Best $75 trucks ever (for your fingerboard)
January 25th, 2010 by kilwag
That’s right. $75 professional quality replacement trucks for your fingerboard. My kids have handfulls of Tech Decks, and the axles on the trucks are always the first thing to break. I’ve switched out trucks and wheels for my kids so many times… but this is just a smidge too much. I suppose if you’re going to go ahead and spend $30 on replacement wheels, with bearings even, you’d want them to go on a quality truck. They even sell replacement parts for Black River trucks, like axles, bushings and kingpins. Of course, you’ll want to spend anywhere from $26 – $52 on a fingerboard deck. You could save money by picking up a complete for $28 to $60. These things seem to be a European manufacturing phenomenon, (France, Germany, Poland, three brands out of the Czech Republic!) but there are American brands included.

The verbiage on the box seems to insinuate that there is such thing as a “professional” fingerboarder?

I could only justify such a stupid fucking purchase in two scenarios.
One: My son is Stuart Little and after much practice on his Nash scooby-doo tech deck, he asks for a real complete on his birthday. Or,
Two:Simply to prank the shit out of a homie by finding a way to drill tiny holes in his board and switch those things out with his real trucks while he’s sleeping.
Could you imagine? Oh, I know me neither!

Hold on, a third scenario is that I live like Charlie Bucket from Willy Wonka, like family of 7 all living in like a 12×8 shed, and I’d come home with what appears to be a giant ham from the butcher to feed everyone, and I’d be all, I just spent the last of our copper on this and it should hold us over till papa finds work…and then they tear away at the ham to find these tiny trucks wrapped deep in a bundle of paper.
Haaaa! Psyc! THESE ARE FO’ MY NEW TECH DECK FOOLS! BETTA AXE SOMEBODY, MARK-ASS PUNKS!

FINGERSKATEBOARDING IS NOT SKATEBOARDING.

Can I get replacement bushings for these in different hardnesses? I’m considering turning pro in fingerboard downhill. Kind of a niche within a niche…

My kids are constantly having the trucks fall off the tech decks. You can’t even buy those damn little bushings. Does anybody know where you can get them. I need about a dime bag size bag full of them.

So where can I get good dropthroughs for my long fingerboard? We’ve been doing slalom races on the slide at my local YMCA swimming pool…

Fingerboarding should be every skater hobbie… you can do all the skate tricks with your fingers while you are setting on your butt :D it helps you to understand how some tricks work and it is a good exercise for any open minded skater ;)

Did anybody understand that Euro-dude’s post?
Anyway, here’s the deal: That shit is ridiculous. If they were $0.75, I could see hooking my kid up, but I just showed him this post, and he asked me if we can go across the street to the schoolyard and “ride our real big-guy skateboards.”
So, that’s were I’m going. He’s 4, and thinks this shit is lame.

Is finger boarding a sport or is it an expression of art?
Will it become an olympic event?
January 26th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
$4.20 for a replacement fingerboard kingpin. Completes cost the same as a real board. Not sure what planet this is, but where do I sign up to start my own fingerboard company?

Nice, while my left shoulder recovers from an actual skateboarding injury I can work on getting on the team(!!!).
