- We've always been curious about fingerboarding and its rep as skateboarding's weird cousin, so when we heard about a concrete DIY fingerboard park hiding in Brooklyn, we had to go find it.

So sick!! Thanks for the shoutout ❤ that spot looks awesome!
It really cant be overstated how important Mike has been to the North American scene.
fr tho mike is a whole ass w @@Hartwell10
Love you Mikey poo 🥰
Thank you for all that you do Mike! Huge inspiration to modern fingerboarding.
you the Tony Hawk of Fingerboarding
Jenkem continues to have the best insights into the culture of skateboarding, please never stop! Kudos to those dudes for making the scene happen
Jenkem never miss🍻
FYI We’re having an event (Awesomefest 2) at the diy this coming Saturday Sept 16th if anyone wants to come! Contest signups start at 1pm. Music afterwards at Trans Pecos 7pm. -Guy from the video with the brown t shirt
woohooooo
I won't
LFG that's sick
I love u jaren
Where is the park exactly
Fingerboarding really is something everyone does but doesnt talk about
Fr bro, there are some big youtubers and celebrities who fuck with fingerboarding
Very similar to masturbation.
@@RufusdosAnd both will leave you sticky and deflated.
Because actually going out n skating is wayyy better than using your hand to get the thrill 😂 yanno?
When I was like 11 or 12 I used to make old action figures I had skate with fingerboards. They all had their own style and I would build some pretty elaborate spots. Kid imagination is rad
I just think that they like skateboarding so much that they fingerboard to fill in the gaps of time they’re not skating
I live in MI and we get pretty heavy winters up here. When I can’t skate I’m fingerboarding, it really does fill a little part of that gap during the 5 month span of the no skating winter hell.
It's like an itch that needs to be scratched. It's similar to playing Skateboarding games.
Fingerboarding rocks! Thanks for featuring the hobby Jenkem! Also, that DIY looks so sick, need to visit one day
Thank you Jaren, Benson and Cooper for an awesome day getting to nerd out on my childhood hobby. I am beyond inspired of all the hard work that continues to go into this park. Keep doing what you all do!
something bout this is just so wholesome, i really enjoyed the vid fr
The "undisclosed location" is behind Restaurant Depot in Maspeth Queens, overlooking Newtown Creek, the most-polluted body of water in the USA. It's a fantastic spot, I've filmed there when I made the very first classic-Jaguar-in-NYC video on my channel.
Thank you
I’m happy fingerboarding is finally earning some respect. I’ve been fingerboarding like most of my life but actually at a hobby level for like 12ish years now and it’s come and gone from my life but the future looks bright which makes me stoked!
Try learning a useful skill....you can thank me later for the advice.
Hell yes! So stoked to see fingerboarding in this light!
soo doooppe! weve been building replica parks in the NorCal area for about 4 years now, hosting pop up events at skateparks and growing our local scene, so its so sick to see other communities build their DIYS and share the FB Culture! This is definitely a bucket list trip to visit and sesh, hopefully one day!
This is honestly amazing seeing a man with a dream and bring it to life with a community to back it, more power to him and hella kudos for just doing the damn thing
Love you guys for constantly putting out such amazing content!
I, personally, love this type of content. The amount of just tech deck products I have in my possession from over two decades ago is insane. I would travel to every Wal-Mart withn a fifty mile radius just to buy every tech deck I didn't own. And don't get me started on my park collection...
That’s kinda sad
@@Chad-Giga. And what's your hobby, bigshot lol I did plenty well
This is wild 😂
Love watching things like this bring people together
Insane spot and a super cool video!
Me as a professional fingerboarder I’m so happy to see things like this; I always think why fingerboarding is not as common for skateboarders, whenever I’m not skating I’m fingerboarding. That actually make my brain think and do more skate stuff : same movements, foot position, grinding, filming, editing, etc... and a lot of times I learned skate tricks because of fingerboarding, I think that is INSANE.
Fingerboarding is like a whole art that has a ton to do with it, it’s infinite as skateboarding!
Fingerboarding is definitely an extension for my love of Skateboarding. I think most skaters Fingerboard/TechDeck or enjoy Fingerboarding but its not exactly cool to admit it. Bust one out a skatepark or skatespot while everyone is chilling and other skaters will jump in and have a go.
@@andofb I totally agree dude!
I'm writing this to say, in a gentle way, that there is no Nollie Cab.
BIG UP BROOKLYN CREW!!! MUCH FB LOVE COMIN AT YA DIRECT FROM OAKTOWN CALIFORNIA!!! Fb saved my mental life. Skating for 25+ years and i broke my leg 2 years ago, picked up a fingerboard during the recovery and fell in love with it and grew a different perspective to skateboarding and approaching tricks. Its the bees knees
This is awesome! So much better than the paper and notecard park I had on my desk in the early 2000s
Great video, thanks for sharing something about our hobby and passion. Especially on one of my favorite channels, JENKEM!!!!
It's so dope you covered this
Absolutely loved this
Greg makes the best videos. This was tight!
So sick! Going to build something like this in Sheffield, here in the UK, real soon.
more wholesome jenkem content yess
seeing people take pride will never not be cool! power to the finger boarders man
Fingerboarding for Life! 🔥 Thank you Jenkem! ❤
Thats rad af. Watched this with Chris Kraft and Martin Ehrenberger together. Thanks Jenkemmag for this one, you guys should come to germany to see skate and fingerboarding scene here. ✌🏻
You know one big thing no one said why they love finger boarding so much is, it’s imagination aspect to it*
It’s all about imagination when you finger board
I literally have my own DIY fingerboard park so big ups I love seeing stuff like this
Being a 2000s fingerboarder from europe myself, this warms my heart!
jenkem coming up with the goods once again
man this is somethin else!!! amazing works!
this was so awesome, I wanted to keep watching more
I'm from south central Indiana and in the mid 2000's when I was in 2nd grade I can remember my day one friend and I fingerboarding, scootering, and BMXing during reccess. By 5th grade Techdecks had became so popular that kids started selling them to eachother for quarters and the school had to "ban" techdecks.
Fast forward to my 27th birthday (this year) my brother bought me a pack of 10 techdecks and I said "ha! thanks brother, I love these I probably play with one now and again."...Except a week later I was scheduled for surgery on my lower back, so it was difficult to sit for about a month1/2. I stood in my kitchen and techdecked the whole time- now I'm onto real fingerboard brands. I love this crafty hobby. (If you read all this- u r awesome, shred, build, glhf,
i want a max palmer fountain spot replica ASAP
I remember cutting credit cards in half and bending the nose/tail and making ledges out of notebooks/textbooks back before there was fingerboards. Looks so cool
Thanks for making this.
Jenkem is for the culture!!!!
That's so rad! I love it. I used to have a tech deck half pipe and a little fun box thing with stairs and a rail.
Dann that spot looks sick❤ would love to visit it one day🙋🏼♂️super cool to see you guys having so much fun with it…luv it
Mike Schneider is a goat of youtube fingerboarding and product
Ronnie Creager had some good stuff on his day in life 1999. We used to make boards from plexiglass or plastic rulers back in the day.
this is so sick. love that park in brooklyn. i remember 50/50 down the rainbow rail at 1:12 one time and being so excited lol. i have to see the secret fingerboard park next time i'm there
YES, I love finger of fury. I used to own the vhs. And I was happy to see it was uploaded to CZcams when I searched a year ago. 🤝🎉
Great stuff!!
Great content as always. This was fun and interesting to watch. Does guys seem like theyre def doin for the love - and thats what its all about
def will peep this next month!
Thot u meant _the video_ itself at first lol😂 like “damn, mans has impressive self restraint! would _hate_ to see _their_ Watch Later list”
I love jenkem for this
Jaren is such a great guy love his fb videos
the amount of tech decks we all had taken away by teachers in early school... lol
fingers of fury was what got me into fingerboarding legendary to see him mention this in the video! haha sick!!
Yooo those paintings in the back were crazy. Seeing Goku made me wanna go super Saiyan with the tech deck
So dope!! More niche stories like this
This is great !
I love the diy aspect of it, stuff like the little stairset model he made out of wood is so clever.
I’m so glad mike Schneider was mentioned that was like part of my childhood
I didn't know you were tapped in like that. Still waiting for my Jambi challenge submission to be reviewed B^)
literal peak euphoric feeling being admired for fingerboarding when everyone said it was lame years ago. never stop fingerboarding bless
@@gyrate98nah you just let your inner kid die
Lol....way to tell us all you're a loser with no life skills without actually telling us you're a lover with no life skills.
@@gyrate98 Good question.
love everything about this
scene is now amazing, people recognize each other around the whole world! :)
I can't believe that I made my first fingerboard in woodshop I would whittle them out of wood scraps have my mom who is the manager of true value hardware bring me grip tape and hot glue for my mutilated micromachine chassis that gave up their life to become skateboard trucks😂 even though I just turned 40 not too long ago I still size up every curve and staircase in my brain as I'm driving and I still skate with the youngsters ✌️
respect in every aspect! 🔥🎤✊
Opus 0 Alexis milant video was always my favorite. The simplicity the Sounds on obstacles. One of the most well put together finger parts
Alexis Milant had fucked up levels of steeze way too early. Those europeans man
Insane. I remember playing with these in Jr High or earlier back in like 97-98 😂
Fuckin dope it really never gets old ....my brother always said your going to be 40 and still playing with fingerboards im 35 and still dabble a couple times a year
Great video, and that park is fireeeee !!!
This is dope
randomly saw this diy in a graffiti vid a few days ago and wondered if anyone knew about it. looks fun
Yoooo! Thats too sick!
Damn this is so cool!
I lived in nyc for a decade and never heard about this place. Definitely visiting next time
are handboards at the fingerboard park the equivalent to bmx at the skatepark?
They have Finger Scooters 🤷♂
Beautiful video and souls.
Fingers of fury was a great video! Miss the good old days!
I need to visit this now!
Yo!! I used to always fingerboard at Turntablelab HQ back in the heyday in Brooklyn. Ask the other Michna about it. He actually has some old clips of it somewhere too. And "fingerboard tourist" is THE best title for that dude. This video is awesome, BTW!!
Let’s go🔥‼️‼️
damn ive been wanting to make something like this at the albany, ny skatepark so bad for forever. this is so sick lol
max palmer and nely morville and city of caterpillar shirt and fingeboarding this video is fire
Damn thats actually dope 💯
Makes me want to get back into it
I made fingerboards in junior high 1990, i would cut up my comics to make superhero boards and such, added grip tape and mounted hotwheels axles, made some good money! Haha
Beautiful video
I remember getting pretty good with fingerboards and trying to record tricks with a camcorder and being annoyed that the movements were too quick to effectively capture on video. itd be cool to see a fingerboarding video that is recorded on a high frame rate camera
“Everybody is gonna start doing this” I’m everybody
top tier content
This is awesome
Fb on the rise
Woulda loved to see the finish pour from the wood form! Or do they leave the wood on?
i’m def going there sometime this week
People out here acting like they didn’t cup up their ccs catalogs and make their own fingerboards. Don’t be ashamed, we all did it
Right when I leave NY y’all build this! I’m getting my black clothes out… hang on.. I’ll brb
Yoo that is insane!
Damn I’m stuck at the airport watching this. I would’ve went to this. Week trip is over next time for sure lol.
Yeah guys! Whoop! I’ll sesh there one day
Anyone see the random closed caption: “ I used to fuck with Flatface?” Hahaha
This is so sickkkkk
I skate and fingerboard, both are sick af
They need to add another slab and make it to where you can walk through widish walkways and jump from essentially cube to cube via doing a sick bump or moving if one would rather do such instead.
