Revisiting Fingerboarding: An '80s Skater Tries Pro Fingerboards with Teak Tuning

Welcome back to the Nostalgic Neighborhood, where we dive into the realms of skateboarding past and present. Today's adventure? Fingerboarding!!!

As a skater who grew up riding in the '80s, fingerboards were little more than intriguing novelties. Fast forward a few decades, and here I am, diving headfirst into the modern world of pro fingerboarding, thanks to Teak Tuning.

In this video, I'll take you on a journey from the simplistic plastic boards of my youth to the intricate and highly functional setups of today. We'll explore the history of fingerboarding, from its DIY origins post-Powell Peralta's "Future Primitive" to the explosion of Tech Decks in the late '90s, and right into the current era of fingerboarding as a respected sport and hobby.

A huge shoutout and thanks to Teak Tuning for providing some of the gear for today's exploration. While not a sponsored video, I was drawn to Teak Tuning for their quality, affordability, and dedication to the fingerboarding community. Join me as I compare the old school with the new, try out some tricks, and maybe rediscover a part of my skateboarding soul in the process.
