| Who was on board during the days of the Tech Deck forum? Im 23 now and just picked a fingerboard back up ( Fingerboarding saved my life ) I had to be younger than 14 at the time....
Man has this completely evolved.. I remember the days when we were bootlegging our own parts customizing trying to make the tech deck better. It evolved into making decks wheels I remember so many things that are now offical branded parts ! I want to say I remember Riptape when the dude that started it was just doing old skool snail mail ordering with pay pal !
Fingerboarding is just as fun as I remember.. if not even more fun.. Hell I even picked up my skateboard from 2007 and started hitting the actual skate park..
Just some food for though.
PHX AZ USA cheers. |

| Tech Deck forum was where I got my start! That place was so fun while I was on there, even though I had no idea what the fuck I was doing. FFI was a really big upgrade though once I finally got an account on there. _________________ https://www.youtube.com/user/Manhoagie http://honeycombfbs.bigcartel.com [21:11:45] @ JessM : fine i'll just take a nap on the megaramp - @Robert wrote:

| I remember when FFI came out and I remember that it was pretty "Exclusive" they wouldnt accept me because I was just your average joe I couldnt afford any of the badass stuff and my parents didnt want to support my habit lol..
I remember I finally copped a "morningwood" fingerboard it was dope!! |

| It was on the Tech Deck forums where it all got started for me around 8 years ago. After that I was on another fingerboard forum for years (I think it was called Fingerboard Collective but I can't remember.) Right before I quit I had finally got accepted into FFI, I come back years later and its completely dead. |
