Product Blog: Los Angeles Fingerboards – Space Force
April 2, 2019 by MartinB. | 3:26 pm
Los Angeles is on place #2 of the biggest cities in the US and at the moment I would say that California is the hotspot #1 in fingerboarding on this planet. I´ve been once to L.A. and this city is just crazy! As I told you guys more than once I liked this coast of the US more than the “other one”. No hate, I´m just a fan of sunshine and all these California girls.
Los Angeles Fingerboards are named like this, because this brand started in L.A.. @losangelesfingerboards got not only the attention of the scene because of the decks he made, he made some of the best replicas of skateboarding spots in fingerboard size. On the instagram site there is just more than fingerboard decks. You guys would be stupid not checking @losangelesfingerboards
Let´s have a look at some fingerboard deck. Today will continue with the third deck of four. It´s a real wear graphic deck from LAFB called “Space Force”, check that beast out:

This deck is made in the “super duper” shape. Med/High kicks, Med/High concave and 33,5mm wide.

Talking abot a “Space Force” might be a political thing. When I´ve heard the first time about Mr. T´s plans concerning a space force a few months ago I laughed hard. For me it´s still not possible that this guy was “elected” to be head of state. This graphic is btw 100% sarcasm if you´re not sure, consider it as caricature/joke ;-) This graphic reminds me a little bit at the “Osama” Adrian Lopez deck which was made by Zero Skateboards back in the days.
But, about the graphic. It´s a real wear graphic which is sharp and really colorful. It´s plotted perfect oon the deck and the quality of the print is super nice. On this one you have a little LAFB lettering on the site of the deck. The galaxy background looks perfect.
Let´s talk about the craftmansship of the third deck: And again PERFECT. Only one word, PERFECT.
The countersinks are straight and so fucking clean, you won´t get cleaner countersinks in heaven. I mean, just check this out:
Aren´t these the cleanest countersinks you have ever seen????
Talking about the craftmansship, you need to talk about the sanding job on the edges. Every company has their own style of sanding edges. I´ve never seen a sanding job with this sort of round edges ever before. These edges are just smooth, clean and super round. Like on a realy skateboard. It seems like he is watching the curves of California girls while sanding. I had a lot fingerboard decks in my hands within my “fingerboarding career” but I´ve really seen such round edges on a fingerboard. I´m really stoked.
10/10 points for the craftmansship of a LAFB deck! Really good job!
LAFB offer 4 shapes. Thats the reason why I´ve recieved 4 decks. LAFB is more than just decks, it´s miniature art you can use.
