it being that different. I didn't notice any real difference with the bearings, but the actual urethane wheels were nicer than the plastic ones. The only really nicer thing is the kingpin doesn't stick down, but an emery board always fixed that for me.
-
100 bucks on a fingerboard lmao. shit better have a gold layer. urethane wheels are cool though
-

Yeah, if you look up Teak Tuning, they’ve got a complete for like $15, has urethane wheels, bearings, trucks that turn, a wood deck, and foam tape. If you buy it on Amazon and have prime it’s $15 all said and done.
-
there is no real way to justify the purchase, I was drinking and had disposable income at the time. although, I must say I have learned a couple real skateboarding tricks from it
-
I was unable to skate for like a year during lockdown and started messing around with this cheap, sub tech deck quality, fingerboard I got from secret Santa at work. It was fun, but the board was crap, so I bought a decent set up from https://www.thenorwoodproject.co.uk/completes (https://www.thenorwoodproject.co.uk/completes) for £19. Realised I could do back smiths, crooked grinds, fakie 5-0s n shit on a little ledge. While not being able to skate and being real bummed about it, this was a way to experience skateboarding from home on my desk
-
apparently he was inspired

-
I solemnly swear.
I just emailed the video to my self and dragged it onto imgur
-
This is stupid but I just got the GIPHY app and I made a gif how the fuck do I paste it here
Do I have to make a gif in GIPHY and then upload it on another website to host

upload photo (https://imgbb.com/)
Got it, yeah you explained it already I just didn’t get it
If it’s too sketch I will re do it was legit first try
If it looks weird it’s cause I did a fakie shove to get the board around right as I started recording
-
That counts. I think sets should alternate, you copy my trick and also set your own. Also have as many tries as we like
Who else is in
-
Fuck that it’s a game of skate it’s your set I am happy with that
Also happy to wait for others
Edit
I think just one go is legit otherwise we will see circus tricks
-
Ok I tried kickflip and bailed lol

Half a lifetime ago I was really into fingerboarding. I’m talking filming video parts, sponsors and all that shit. I guess I was technically pro? Mind you this was back when “expensive” board were $10 and trucks and wheel companies, let alone bearings didn’t exist yet.
For me it’s crazy like where it’s gone when boards are now the price of actual skateboards.
-
Just gonna send it
Sorry for the shit filming

Nice! Don't think I've ever done that one.
360 front tail was always impossible too. Don't think I've even landed it.
I'm gonna have to post up.

Easy line I did a while back. Sent it to my buddies so I could flex my new counter tops. Rails are left over cabinet handles.

360 front tail? Like bs 360 front tail?
-
He must mean tre flip like your nollie tre back rail
I can’t imagine a back three tail, wrist don’t work like that
-
Yeah, 360 flip front tail. Can't do it. 360 flip smith is almost too easy though.
-
Yeah, 360 flip front tail. Can't do it. 360 flip smith is almost too easy though.
Maybe the same reason my nollie tre back tail took so long...it’s difficult to only do a 270shove rotation with the Full flip rotation.
I did a lot of nollie tre suskis before I started to think of it more like a nollie varial flip with slightly more shove it rotation.
-
Have any of you ever tried to develop your non-dominant hand?
You’d be doing tricks in bizarro world

This is awesome
-
My kid just bought the Nyjah skatepark set, basically a big rail and hubba. It's really fun. Already did switch flip back tail and switch 360 flip crook on the hubba. I'll film some clips this week.
-
Nah don’t film tech deck bro just play with it let’s play skate after this lad
-
Uhh I tried to film some, fuck it’s frustrating
Full did it second go set up the phone and 5 mins of bullshit
I just took the last two tricks at the end before I gave up
I probably tried nollie tre crooks 200 times in that five minutes
Arms sore now

Damn, thats a tough one. You got nollie flip crook?
I think I have that same deck. Tom Penny Flip with the trucks that look chunked up?
-
Haha yes bro there’s a freshie one and a skated one they came in like a double pack
I just have all the old ones from years ago I haven’t bought a tech deck in years
Yeah can nollie flip crooks and kicky crooks, crooks kickie and switch etc
Done most shit I can think of sometimes it just takes a while lol
Do you guys do tricks that turn 180? It took me a minute to work it out but you can totally do frontside flips front bigs, front heel, sw backside flips, nollie fs flips etc and then into grind or manuals
Nollie 180 sw crooks is the best 180 spin one imo
It’s such a headfuck but mad when you get a good trick
What’s up with those fingerboards are they harder or easier than tech deck?
Interested, but not for same price as a setup
-
Fingerboard gang checking in. Never copped the preemie real nice ones but i still like to get it in on the good ol tech decks. its definitely something i do when im just chilling at home. always been better than my friends since way back so i take it not overly serious but i got rail and ledge setups that i keep in my ottoman that ill bust out occasionally.
-
We still playing or nah
Anyone wanna play skate on skype or something
Never had a dece game with anyone before backone
-
I tried to google but I couldn’t find any clips of one, has anyone seen back three kicky on tech deck before?
I did a shitty one with heaps of revert the other night, did a better one tonight but filmed it shit but you can see the landing I guess
https://streamable.com/q1l02i
https://streamable.com/bbtegp
Bigflip that way too
https://streamable.com/qsmd66
Do you reckon this technique is too weird? Like popping towards yourself?
Can’t think of any other way to get wrist to go 360
Used to smash tech deck been doing it a bit more than usual lately though
Tech deck is mad when you’re stoned
-
Can anyone recommend a tech deck forum I wanna try my shit against some full tech deck nerds
Christ knows you lot are no fun in this thread ahaha
https://youtu.be/QfTszFgNPZk
-
idk how else itd be done without turning the wrist. unless you did it down a drop and rotated the whole body lmao
-
