How to Flip a Tech Deck Skateboard

Tech deck skateboards, also known as fingerboards, are 96 millimeter replicas of regular skateboards and can pull all of the same tricks. Tech deck's are maneuvered using your index and middle fingers to perform ollies, tailgrabs, flips and more.

Things You'll Need

• Tech deck skateboard
• Lighter (optional)
• Smooth surface

Instructions

1. Find a flat, smooth surface. Make sure your board has plenty of pop. If not, you can use a lighter to heat the back tail and bend it up slightly to get more pop in your tricks. Double check your trucks before getting started as well, making sure all of the nuts and bolts are as tight as possible for best performance.

2. Rest your index finger slightly towards the side facing you between the trucks and the logo of your tech deck. Rest your middle finger on the tail of your board, ready to pop into the flip.

3. Begin moving the skateboard along a flat surface and then pop the tail of your tech deck. This part of the trick will take plenty of practice. Experiment with pressure until you learn how much to apply to create a 360 degree flip while not sending your board flying across the room.

4. Catch the tech deck when it is in mid-air, landing your fingers in their original position by the time it returns to the surface. Once you have landed, keep the board moving forward.
