Q: Will my Complete Fingerboard come assembled?

Q: What is a fingerboard?
- It is a tiny skateboard where the rider performs tricks with his/her index and middle finger acting as feet.
Q: Can I start at any age? What age do I have to be to Fingerboard?
- You can start at any age! Although, Fingerboards have very small parts, which are unsafe and easy to lose. Most fingerboards have 10+ or 12+ written on them, but we feel that at 6 you are old enough to Fingerboard. If you are under 9 we recommend an adult help you setup/fix or add new parts on to your Fingerboard! If you are smaller, a less wide deck(29mm) will be better, you will have more control over the board, thus making it easier to do tricks.
Q: Is Fingerboarding difficult? How can I get better/ learn further?
- Yes. Have you ever tried doing any kind of Action Sport(Skateboarding, Scootering, BMXing, surfing)? The tricks are hard and it takes the time to learn. In Fingerboarding. Tiny world = tiny physics. Things happen much quicker. It can develop hand-eye coordination, reflexes and swift muscle memory. It is a sport that is a fun challenge at any level, and you don't graze your whole body every time you fall!
- The best way to learn take a look at Tyler Rosenbauer tutorials (on Youtube channel Disney motion) and Follow other Fingerboarders on Instagram (and @Radical_Fingerboards on Instagram as well!)
Q: Is Fingerboarding for me?
- If you're on this website, you have been chosen to Fingerboard. Have ever imagined what it is like to skateboard or want to Skateboard even when you are off the board and you have 2 fingers, it is for you.
Q: I have a plastic board, is that just as good as wood?
- Plastic boards which are not Tech Deck are simply BAD. A Tech Deck is OK to get started, especially if you buy Riptape - Cut Classic as it comes with foam tape (1 uncut and 2 precut to Tech deck size) and improved bushings to make your Tech Deck the best it can be!
I have owned hundreds of Plastic decks they feel very cheap, snap easily and are only 26mm wide (tiny). But to answer the question. NO, they are not as good as professional Wooden Fingerboard (like the ones we sell). Wood is used in Skateboards because of its special characteristics. No synthetic material can capture the pop and flex of properly pressed wood. Radical Fingerboards offers high quality, performance, all-wood decks with a unique contour, kick and concave to give you the ultimate in response and beauty.
