Because I'm new here it won't let me post links to prevent botting...

They are at starfingerboarding dot com though.

They are all over the place on ebay and etsy and their boards look fairly decent... You can get a complete for 20$. I really don't have enough spare $$$ laying around for like a $100 Berlinwood and it's not like I'm going to be fingerboarding around other fingerboarders... It would definately be an improvement from a tech deck so I think I'm gonna get a complete and a 10" rail.

I have some tech deck ramps and stuff already, can I still use those?

Those are just one company of many that rebrand cheap Chinese products are their own. I haven't tried the decks. Pretty much everyone has China trucks somewhere and they're perfectly good. As for the wheels, they are smoother than TD wheels but I don't like the feel and sound of them and every other kind of bearing wheel are better. The tape is alright.

TD ramps are fine but when you use "fingerboards" rather than TDs, you will find the ramps' scale is slightly small.

I find the TD rail I have now (It's an S rail) is small even for the tech decks... I don't mind the stairs I have by them, they seem to be an alright size. That's why I'm gonna buy a 10" rail. I think the board will be a significant upgrade from what I've got now and from the sounds of it there is really no harm in getting it. I mean they are only 20$ and if it's really bad I could probably sell it to someone who is interested in trying one out (or trade it).

which do you prefer? backless or non backless wheels?
im planning to buy some wheels, so help me guys..

Backless wheels just aren't worth the extra money

why do you think this? reasoning?

Because wheels (in my experience) never actually wear out, and if they are starting to then just use washers
backless wheels, from sites like flatface are double the money, its so not worth it

I prefer backless wheels but it doesn't really matter if you use micro washers or even a pivot cup in the back.

I didn't actually realise these cost extra money.

I have some non backless No Cos from a trade and the backs are really worn out.

Board rails? I've seen a few vids with people using them!

I really want some are they hand made or can I buy some

so what backless wheels is the best??

Nocomply V6's, any others are a rip off lol

Do non-backless wheels need washers?

Make sure to get the sealed bearing ones though, I didn't, and basically most of my wheels' bearings exploded, so I'm kinda much using tech deck wheels.

No, unless your truck axles are really loose and rubbish

Well the point of backless wheels are so that the wheel does not scrape against the truck hanger. For non-backless wheels, you can put microwashers in the back (or pivot cups which is cheaper) and stop the abrasion between the wheel and truck. You aren't required to use them but depending on the wheel, it will stop the back of the wheel from wearing in or getting stuck on the hanger and not being able to roll very well until you pull it out.

Is there a special type of material used for a special type of mold? or is it just the same? I'm working on getting a new and improved mold for my decks like a Medium kicks Low concave mold, I've seen Bondo molds, they look crappy but I'm just wondering, whats the best material used to make molds? anyone know?

I've seen a whole lot of these Marble Benches... Where do I go to buy the Marble or Granite to make one of these and how much would it cost? I'd rather make one on my own than buy one...

Does anyone knows the remedy for rigid fingers while FB'ing? I am suffering from this for about a week now, does anyone experienced it before? It freaking annoys me when before I pop to do a specific tricks, my index finger won't move at all to flick the board. Does stress plays a big factor related to this problem? Help!

Stretch/pop your fingers before you sesh? Could also just be muscle memory not completely functional.
