Hi,
hope you are all doing well!

Im a 33yrs young fella from Norway just recently picked up fingerboarding again after a looong brake. Must be since the Techdecks came along or something like that, I remember getting one and loosing it after a while some years ago.

I actually started making small fingerboards out of layers og cardboard glued together and with melty beads (you know the kind you iron togeter in kindergarden) for wheels in the mid/late eighties. They were great fun riding on cardboard ramps and stuff, but not really made for ollies and fliptricks. It was all about old scool grab tricks, handplants and shredding way back then.

Later came the nineties new era shape and I got a little more creative! So a couple of layers bent balsa wood was used for making of the deck. I remember making the trucks out of some kind of plastic and used matchbox tyres for wheels. This finaly made it possible to get the first real ollie on a fingerboard down and ollieing on to objects made the whole fingerboardthing come alive for me. I remember it was great fun and never a bored moment.

Too meny things to keep me buissy the later years kept my mind off fingerboarding for a while, but recently descovering what has become of the whole sceene and the world wide fingerboarding community blew my mind. All the progress of products and skills is totally insane! And this has had a deep influence on my wallet lately..lol! But it is all good and Im back to something that I truly love spending my spare time on doing..

Sorry for the big post, but I feel this tells you lot more then who I am and where I come from. Thank you all for being an inspiration to me and what you all do to keep the sceene alive and kicking!!

Welcome, I just registered today as well.

Hi everyone.

I'm 18yrs, starting fingerboard with some plastic deck you will have with candy in 2004. I'm on FFI, and FBFRANCE as Evil P. I come here because i heard some good things about this forum, and also it's depend of Kerry of Unite, I thought it' was a good idea to came over here, to share my love of fingerboard, tips and some, with you all !
I was sponsored by Dok and Ikone trucks, in France. But i just comeback to Fbing, with a first camera to do some footages. By the way, i'm a french guy, im sorry about my poor english. I will try to be comprehensive, don't hesitate if i do some mistakes.
I also love to make ramp and park, in wood and stone. I actually try a new material, i think it's a good one. You will see that during the week. I skate since 2005 too, play guitar on a seven string, and stopped school after exam (BAC in france) to work and to begin my way in the tattoo world. I draw some many tattoo for some guys, and my project is to be a tattooer.

I'm so stocked about this place !
See you here,

Mike.
