| Hey everyone!
I am Dillon, I am new to the forums.
Back in about 2008 I used to fingerboard a lot, in fact , I flew all the way from california to andover to go to the flatface rendezvous. (In 2008 I think maybe it was the 2009 rendezvous, what ever)
Anyways in about 2010 or late 2009 I quit fingerboarding and sold everything I had. The thing is, a few weeks ago I found a fingerboard video on youtube and it made me want to fingerboard again , lol, so... Im thinking of getting back into fingerboarding.
What are some decks, trucks, wheels , tape etc. do you recommend I buy? I don't want to spend to much money as I don't know how much longer I will be fingerboarding but I still want a good setup
Thanks! Dillon |

| right now i currently ride a nocomply 32mm not sure the name but todd ar nocomply sells em, they are pretty cheap for a blank deck and the kicks are medium to high with medium concave.. and for wheels i would get some flatface g6 or g4 i personally would get g4 because i like the shape more.. and tape try foamy j2 it comes with nocompy decks. and just get td wides your lookong at maybe 80 bucks? maybe less but its all prefrence look into a few decks and see what you like |

| I've looked into no comply, when I was finerboarding back in the 2008-2009 times I remember they had these awesome wheels , they were like packaged in candy wrappers? Does anyone remember what they were called? It seems that No Complys website has been acting up lately so I havn't been able to check out what they have to offer atm.
Thanks for the reply though! |

| Oh I'm in San Diego aaha, But I'd definitely recommend a Scott B deck, Temple decks, Pure Decks, and OG decks. All extravagant decks while still being affordable! as for wheels, maybe some FF wheels. |

I'd recommend a Pure deck and maybe some No Comply other stuff. |

| Oh my uhm I can remember some of the decks
I rode some flatfaces, a finga deck, a low pro, a prete metal deck, some berlinwoods, a yellowood, a evolve deck, a holywood... and some other stuff I can't really remember, needless to say, I had a lot of fingerboards, to many actually. I never really had a favorite deck... I just rode what ever I had with me at that time.
lol I will look into the Pure decks but no complys store is pretty buggy , in fact, I can't even get on.
[b] Most of the time I like decks with pretty high kicks and some nice medium/deep concave. So if you know of any decks that are like that, you can also recommend those. |
