My Skateboard and Fingerboard of my Nephews - This is a picture of my skateboard, it's a birdhouse deck, size 7.5 with Tensor Slider Mid Trucks, 52mm Zero Chris Cole Wheels, and Redz Bearings. The small one next to a lighter is a TechDeck, Paul Rodriguez. A fingerboard is a working replica of a skateboard that a person 'rides' by replicating skateboarding maneuvers with their hand. It can also be referred to as a finger skate board or even a Tech Deck. The device itself is a scaled-down skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks.[1] A fingerboard is 96 millimeters long or longer, and can have a variety of widths like 29/30mm (regular), and 32mm (wide). There are the 57mm minis and the 96mm regular and the cruiser boards. Skateboarding tricks may be performed using fingers instead of feet. Most tricks done on a fingerboard are inspired by tricks done on skateboards. Lance Mountain helped develop fingerboarding as a hobby in the late 1970s and wrote an article on how to make fingerboards in TransWorld's SKATEboarding magazine in 1985. Zoman Kozbaals, known as Larked Z, is widely recognized as one of the sport's leading innovators. Although fingerboarding was a novelty for years, they became a collectible toy as skateboard manufacturers realized the potential for product branding and profit starting in the 1990s. Fingerboards are now available as inexpensive novelty toys as well as high-end collectibles, complete with accessories one would find in use with standard-size skateboards. Fingerboards are also used by skateboarders as 3-D model visual aids to understand potential tricks and maneuvers; many users make videos to document their efforts. Similar to fingerboarding, handboarding is a scaled-down version of a skateboard that a user controls with their hands instead of just fingers, while finger snowboarding utilizes a miniature version of a snowboard.
