r/Fingerboards

I’ve been asked where to start on a number of my post and have sent this answer a few times and I figured I share. This advice this is MY advice and what I learnt from MY experience and where I think you should start if I had to do it all over again without wasting money. If you have other advice even if it’s completely opposite please share I’m here to help as many people as possible.

Some good brands I recommend (strictly for ease of use)
Flat face g16 decks are amazing first decks, anything with low concave high kicks is great for beginners (always check the mold)
Other brands I recommend would be “blcny” they have an amazing penthouse mold and the guy who owns it is a great dude and has always took care of me eventhough he has no idea who I am. He makes the decks on his Blcny in San Francisco and the quality is absolutely amazing.

Just remember if you’re going to buy a deck from flat face it doesn’t come with grip. If you need trucks I would go with leefais (search the name on amazon DO NOT BUY THEIR WHEELS) to start for professional trucks and get some teak tubing bushings they’re great. The stock tuning (bushings and pivot cups) on leefais suck. For wheels I would invest in super heavy and get some good flat face ones. I would go with a pair of G8s. Best beginner tape is UAG tape you can also get it from flat face. It’s overly grippy but super great for beginners to understand all your hand movements for tricks. And just remember to have fun and don’t get frustrated (the hardest part) 😂

Just a fun question LMAO. If you don’t have a girlfriend then what does your friends who don’t fb think? No one’s opinion should matter at the end of the day I just want to see what some people have to say and hear some funny stories of how some people’s girlfriend/ wives found out/ how you told them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Catfish FW 30mm,29mm jindy,stock bushings,Carmel wheels, and Black cat 2.0 always

I only have so long in the AM before work, and it often feels like my brain isn’t in control of my hands, but was happy with this tre to 5-0 varial out this morning

Made a new park, forgot to post it here.

Had to do it to em. Used tech deck truck for the perfect holes and 240 grit sandpaper to fluff up foam grip. Nail file for deck.

Seems kinda low, but a quick switch flip down it would be clean.

I like matching the colors of my wheels and bushings, but it’s been hard to find different colors in my country. Does anyone here use bushings made with a leather hole punch? Do they actually work?

Couple new ones from this week. Going to sand down the bottom edges, add some grip so it wont slide around, and start putting these up for sale soon on my instagram. If youre interested in seeing new updates/progress, new pieces, or wanting to buy one soon: check out my instagram!

At SCI-Arc in LA on Friday 6-9pm I’m showcasing a bunch of VR designed fingerboard obstacles for my architecture masters thesis showcase. Posted a while back and have since been working with 3Face who’s been advising and collaborating especially on this big long park we CNCd out of MDF. Others are either lasercut wood, concrete, or a mix of both. If you’re in LA arts district Friday come thru!

Just set this up!
