I saw someone write that they thought that Cowply were fingerboardings Welcome Skateboards so I thought we could make a thread and try to name all fingerboard brands significant other in skateboard brands.

Cowply is Welcome Skateboards (write here why you think so maybe)

Flatface would be like Element because it's one of the first names you hear about in skateboarding/fingerboarding

FBHQ is skateboard city.

with the stupid shit people are arguing about this past year, id compare it more to slap

Black river is Santa Cruz since they're both the OG's of their industries. While there are many old school skate brands like Alva, World Industries, etc around today none have remained as relevant as Santa Cruz. The same applies to BRR

I'd say that about BW because they make boards not ramps.
I know BRR owns BW but I'm just being picky haha

I don't get the cowply one , unless welcome decks are a lot thicker than normal skateboards?


Brts would be indy's

Would be awesome to see krux in mini though!

I would think Brt's would relate more to Ace Trucks.

Brutal has the Heroin Skateboards vibe.

Brts to ace, brutal to Powell

it's more because of the style of the the people ridding them, all colorful grip and slappys

sorry for double post, and ytrucks are kinda like krux or grind king

Fingerboard magazine is Thrasher

Fingerboarder magazine is more like Transworld IMO.
Oak wheels seem like they'd be like Spitfire formula fours.
Brt's kinda look like indys to me.
PoP decks kinda remind me of 3D for some reason.

ytrucks is thunder, if it weren't for the triangle in ytrucks they'd look exactly the same

I feel like Homewood would be the Almost of fb'ing.
Reliable, perfect price for the quality, and the shape of the NM High just sticks to me as the Almost shape I'm using right now which is pretty hardcore for a skate deck.

What about Yellowood? I thought for about 15 minutes and I couldn't think of anything. :L

That's where you're wrong lol

Almost decks are techy as frick and they last incredibly long

Y trucks x4 > Krux Trucks. (Shape, style, color, etc)

Blackriver-Ramps > X- Games. (Biggest fingerboarding industry out there, throws tons of events each year, makes sick ramps, etc)

Y Wheels > Ricta Wheels (style)

Oak Wheels > Bones Wheels

Emanant is so baker!

Almost is dwindle wood, which is china wood, which is shit. Almost = blind = dark star = shit

I don't get it either. And no Welcome decks aren't thick :3

How are Cowply, Welcome? O.o Cowply don't even do shaped decks.   

And i think Crude would be Heroin, not a clue why.

Because it's a trendy thing.

BRTS - Independent Trucks
YTrucks - Thunder Trucks
Oaks - Bone Wheels
YWheels - Spitfire Wheels
BW Decks - Real Skateboards

broken knuckle fingerboards are like most walmarts boards, they introduce people into the hobby with their cheaper then professional products

Winklers would be bones in a way cause they both have different shapes and material hardness's
