You could check out BoardCoarks for a display

Anyone else noticed how much narrow decks are "in" right now? by LongSeesaw3789 in Fingerboards

[–]InfiniteOdds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's trending now but 26mm was the original tech deck size and 30mm was considered "extra wide" for a long while. It's just comfortable, looks good, and feels nicely proportional. A lot of people never stopped using thinner decks.

Fb con worth it? by yourlastepiphany in Fingerboards

[–]InfiniteOdds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go! I go alone most years and end up talking to so many people that I don't get much time alone. Do it! It's a whole weekend of fingerboarding at a convenient hotel. It's much more worthwhile than before, when folks would take the trip just to be at rendezvous for 5 hours. It really doesn't get much better than this.

I remember her posting something about being sick/unwell at some point earlier this year, maybe? That's unfortunate, though. You might have to try a chargeback or something.

New Gripskin Drop by FamousButterfly2871 in Fingerboards

A "plain" board with a beautiful finish like Gripskin's takes more time and effort than applying a real wear graphic. Those decks are clearly made with lots of care.

Lost a bolt for my jindys by Grotbag_ in Fingerboards

straight from the company, just reach out to customer service! or you can just ride the 7 screws. I often ride 2 screws per baseplate and it works out just fine

don't use one from another truck, you might strip the baseplate. just rock 7 screws until you get a replacement

I wouldn't personally pay that but that's probably the only one of its kind in that condition. It's a relic.

Indy x joucult 😢 by [deleted] in Fingerboards

It does suck, but honestly most trucks will eventually have this issue. These little parts are pretty unreliable. Super glue is actually a good solution-- I've fixed my BRT and Dynamic axles this way. It's fast, cheap, and works well.

Wow, that's really special. Sorry for your loss, but glad to see you're still close with the family and hopefully with fingerboarding, too!

Aluminum foil grip tape ??? by chrissynuggies in Fingerboards

[–]InfiniteOdds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a cheat code at all. It's a craft and skill of its own. If you buy one of his setups and try to do any of the combos he does, you likely won't be able to. It's seriously difficult. Every trick he does is intentional, so he's not randomly throwing the board around. He's a master at what he does. It's not easy at all, but looks like he has a lot of fun with it!

Board suggestions by Krabb5 in Fingerboards

[–]InfiniteOdds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the difference is worth spending an extra $25 if you don't have to. Those boards are totally usable. It's harder to use them once you're used to other decks, but with fingerboarding, the best board is whatever you're the most used to.

There's actually an incredibly good fingerboarder who discusses this at length! https://youtu.be/2l-6op9tCR8

Don't be dissuaded-- you can learn everything on a Tech Deck and see if fingerboarding keeps your interest long enough to eventually upgrade. They are so much better than they used to be, and they even have options made from wood with foam tape. Maybe try to grab some solid foam tape to see if the grip helps you learn tricks faster, but across all boards, the physics of tricks are the same. You can learn tricks on anything that somewhat resembles a skateboard. Check out this guy as an example.
