Product Blog: Sorry For Fingerboarding – Stickers
August 13, 2018 by MartinB. | 10:45 am
Today we will take a look at the third and last fingerboard deck from SORRY FOR FINGERBOARDING straight outta California.
I´ve met Nash & Nash not in Cali. I´ve met them in Berlin at the night before the ASI Berlin No.10. Before this event weekend we were just in touch on Instagram because we´re all into cycling and pure carbon porn. But this is not about cycling it´s about SORRY FOR FINGERBOARDING. The whole SORRY FOR FINGERBOARDING thing is pushing fingerboarding sooo much into the right direction that I would say the hotspot of fingerboarding is in Cali at the moment. Big sessions going on at Grinderz and even the Fingerboard US Championschips. It´s great to see that there is such a big movement over in the US. The leading part in this game is played by Nash & Nash. Let´s call these guys gamechanger.
These guys are gamechanger and bringing a whole new motivation into fingerboarding. This time we have some “stickered” oldschool fingerboard deck:
Shape:
The decks are available in the 2017 and 2018 mold. This should be the lower 2017 mold.

And one more:
The graphic on the bottom ply is not made of small stickers, it is a real wear fingerboard graphic. The bottom ply is in some nice and shiny red colored wood and combined with this with this colorful graphic. Was this an Anti Hero grahic too?! I really don’t remember. Every pro skater puts some sticker on his board and you do this with your fingerboard too. I really like the combination of “classics” on this one. Such an american stickerjob :-D
The overall shape of this deck is more low than medium and nose and tail got some bowl shredder shape. This deck is not “that” classic double kick fingerboard. The craftmanship and holes are perfect. You won´t regret buying a deck from SORRY and you are an up to date mofo with a SORRY deck. These decks are rare, so get one if possible. Where to get? Ask Nash & Nash on Instagram, go to the ASI Berlin Store (only a few left, DM Timo on Insta) or visit one of the dope events in Cali. Wait! There is a webshop too. But I´m sorry to say,this graphic not in stock at the moment. But there are a few other decks available: Click!

Product Blog: Sulit Wheels – Tiffany BX
August 11, 2018 by MartinB. | 11:20 am
Some weeks ago I´ve received a letter sent by Henry Baraoidan. Henry is the head behind the website filifingers.com. Filifingers is a website from the Philippines that offers local products and distributes them worldwide. Such a product are Sulit Wheels. Sulits are made by Aliw Fingerboards and the owner of this brand is Jefrey Ramilo. Jef and Henry work together as a team. Jef produces stuff like Sulit Wheels and Henry distributes them.
So I´ve seen a lot of people riding Sulit wheels on Instagram for a while now. I was really interested into these wheels, because new wheels comapnies are rare and they looked good for urethane wheels. So I got in contact with Henry on Instagram and started chatting. Later on he sents me three different sets of Sulit wheels. After getting the package from german customs, I was really stoked about this. I really didn´t expect to get three sets of wheels.
Today we will take a look at the second set of wheels. The Sulit Wheels Tiffany bowl wheels:

The bowl wheels have the BX shape.

And one more:
These wheels are named after it´s color: Tiffany. This set of wheels consists of four swirl wheels in the BX (bowl) shape. Bowl wheels are getting more and more popular because of nasty transition riding and wider boards.
About the wheels: these wheels are made from 70D urethane and 100% handmade in the Philippines. Jef equipped every set of wheels with strong ABEC7 grade bearings. On @aliw_fingerboard on Instagram you could check out some of the steps in the evolution of Sulit Wheels up to every kind of wheels they offer now. There are not only bowl available. You can get other swirls, debossed wheels, bowl wheels and a lot more. By the way, these single bearing wheels fit perfect on Blackriver-Trucks and roll round without wobbeling. The feeling is the same like on other 70D urethane wheels. I´m sorry to say, but these wheels are not in stock at filifingers.com. But you can get in contact with these guys directly on Instagram I think and just ask them. Probably they are looking for distributers?! Just write them a love letter.
So get in contact with Henry and Jef now:

Thanks a lot Henry and Jef for the ice talk on Instagram and these good looking wheels. The other reviews will follow within the next few days. Keep up the good work. You´re doing a great job!
