How to Sign Up for Tech Deck Competitions

Tech Decks are finger skateboards in which a person's forefinger acts as the front foot on the board and the middle finger as the back foot on the board. Tech Decks were invented by Steven Asher in 1998. Now there are more than 400 brands of Tech Decks, some sponsored by actual pro skateboarders. The boards are made with the same components as their real life counterparts. You can even design your own skate park and compete with others online.
