Product Blog: Sorry For Fingerboarding – Grosso Deck
August 9, 2018 by MartinB. | 10:57 am
While listening to “Story of My Life” performed by Social Distortion I´m starting this product blog. Today we will take a look at the second (of three) fingerboard deck from SORRY FOR FINGERBOARDING straight outta California. I´ve been in Cali once in my life and after beeing in the USA it´s my favorite part.
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.
So if these guys are gamechanger and bringing a whole new motivation into fingerboarding it makes sense, that these guys produce reissue decks of legends. This time we have some legendary Jeff Grosso Anti Hero reissue. Jeff Grosso is a true legend in Skateboarding. If you don´t know him then just Google him. We will have a look at the deck NOW:

The decks are available in the 2017 and 2018 mold. This should be the lower 2017 mold.

Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. Smoking Kills. True story.
I´ve nerver been into smoking at all but I think Grosso is just loving it. In several interviews he talked about it and I think he is just in love with smoking. Like we in Germany say “Jede Jeck is anders.”
The graphic on the bottom ply is a real wear fingerboard graphic. The bottom ply is in some nice and shiny green colored wood and combined with this with this colorful graphic it´s really an eyecatcher. I really like the look of this deck because it reminds me on skateboarding decks back in the days. Oldschool decks were never fully printed like new school decks. Always some wood combined with a graphic. So this makes this deck even more realistic.
The plies on this deck are true blue. 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 – Party Pack V1
August 8, 2018 by MartinB. | 1:39 pm
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 first set of wheels. The Sulit Wheels Party Pack:

The Party pack wheels have the V1 shape.

Why is this called Party Pack? Well this set of wheels consists of four different swirl wheels. So you get four different colors of swirls with every set of wheels you order. So this is a great reason calling these sets Party pack.
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 Party Packs available. You can get 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 tto 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!
