Product Blog: Dirty Fingerboards – Dual Bearing Bowl Edition White
October 24, 2018 by MartinB. | 1:11 pm
A few weeks ago I´ve presented to you the groundbreaking BRT dual conversion kit made by Dirty Fingerboards. As I told you in my previous product blog, this was a big demand of the fingerboard scene.
Besides to this great new product, Dirty Fingerboards got more to offer in their product lineup. Fingerboard decks get more creative shapes than ever in these days so you really need the right wheels for the right boards. You can get minis, streetwheels, big wheels, small once, nylon wheels, urethane wheels, plastic wheels, bowl wheels and some more.
Today we will take a look at the Dirty Fingerboards bowl edition wheels:

And one more:
Bowl wheels are, like boardrails for example, more hyped than ever in the fingerboard scene. As I said in the introduction, you can get a fingerboard deck in a really crazy shape, but this doesn´t fit perfect with small wheels. In this case you need some big and solid bowl wheels for sure. So bowl wheels are not only made for all the bowl shredders out there. You don´t need the Vans kneesocks to ride these wheels :-D
These wheels are made from dense plastic. The wheels are CNC drilled. That means every wheel is the same and you get a perfect round shape, no wobbeling and clean and good performance. If you´re a beginner in riding bowls these wheels makes more sense for you than urethane wheels with way more grip. You can get 6 different colors of this massiv bowl wheels. Get them right over here: Click! If you´re using BRT or Danamics, just get the single bearing version. The only difference is the amount and ABEC of the bearings.
THX a lot Karlo! The next procut blog will be up soon!

If you´re a beginner in riding bowls these wheels makes more sense for you than urethane wheels with way more grip.
These wheels are available in two single bearing versions. You can get 6 different colors and two types of bearing. There is a Abec5 version right over here: Click! and a Abec7 edition right over here: Click! The only difference between the versions is the bearing. So you can get the Abec5 version for a cheaper price than the Abec7 pro version. Both versions have a centralized system and work perfect together with Blackriver and Dynamic Trucks, For YTrucks you should add the great FBS washer.
THX a lot Karlo! The next procut blog will be up soon!

Product Blog: Freak Decks – Sapphire
April 4, 2019 by MartinB. | 8:41 am
Spain! It´s been a while! Long time I´ve not received fingerboard stuff from Spain. The last packages from Spain were sent by Slam Concretes and South Soft bushings. Haven´t heard something from these companies for a while know !? and the product blogs I did were made in 2017 and 2016. So yes, it´s been a while that I´ve received fingerboard stuff from Spain. Maybe one reason for this is because the huge super super ultimate boom in Europe is over. Many companies closed their doors. Even Fingercan closed the website and is only on Instagram now. Thats sad but maybe there will be better days in future. The core will stay – hopefully!
I´m happy to have a “new” company right here with me. Freak Decks are made by Adrian Darrosa from Spain. Adrian founded the company in 2016 – I consider this as “new” – and offers handmade fingerboards from Spain. Everything on Freak Decks is made by Adrian by hand. So let´s have a look at some Sapphire fingerboard deck in some ultimate color:
“The Sapphire is one of the four most important gemstones in the world. It is the stone that represents wisdom and truth. In ancient times it was believed that the sky was blue because it was a reflection of the sapphires that were on earth.”
Shape:
The deck is overall about 34mm wide. Nose and tail have the classic popsicle shape. The shape is overall medium (concave and kicks). Classic and up to date.

Let´s talk about this deck.
The “Sapphire” graphic is one graphic of a three precious stones series called “HUMILITY WISDOM & LOVE”. Adrian asked me on Instagram which one I want and I took this one, because I´m just a fan of this solid blue color. As you can see on the pictures, this color is more than solid. It´s fresh and clean like the blue sky at the beach. The graphic looks like a super thin foil on the deck, but I think it´s printed on paper. So this is not a real wear deck. In my opinion that doesn´t matter, because even the printed graphics won´t last forever and look wasted after heavy using. Many companies like Y for example still use this technique.
The shape. This deck is overall about 34mm wide. Nose and tail have the classic popsicle shape. The shape is overall medium (concave and kicks). It´s just classic and up to date. I think on some of the images the deck looks a bit thicker than other ones. Well, thats not true. The deck is normal thin. Maybe the reason for this is, that the edges are not as round as on other decks. So don´t worry about this, everything is fine with the thickness of this deck. It´s just like some decks look more anorexic than others :-D
The holes on this one look clean and symetric. The countersinks are shape like the head of your mounting screws. The sanding job is fine, as I said these are not the roundest/anorexic edges I´ve ever seen, but maybe this is just because I had these LAFB decks in my hands for the last couple of days. So these edges are standard sanded like on many other companies too. To be honest, before I had these LAFB decks, I never thought that the edges of a deck make such a difference. Don´t get me wrong, while using you won´t feel the difference. It´s just on macro pictures. These edges are clean and solid!
How to order? Well, you can find Freak Decks EVERYWHERE! Get them on Instagram at first: @freakdecks Check out the website: Click! And give him a like on Facebook: Click!

THANK a lot for this deck Adrian. It´s great to see that there is still fingerboarding in Spain! Keep it up!
