    I’ve been doing this kind of fingerboarding since I was 12, I’m 24 now. It’s so heartwarming watching this hobby go from something bullied to people finally understanding what the hobby is really about and why it’s so amazing.

      Im from mindanao located in the Philippines, the first time I tried fingerboarding was on 2003 I was 13 years old, it was only for 40 pesos or 0.74 cents in $ since it was fake, and I liked so much and never stop thinking to continue fingerboard since then. But when it got broke, I had to stop fingerboarding since we cant afford to buy a new fingerboard even for a fake one (growing upnpoor) . I stopped since 2004 and got back at it again on 2013 since I received a gift for a $5 complete fingerboard set up I was already 23 years old and I was happy even though its not a premium brand. But that also it didn't last long since some parts of it was falling apart. I stopped again in the middle of the year 2013.
      I just got back in fingerboarding just this year 2023 just two weeks ago and now Im using a $18 complete fingerboard set up though its not a premium brand that I always wanted but still Im happy that I have returned again in fingerboarding. Now Im already 32 years old, and had a 9 months old baby.

    Fingerboarding expanded my imagination immensely as a child. I had a decent amount of the Tech Deck plastic ramps but the full on parks that I built were 60% homemade ramps. Using cardboard for frames/bases and layering over that with manilla folders to imitate masonite. Used a variety of materials to build things over the years, even built a little quarterpipe out of a brick and finishing cement. Fingerbikes were cool too, even used to build dirt jumps for those.

    I used tech decks as a kid, as well as skated through high school and a little in college. I love skateboarding but I would get hurt too much, and as an adult I can't afford to get hurt. I stumbled upon some tech decks not too long ago and fingerboard often now. Got really hooked and bought a wood one, then my DIY side came out and just started making some of my own. I feel so happy that my love of making things met my love of skateboarding in a weird way. My fingerboards aren't perfect, but they're fun and I love giving them to my friends who appreciate them. Plus I love doing tricks at my desk at work during zoom meetings!

    Late 70's? Fingerboards became the rage in the mid 80's. It startd as you said when we began making them from glued layers of cereal boxes. We would shape and griptape them.
    We would cut the eraser off pencils, and remove the axle and wheels from hotwheels cars. We would then insert the axle into the eraser, to make trucks, by making a small split in the end of the eraser and gluing the erasers to the deck.
    In the late 80's we began fabricating finger boards in shop class from plexiglass and other materials.
    It was around this time we began to see the mass produced keychain fingerboards appear.

    Haha damn. I used to play with a tech deck on my books in class. The teachers were not impressed. Also had a friend that would play games of skate with me. We would go round after round and would always go back and forth on wins. Damn. I have been pondering getting a new deck and possibley a fingerboard now. :)

    It’s just cool to me because I grew up with a genetic condition and as a kid I couldn’t even go outside because of the severity of my disease at the time, finger boards saved me as a kid from depression the same way my skateboard and bmx bike do now 🤙🏻

    I grew up with classic cars. Passed my test in one and had show cars for many years. I can't afford that now so I restore and customise 1/64 diecast models to fill the gap. It works well. I see fingerboarding with the same respect, and I couldn't do those tricks. Fill your time doing things you enjoy. Thats the point. 👍

    I use to use the wheels and axles from toy cars and for the deck, a piece of cardboard and piece of coke can to match. This was the 80’s.

    He used my grandmothers rubber thimble as skate shoes. It’s more than a toy, it’s a lifestyle.
