A Fingerboard or Finger-Skateboard is a miniature version of a skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks. A fingerboard is 96 millimeters long or longer, and can have a variety of widths like 26mm (regular), 28mm (wide), and 29mm and up (extra wide). There is 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 the same as people do 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. 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 expensive 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.



Fingerboard Tip of the week: Want your non-bearing fingerboard wheels to have a lot more speed? Take some PAM Cooking Spray, hold the can an inch away from your board, and spray each wheel just a little bit, then roll your board on a towel, repeat process once more if nessisary.
