| My parents aren't as supporting when it comes to my fingerboarding so all they want to buy me is a Tech Deck Competition Series. I was wondering, are there any cheap ways at which I can improve my deck? Like smoother wheels, or home-made griptape, thanks very much if you reply! |

| Well you could just save up your own money, sell some stuff and buy a deck  |

| Or, You could get the money that you were going to buy the Tech deck from and save it until you get about $30 then you can get yourself a wooden tech deck! they have them on eBay |

| I don't think wooden TDs are even good for beginners, the kicks are just too low and small. My suggestion would probably be to scour sales and get used products. _________________ -Xi Main setup: Close Up G5 deck, Close Up tape, G4 black/grey trucks, Close Up bearing wheels My Skateboarding YouTube | My Fingerboarding YouTube | 'dontmongo' on FFI I am currently in China and cannot upload to YouTube.
