Hi guys. I'm new round these parts, and new to fingerboarding. I've been screwing around with techdecks since i was little, but have only recently tried to do something with the hobby. I'm tired of the Techdecks i have. And i want something better. Any Decks you guys recommend? I'm looking for something cheap. I'm interested in Berlinwoods, flatface, and homewoods. But i don't want to spend too much money. Is there anything cheaper that would be good for a beginner?

Anyway. I hope i made this post in the right place. I'm really interested in fingerboarding, and I hope i can do some cool stuff with it.

Wrong place. Here are some brands:
Temple
OG
Pure
Lovedrug
Zink
Secks decks
Thats all i could think of now. Theres lots more just look around.

Welcome to the forum dude! Not to be mean because it is great to see more people get involved with the hobby but there are a million threads like this. Always search before you ask! But welcome aboard

Thanks guys. Sorry, i should have searched~ XP

Has this been moved? Cause it seems like fingerboard discussion would be the place to post this question, if not the quick questions thread.
Also, how many of the decks you recommend have you tried? Do you actually know they are good?


Anyway. I have a Pure deck as one of my main setups, i love it.
Also just got a batch of Temple decks in for the store, they look flawless, can't say anything about performance since i haven't tried them, but the old one i have is perfect.

And yea, of course Lovedrug. Most awesome shape of a deck ever, just a shame that they are rarely in stock

he asked for brands. i've tried OG. thats it. i do have 2 temple coming in the mail. why do you have to criticize me on the brands i said. i would assume that if people buy them then they must like them.

My point is that people are often fast to recommend stuff they never even tried.

You have never tried one of my decks, how do you know they are not complete shit?

I have never owned a blossom but i would recommend them.
Product research and trending sales is more than enough concrete evidence to recommend a product to someone.

You guys need to chill out, be nice to each other! haha

I bet you have never owned a Lamborghini Mikkel but because of reputation and quality of materials used in production you pretty much infer that it is a nice product....

I would never recommend a product i haven't tried.

LOVEDRUG fingerboards (cheap, really poppy, good if you like deep concave, extremely high quality)

Homewood fingerboards ( more expensive, but also completely customizable, although i would wait a bit since he's making his new 2013 molds. Great pop, can get shape of your preference.)

Yellowood Fingerboards (very expensive, but my personal favourite, because it is so easy to use, it feels like cheating. Very high pop, really well made)

Feel free to message me about anything and everything related to fingerboarding.

Thats fine! All i'm saying is with enough insight and research on a brand/product you can pretty much gather if it is nice or not.

I would definitely recommend Lovedrugs, Zinks, Homewoods, and Blosoms!

All are amazing decks!

I've only tried the old mold from Temple, and those were good, but Ryan won't be using that mold anymore, as he's got a new mellow mold. (you're new so mellow most likely isn't your thing)

but for you, I would say get a Zink, or a Homewood M9. (they've got higher kicks and deeper concave.

Also, If you want, I can give you a deal on an OG deck, made by me. medium kicks medium concave, or medium high kicks, mellow concave. (first option would be more suitable for you)

Any questions, just ask!

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Welcome!
A deck I recommend would be a pure deck.

I've had a load of really good decks, some expensive, some cheap. My favourites are myt Blosom and my Zonawood. Love both, the Zonawood probably takes first because it's a little smoother around the dips. Also, dirt cheap

Blosoms are sooo awesome!

Welcome!
Everyones already suggested good, not to expensive brands so yeah have a look through them

And this is the right section as hes asking for recommendations on decks, which is fingerboard discussion.

Get a Homewood. Bet decks I've ever tried. Berlinwood's are gnar too.

Thanks for all the responses guys! I can use Tech Deck trucks with these decks right? I'm looking into a homewood currently.

Not sure where you are from, but regardless tech deck expert sk8s are really good for the money.

I'm from the UK and ordered a couple off amazon.com for about £30 including delivery. If you are going to get one, go for the soft wheels as they are really good wheels for the price you pay. Not sure what decks have the soft wheels, but just check the pictures and look for a cross in the soft wheels box. You also get a decent set of trucks with nice bushings and a wooden deck, so not bad for $14

Where did you get your expert from? Been looking for somewhere to get one

Regular Tech Deck trucks are 25mm and the standard with today is around 30mm.
That is why a lot of people use china trucks which are 29mm wide.

A lot of companies take custom orders though, so you should contact the owner and ask if he can make you a 26mm deck.
The scrolling logos right below the banner are clickable and you get to the companies website. They are all companies represented on here.

Amazon.com mate. Make sure to go to the .com amazon site though and not the UK one!

Welcome to FBHQ, you'll love it here, no doubt and if you don't you get your money back!

If you have a chance, pick up a blossom! Best decks around in my opinion!
