Fingerboard (skateboard)

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fingerboard

A fingerboard is a small version of a skateboard or snowboard that a person "rides" with their fingers instead of their feet. Fingerboarding is a hobby that many people enjoy doing.

A fingerboard is usually 96 millimeters (3.8 in) long with width ranging from 26 to 36 mm (1.0 to 1.4 in), with graphics, trucks and plastic ball-bearing wheels, like a skateboard.[1] A fingerboard can be used to do traditional skateboarding tricks, such as an ollie and kickflip.
