The History of Fingerboard Videos

[@Weeto8166]

My fav fb vid was called ‘just a flat bar’ or something like that and the simplistic nature of the obstacle was just hidden by the rider

[@zack.fb_7734]

Every video from Sam aronie was my childhood, specially that one: berlinwood new mold review by mike schneider.

[@cdplaya]

Sam makes amazing videos, and his style is insane!

[@corzlyte]

Your videos are my childhood

[@cdplaya]

Oh and just watched your latest KZbin video and I can see some Sam in your style. That's a very good thing!

[@Toebex]

Taylor R’s Germany Tour 2012. I really don’t think there’s anything that captures the skill, friendship, adventure and fun that this hobby can bring to us. Great video Chris, you really are incredibly knowledgable about this.

[@cdplaya]

Epic video! I wish I would have gone on the same trip as him haha

[@vicious274]

That internet dial up tone had me laughing for real! Great vid Chris!

[@cdplaya]

Thank you Sid!

[@ddw7827]

My favorit video has to be: Elias Assmuth at the Harric's. Absolute masterpiece!

[@Sorable]

Adore this videos! Keep killin it

[@cdplaya]

Thank you - appreciate you taking the time to letting me know 😁

[@seanleeduncan]

My favourite fingerboard video is Fingers of Fury. I still have it on VHS but no VHS player! 😀

[@cdplaya]

Haha! I have the tape... but no VHS as well 😅😂

[@lordsesshomaru957]

Elias Assmuth at Night is my all time favourite video. i watched that thing 1000 times and still do it just touches on fingerboarding so much and shows the love and fun

[@ramas_ja]

dude, I've been looking for this exact video for years, remembering only few words from the song "dance me to the end of love" and a fade memory that it was the pinnacle of inspiration in these teenage days. Thank you a million, and my biggest respect to grandmaster cdplaya for making the history!

[@tcgene]

Ooooh my goodness!! I remember watching that kickflip over the planter thing at 10:01 so many times when it was on tech decks website!! My favorite fingerboard video is called “Enjoy” From Fb120. That one didn’t come out until I was already out of the scene in 2013, but somehow came across it through the KZbin rabbit hole.

[@cdplaya]

Yes!!! Shoji is amazing! I hope he films more edits in the future.

[@The_Joe00s]

Am Woob Dirge is one of my favs, my favorite video I was in was Flatface rendezvous 32, I'm the one with the orange button up shirt, jeans, and big hair! Another nice video from you!

[@cdplaya]

Thank you! I'll watch the Vous 32 vid shortly and keep an eye out for you!

[@The_Joe00s]

@@cdplaya alright! it's kind of easy to find me because there's only about three people with an orange shirt.

[@denverwalker9078]

Woob dirge is fantastic lol

[@The_Joe00s]

Ya it is! Those two half pipes are so cool.

[@mikeschneider]

This was amazing

[@cdplaya]

Thank you, Mike!!

[@Tableskater]

Hmmm I wonder what will happen in part 2 of this video... 🤔🤔

[@peoplecallmepeechez]

Was trying to find the German fingerboard commercial these past couple weeks. Glad it was mentioned here, thank you

[@fradjukay]

Fingers of Fury & Flying Fingers were big inspirations for us when they came out. I guess I'll have to finally watch Finger Freaks to complete "The Great 'FF' Trilogy of '99" lol

[@cdplaya]

Yes, those two videos completely shaped my fingerboarding! When Tech Deck first came out, my friends and I would tap the tail with our hand and then control the board to do tricks. Kinda like a karate cop 😂 we all changed our style after seeing how they fingerboarded!

[@noahmcloughlin7455]

My favorite fingerboards vid is an edit from chubymuffin where every trick is synchronised with the music

[@11matt]

Dimitrie Schlotthauer at the Harric's... and Elias Assmuth at the Harric's. It feels like watching skateboarding ! :D):

[@cdplaya]

Yes those videos are epic! Speaking of epic - so is your Opus series!

[@BigBookoo]

Not a full length but Eric Smith's Crime In Choir has been a video I frequent when I need some motivation even after all these years

[@WilliamAllanRibeiro]

This skat toy is very good, I already manipulated it, thank you very much for sharing.

[@GameboyGuitar]

My fave was a video that I believe was called "history of fingerboarding" or "story of fingerboarding"...something along the lines of that. The song in it was Mongoloid by Devo and the uploader had clips of his homemade decks in the early 90s up until Tech Decks came out in the late 90s/2000s.

[@cdplaya]

That video was by Denis Stimac! His KZbin channel is Skateboard Naked 😁

[@catethps]

favourite videos are any of Sasha Dotchevs desk edits from back in the day such good style

[@Bettydance985]

"2022 street part straps tv" is prolly the best video of displaying fingerboarding

[@reinieden2379]

My favorite fingerboard videos are The Outdoor Adventure and My Park in Action by Harold Schon (two of the first fingerboard videos I saw) and also that BIG Opus vid by Alexis Milant, and the one he did with Elias. There was another one i really liked don't remember what it was called but the song used in the video was Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear. Banger video as always.

[@cdplaya]

Those videos will be in my part 2! The Opus video is the one that I referred to that changed the fingerboard edit game :D

[@ddw7827]

The weeks by grizzly bear was in the Elias Assmuth at the Harric's video.

[@reinieden2379]

@DDw This is true. That is one of my favorite videos as well, but I'm thinking of a different video.

[@lamontrob9125]

Keep killing it

[@jap_fb]

Only fingerboard video I go back to over years is "enjoy" video by fb120. Such a beautiful part. I also do really like videos by Lionel Simon, dbld_fb, and handrew. By saying video, I mean a part longer than a minute with editing and music.

[@cdplaya]

Shoji is one of my fave fbers of all time. I wish he was more active!

[@red_insider]

my favourite fingerboard video is mike schnider team in christmas 2020

[@cdplaya]

That's a great video!

[@ichliebeholz]

My Fav Video is the King Of Berlin 23 - Bobinnwoods. Must have to Watch it again 😂

[@Sleeved_fb]

Absolutely love your videos. just popping back into the game and you my boy make 🔥 content.thank you for all the history and the present.

[@cdplaya]

Appreciate that! Welcome back ✌️😁

[@Breezy560]

Great video man

[@cdplaya]

Thank you!

[@thedorman3419]

my favorite video of fingerboarding is your board collection video or mike schniders 2011 berlinwood review

[@cdplaya]

Glad you liked the collection video!!

[@montana2806]

Opus 0 alexis milant is the video that got me into fingerboarding

[@VersionFB]

sick man love the channel

[@MotherFingerJones]

Does anybody remember a video form the early days that features the song Cars by Gary Newman? It one of my favorite videos ever and it’s impossible to find

[@cdplaya]

About what year if you recall?

[@MotherFingerJones]

@@cdplaya early aughts for sure no later than 2009 I think it’s was called ‘Cars’ too if I’m not mistaken

[@R3alWear]

Love the video❤️

[@cdplaya]

Thank you!!

[@thedorman3419]

lets go new video

[@cdplaya]

✌️☺️

Great content🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@AlexPerience34]

I think that old storm videos are the best! Too much steez per one video

[@AlexPerience34]

Does anyone know, where I can find wooden 26mm decks?

[@cdplaya]

Hmm, I'm not sure who makes 26/27mm anymore but I would love to cop one too haha

[@fradjukay]

My first comment disappeared somehow... but d'oh out of ukraine makes 24mm-60mm depending on concave style :-)

[@adamziotewicz2321]

​@@cdplaya MITT Fingerboards in Poland. They was making wooden fingerboards from the early 00', and saw them still available in 26-27mm on their site :). Still have one from that time in my collection tho!

[@shoeFB]

Im thinking about starting a fingerboard shop if i sent you a board would you test it out??

[@kryzboisdead]

kick flip
