How to Finger Skateboard & Do Tricks

Fingerboards are a popular toy among young teens. As the name implies, a fingerboard is a miniature skateboard, designed to handle as much like a real skateboard as possible, right down to grip tape and miniature trucks. With proper practice a finger board can do nearly any trick a real skateboard can.

Instructions

How to Ollie
- 1
  Place your index finger across the center of the board and your middle finger on the tail of the board.
- 2
  Press down with your middle finger as you push forward, bringing the nose into the air.
- 3
  Slide your index finger forward as the nose comes up to level the board and lift the tail off the ground.
- 4
  Press down evenly with both fingers to land flat with the board.
How to Kickflip
- 5
  Position your fingers like you are ready to ollie, but slide your index finger back slightly so that it doesn't quite cross over the entire board.
- 6
  Press down on the tail of the board with your middle finger to raise the nose.
- 7
  Bend your wrist in toward your body as you slide your finger forward, causing the finger to slide off the board at an angle.
- 8
  Remove your hand slightly to give the board room to flip, and catch it with two fingers again as if landing an ollie.
