Hi People, Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Tyler, i'm from Pensylvania in the USA and I recently got back into fingerboarding, I had tech decks when I was very young (I'm 27, probably to old to be doing this now but whatever). I picked up a cheap tech deck recently for shits and giggles and haven't been able to put it down, I take it everywhere with me which led to some internet investigation only to discover all the amazing things that are happening in the community as well as all the incredible products. I just ordered my first real board a Yellowood Man-O-War graphic and i'm hoping to snatch up some Blackriver trucks and winkler wheels for it real soon as well. I work as a touring musician in a pretty well known band so i'm hoping to be able to hone my fingerboarding skills with all the downtime I have on the road.

Welcome IMO you can never be too old to do something you love I'm 25 and i think Blosom is in his 30's so yeah theres a few of us oldies knocking around ! sorry Ross Your setup sounds Beast ! When i started getting into the online scene i was a little hesitant about the age thing, but then i started reading ppl's posts and to be honest age doesn't really enter any aspect of this scene it's just what you can do with your two fingers man !! lol You will have fun subscribing to all the great fingerboarders and people that promote fingerboarding, go check out www.unitefingerboarding.com if you haven't already it's a superb site.

first, your not too old to play with toy skateboards. im 32 and fingerboard often.
second, there is a thread for introducing yourself. what makes you so special you should have your own thread?.....
and leading onto the third point nicely, maybe you are royalties? 'well known band'? you know we are all intrigued now...
also where you from?
and welcome

By the way, I think it's more simple to search who a member is by having a presentation topic by member, ofc course it'll need it's own categorie.

Thanks everyone, sorry for not posting in the specified introduce yourself thread my mistake. Anyhow the band I work for is called Gym Class Heroes, I'd hardly consider myself royalty. We'll be touring the UK this coming September so maybe i'll get to meet some of you dudes and we can shred.

Thanks Blosom, also your decks look amazing. I'm hoping to be able to pick one up very soon or rather after i'm actually good enough to do it justice.
