Tech Deck

Think of it as a miniature, highly detailed skateboard designed specifically for your fingers! They’re like scaled-down replicas of real skateboards, complete with trucks, wheels, grip tape, and awesome graphics.

It’s all about finger power! You typically place two fingers (usually your index and middle finger) on the board – one near the front and one near the tail. Then, you use your fingers to push, pop, and glide the board, trying to mimic real skateboarding tricks. It takes a little practice, but it’s super fun when you get the hang of it!

Pretty much anything a real skateboarder can do, just miniaturized! From simple ollies (making the board jump) and kickflips (making it spin in the air) to grinding rails, sliding ledges, and even more complex combos. The sky’s the limit for your fingerboarding creativity!

Most starter packs come with one fully assembled Tech Deck board. Sometimes, they include a tool to tighten the tiny nuts on the wheels, or even extra wheels and deck graphics for customization. Some sets also come with small obstacles like ramps or rails.

Absolutely! That’s one of the best parts! Tech Deck partners with real skateboard brands, so you’ll find boards featuring graphics from famous companies like Santa Cruz, Element, Toy Machine, and more. There are hundreds of different designs, so collecting them is a huge part of the fun for many fans. Plus, there are rare ones to find!

Nope! While kids absolutely love them, many teens and even adults enjoy Tech Decks too. They’re a great way to relieve stress, challenge your dexterity, or simply appreciate the miniature artistry. Plus, for former skateboarders, it’s a nostalgic way to revisit the sport without the scraped knees!

You bet! Tech Deck makes a variety of ramps, rails, ledges, and other obstacles that connect together to create your very own custom fingerboard skatepark. You can also use household items like books, pencils, or small boxes to make your own DIY obstacles.

Practice, practice, practice! Watch videos online (there are tons of Tech Deck tutorials on YouTube), experiment with your finger placement, and don’t be afraid to try new things. Start with the basics like pushing and rolling, then move on to ollies. Consistency is key!

The “Tech” likely refers to the technical skill involved in performing tricks, and how they mimic real skateboarding technology in miniature. “Deck” is, of course, the main part of a skateboard!
