    I first started finger boarding the same year I first started skating, in 1997. Tech decks didn't exist yet and I first used some clear plastic finger board. I remember how excited I was when tech decks hit the stores, I think around 1998 or 1999. I got very good at it, but unfortunately when I stopped skating in 2006 I also stopped finger boarding as well. I recently decided to get a bit back into skateboarding at the age of 38, and naturally ordered some tech decks as well. Still waiting for them to arrive. It'll be interesting to see if I can still do everything I used to after a nearly 20-year hiatus.

    Been reshaping TechDecks for so long, it's the best cheap alternative to buying a pro setup if you're tight on budget. Plus, if you're upgrading your tape too, you can just use the TD tape to rehape the deck. Further saves you money (assuming you don't have sandpaper lying around at home). As for the wheels, if you can find any homies that has the performance series TD wheels, try buying it off them for cheap, or they might just give it to you. They don't have bearings, but they're a whole lot better than the cheaper TD wheels.

    I snagged a teck deck pro (not performance) for a little over $20 earlier in the month from amazon. I'm 99% sure the pricing was a mistake because it only lasted a couple hours at most and wasn't a lightning deal. My guess is that they meant to discount a performance board and accidentally did it to the pro listing instead. I know they're nothing special, but considering theyre $70 without a discount and $50 otherwise (the plan B one is pretty much always on sale for 48) I thought it was a steal.

    If you want to be even cheaper use graphite powder lubricant used on pinewood derby cars on any standard plastic wheel. It makes them roll as good as bearings…. The hot wheels, mod community has been doing this trick forever and it makes a dramatic difference on the rollability. One tube of graphite powder will literally do hundreds of tech decks lol. You simply work the powder into the wheel on the truck. You can watch hot wheels mod videos to get other tips to apply it like using ipa mixture. It is highly effective though on stock tech decks and hot wheels skate..

    This I done with all my tech decks…😅 But I don’t think that it’s worth to reshape the trucks at least if you didn’t have the right Powertools for that and even with it tools so long that it’s just not worth the time you spend on that… I do it meanwhile to 3 tech deck truck sets, 2 32mm an 1 29mm… So yeah it’s kind of fun for some people like me but in the end I wouldn’t recommend that cause the trucks are just not worth that kind of effort… Cheap but good single axis trucks cost just 5-15$ and to work on one pair of TD trucks costs at least 30min-1h, so for my taste it’s just not worth the time you spend… But if you are hard on budget, have already the tools for that and fun on handcrafting you can do this for sure but after I already done it 3 times i wouldn’t do it again and wouldn’t recommend that at all… Just imagine, you spend hours on reshaping the trucks and just after one session one of the axis comes loose like on any TD truck at some time, that would be very frustrating and so I would just recommend to buy a pair of trucks and just be happy…🙂

    Do whats comfortable dude. Just like skateboarding its all about what you are comfortable with and being an individual. Being that we are on the topic of skateboard for your fingers no one should be gatekeeping whats right and wrong its about having fun. If i had a third leg when i would skate best believe i would use it. Telling people to use 2 fingers on a fingerboard is like getting mad about seeing someone skating mongo. It doesnt effect your skating so who cares?

    First things first, just do what you want, it’s a hobby and not a math class…😉 But a very good Tipp you could use when you want to switch from 3 to 2 fingers, just use a shorter setup… Take a cheap tech deck and reshape it but not just the roundings, grind just a bit further and take away something between 2-6mm (overall, so just 1-3mm on each side) , then try it on a good known setup (trucks and wheels) and just see the difference… I think the 2 Finger style will then come from alone and when this helps you directly know what to do with your next setup…😉

    What?! They do with the pro and the performance series… But the decks are pretty poorly made, they didn’t even grind the edges down and the „kick“ is pretty questionable like the wood too… Tbh, the newer Plastik tech decks (with the rounded concave) are the best low budget solution at all, just reshape nose and tail and put on some foam tape, that’s already enough for the beginning… The rest can be upgraded too over time (10-15$ in trucks, 5$ in beta bushings, 7-55$ for wheels)… And the best on that, the deck is still Plastik so way better as wood when it’s gonna wet, next to a duck deck I still use reshaped tech decks as wet setups and those setups goes from 8€-70€ (lives in Germany) so from beginner to pro class…
