How to Make a Finger Skate Park

A finger board is a miniaturized skateboard that is designed to be used with your fingers. You can perform flip tricks and grinds with a finger board, much like with a regular skateboard. The variety of tricks you can perform depends on the terrain; therefore, building a miniature skate park, complete with rails, quarter-pipes, half-pipes and other structures, can add to your enjoyment.

Things You'll Need

  • Large, flat piece of cardboard
  • Empty boxes of various sizes
  • Glue
  • Straws or pencils
  • Paint
  • Stickers

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose what structures you would like to have in your finger skate park. Some examples include stairs with rails, quarter-pipes, half-pipes, boxes and banked ramps.

    • 2

      Create the structures. For example, create a half-pipe by bending a small, flat piece of cardboard and gluing it to a similarly sized cardboard box. You can add a variety of pieces to your skate park -- it is up to your imagination which to include and the best way to construct them.

    • 3

      Paint the large, flat cardboard box gray. This is the floor of the skate park, and painting it simulates concrete, giving it a more realistic feel.

    • 4

      Glue the structures on the flat cardboard in the arrangement you would like them to be in. For example, you may want to have a quarter pipe lead into a rail so you can have fluid transitions when performing tricks between the two structures.

    • 5

      Add transitions to the bottoms of the ramps, quarter-pipes and half-pipes by gluing thin pieces of cardboard to the bottoms of these structures. This allows the fingerboard to make smooth transitions form the flat areas to the vertical areas.

    • 6

      Use the straws or pencils to add coping to the quarter-pipes and half-pipes, or add them as rails throughout the skate park.

    • 7

      Paint the structures or add stickers to liven up the skate park -- or disguise any unseemly logos on the cardboard boxes. You can also paint rivets onto the structures to give the skate park a more realistic look.
