Fingerboarding has come a long way since the early days of DIY keychain fingerboards and Tech Decks. My brother recently introduced me to this new wave of artisanal fingerboard makers that handcraft miniature skateboards using the same materials and standards as actual full-size skateboards. Jack and I brought our fingerboards along on our current Australia tour, and we've been shredding in every city and greenroom to kill time and keep morale high. On previous tours we would bring skateboards and skate around at gas stations and rest stops to help break up the long drives, which would always make Dustin nervous that someone would get hurt and we would have to cancel shows. Needless to say, he couldn’t be happier with our switch to fingerboarding instead.
