Alright dude. best place to look for learning new tricks is youtube. you can try as many set ups til you find your preference. this is a great place to find out fingerboarding news and discuss anything about fingerboarding. look threw the search section before asking questions because most things you want to find out have already been posted.

I seriously recommend Lovedrug for decks, cheap and amazing, and made by one of the coolest dude on this forum, for wheels get sow, and trucks don't matter.

Welcome man! The best place to learn tricks are mainly from youtube. There are LOADS of tutorials that will help you. I would also recommend getting products from companies in the scrolling bar at the top.
Keep fingerboarding!

Matt I've been fingerboading for many years. I used to just use Techdecks too until I finally went online and saw all the various wooden deck companies.

So far I'm kind of in the phase where I'm still trying out all of the different companies decks just to see what I like and to find the company that is right for me.

As far as tricks go, you know its kind of funny I've read and watched tons of "how to" videos on doing tricks, but they never really have helped me. I honestly just figure out the tricks on my own and master them on my own. The main thing to fingerboarding in my opinion is practice and the want to push ones self to a higher level.

If you want to get good just fingerboard all day long and challenge yourself with new tricks. I used to have a stack of flashcards with trick names on them and I would just go down the stack of cards until I've completed all of the tricks.

That. Nothing feels better than the first time you land a kickflip board. Well, until, you land a heel blunt. Well, until you land a....it keeps going. But flip to grind is an awesome feeling happy

Practice, Practice, Practice. Are you a (possibly former) skateboarder as well? A lot of the tricks I learned came from knowing how to do them on a skateboard.

Start off with getting your ollie and flip tricks consistent. Make sure that if you're riding regular, you don't need to "pull back" to pop the trick. Most importantly, learn to catch your tricks. This will help immensely with flip tricks both in and out of grinds. It will also give you a nice style boost. You'll also want to get familiar with popping into all types of grinds. This will help later on when you're doing flip tricks into them.

Another thing I should mention is to learn how to do switch tricks. This is a problem with me at the moment, but I'm working on it.

I just started fingerboarding again as well and got my first 4cfb complete last month. Try out some new deck sizes. I prefer 32mm, but some people ride smaller sizes. Good luck!
