How I Got Into Fingerboarding

[@stickyartfb]

Flying fingers! the red picnic, blue bench, wooden halfpipe and kb toys! so much nostalgia :)

[@soundsbitter]

@@stickyartfb yeah man I had the whole set the half pipe the street box with the bank stair set with the two hand rails and the red and blue benches, the little single ones and the table. I was tech decked the hell out for sure lol I wasn’t playin no games

[@salty_fingerz]

[@kevincollins8620]

4:25 that object got some love at our lunch tables back in the late 90s

[@professorbakasura3295]

the Casper slide in your edit was so sick glad there's lore behind it 😂

[@NoahBishop-ox8yu]

Such a sick story! 😂🙌🛹

[@salty_fingerz]

@NoahBishop-ox8yu thanks much dude!!

[@Bananeurysm]

If you could convert that VHS to digital and upload it, a lot of us would be very appreciative. I remember getting that video and also being blown away by Matt’s skills. Also remember loaning that Birdhouse deck to a classmate and watching my math teacher taken it away and snap it with his fingers, lol. Good times.

I just recently started fingerboarding. I bought a Tech Deck 2024 Olympics 4 pack of boards, saw Spitboard completes on Amazon, so I bought 2 of those, which are a small step up from the Tech Deck boards and just today figured out kickflips. Now I'm working on making them smoother

[@markpargas333]

You got a IG? I want to see the progression.

[@ecksfactor]

@@markpargas333 I do but I haven't been documenting anything. I might just start though just ti have it out there

[@brielrivera2743]

Ahhh it feels so good when u own the stuff u use to have when younger 🤙🏼 I have the first tech deck I ever had from 2009 , I couldn’t imagine how dope it was way before 2009 , when tech deck use to give us cool stuff fr

[@chuco.z]

[@salty_fingerz]

@spideyshiz Man, you're too kind bro!! 🤙 thanks a lot for dropping in! (Skateboarding pun intended) 🤪

[@kevincollins8620]

I totally remember those Deca tech decks. Daewon was on the rise in that era. That wasnt too long after his Mullen vs era.

[@MesheFB]

Heck yeah man! Love the energy and vibes of the community! 👍🔥

[@salty_fingerz]

@TreyPerkins. me too man! The community is one of my favorite parts about fingerboarding!!

[@BlessedDeks]

[@Dontgetdipped]

That heel flip is crazy 😂

[@cbskatecrew5994]

The Nollie Front Lipslide at that age was so dope!

[@TrillMurray]

I got my first tech deck in 1999 at toys r us. I still have it somehow lol

[@salty_fingerz]

That's so sick!!! What skate brand is it?

[@TrillMurray]

@@salty_fingerz it’s a birdhouse. I think the skull hawk, the blue one

[@salty_fingerz]

@@TrillMurray that's a classic!!

[@soundsbitter]

@@TrillMurray that’s insane u have it still haha. I freaking went though like at least 50-100 of em

[@TrillMurray]

@@soundsbitter it’s even got alternating colored wheels cause the neighbor kid told me if you do that, it’ll always land on the wheels 😂 I have some old TD carrying cases too and it’s the only board that’s narrow enough to fit in it

[@Leejuan87]

Bbbrroooo I had this it was definitely peak fingerboard magic. 💪😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯

[@lambo485]

[@salty_fingerz]

@@lambo485 never gets old!!

[@2fingys_]

W vid

[@10flores10]

I remember using my note book as a spine for my fingerboard when I was little

[@soundsbitter]

I would cut and make stair sets out of cardboard and all kinds of shit . I would put skate grip on my tech decks idk why I never though about foam lol 🤷‍♂️ smh 🤦‍♂️

[@salty_fingerz]

@10flores10 that's classic! Yeah I would make ramps and stairs from my school books too! And cd cases!

[@Turlup1p1]

And before Tech Deck, a board made with a twisted phone card by heating with a lighter + lollipop stick trucks and beads as wheels and real grip of course

[@salty_fingerz]

Now that's old school! Hahaha I've heard of people even busting the wheels out of hot wheel cars and using that for homemade fingerboards!

[@raceface_m2579]

Can someone upload this video

[@VampireFootballClub]

Wonder what the modern equivalent of that VHS is

[@salty_fingerz]

In my opinion, you really can't find a modern day equivalent of this video! This was the first of its kind before fingerboarding became as popular as it is today! 🤙

[@eighty35]

how old is your camera

[@salty_fingerz]

@@eighty35 it's pretty damn old 😅🤙

[@sunnyrampsFB]

If you don't know, now you know!

[@soundsbitter]

Dude lol omg I had this video. Matt Johnson rippedddddd!!!!! Ha that video is the first time I seen fingerboarding too man. That’s crazy shout out @techdeck

[@salty_fingerz]

@soundsbitter such a legendary video dude! Those tricks still hold up till this day!

[@soundsbitter]

@@salty_fingerz for real man, he was doin switch back smiths and shit lol smh. Those ramps/quarter pipe and bank in the back ground when he did the pathetic “Heelflip” lol are fucking sick man. He made those and shit, his had some sick ass curved ledges in that video he was seshing that are pretty tall and he’s hitting them with the shitty little stock 1999 26-29mm techdeck 😆 he was snapping

[@salty_fingerz]

@@soundsbitter Absolutely insane!! There's no question he's a straight legend in fingerboarding
