Tech Deck Mini Skateboard


Tech Deck is a toy maker that has made finger skateboards for many years now. The first time I saw them was around 10 years ago, and I just had to buy one. At that time they cost over $10 and were sold at EB Games. What appealed to me the most about this toy is how you’re able to customize your board. You can change the wheels, the bushings, loosen the screws and wheels, and you can add stickers as well. Recently I walked into Wal-Mart and saw them again, and I had to buy another one. However the price was better now at around $3.50 plus tax. The funny thing is other than just for appearance and collection-wise, I really have no use for the skateboard. On-line I’ve seen people do tricks with them but I honestly do not have the patience to learn even one, though a finger Ollie would be pretty cool to learn. The version I bought was from Finesse skateboards. I liked this version the most because it comes in a red colorway with a white graffiti tag. Included with the skateboard comes a sheet of stickers, 4 extra wheels, and one tool.
