Finger Skateboards

A Fingerboard is a Pocket-Sized Skateboard

Fingerboards are small-scale skateboards crafted from wood or plastic, with the wooden variants being more favoured. Much like standard skateboards, fingerboards are equipped with a full set of parts that include grip tape, hardware, two trucks, and four wheels. Typically, finger skateboards measure about 100 mm in length and roughly 30 mm in width, making them conveniently portable in your pocket.

Certain fingerboards come fully assembled and are ready for use immediately for executing tricks. However, for those who enjoy technical assembly, there are full sets available that require putting together.

Fingerboard Ramps and Rails for a Miniature Skatepark

Constructing an indoor skatepark has been made simpler with the use of fingerboard rails and ramps. These miniature structures perfectly complement your mini skateboards, replicating the forms and features of full-sized skatepark obstacles.

Available in pocket-size are stair sets, iron rails, and quarter pipes, allowing you to carry them anywhere in your bag. Acquiring a variety of ramps and rails not only enhances the enjoyment of fingerboarding but also helps to improve your skills.

The History of Finger Skateboards

The initial production of fingerboards occurred in the 1970s, primarily serving as keyrings for professional skaters. Their prominence within the skateboarding realm increased when a homemade fingerboard appeared in the skate video “Future Primitive” in 1985. By the late 1990s, finger skateboards began gaining broader appeal and acknowledgment outside the skateboarding sector.

As time has passed, the quality of fingerboard decks and various parts has improved significantly. People now recognise that fingerboards are not just decorative; they are also highly enjoyable and excellent for replicating authentic skateboard tricks.
