ASI-Berlin – ONLINESHOP
December 20, 2018 by MartinB. | 7:59 am
“We´re very happy and proud to finally launch the ASI Berlin online shop services for you. We´re trying to offer the same wide product range as at our physical place in Berlin Friedrichshain.
Starting off with your very own products like the ASI BRIXX and the ASI BERLIN CLOTHING. These items are handmade and produced at the ASI BERLIN SHOP itself.
According to our specific shop products like our COMPLETE FINGERBOARDS or FIRST AID equipment, you can be sure to get good quality products for a very low price. We would like to mention one thing: if you like to support the ASI Berlin Shop you´ll do it the most by buying our own products.
Besides that we´re very proud to present you all of our exclusive collaborations with well known brands like BERLINWOOD, PLANKTOON, BIG BEUDL, GALO FINGERBOARD or DISLOCATION FB. Much more special products coming soon!
Opening a new webshop is a horrible process. Besides taking a lot of pictures and writing a shit load of descriptions there are always some bugs that need to be fixed in the first days after opening the shop. We would like to apologize in advance all problems that had to be expected with opening the webshop!
The ASI Berlin webshop starts off with a very low stock of some products but this is all we can afford at the moment. Come over and have a great shopping experience. With your help we can expand and grow!
We like to mention that you are very welcome to get in contact with us through info@asi-berlin.com. Ask everything about your order, requests and tell us your personal wishes. We´re trying to satisfy all of our customers “online” as we´re used to on a daily basis at our shop in Berlin/Friedrichshain since 8 years.
The main goal was and is to safe the only physical fingerboard shop in Europe! This place is open for the public and it´s here to stay in the locality at Boxhagener Str. 14. All of you who haven´t visited us yet can hopefully do it one day! We like to give our locals and visitors a steady contact point where you can expect comprehension and appreciation for all your “fingerboard related problems” next to the BIGGEST ARRANGEMENT of FINGERBOARD PARKS, RAMPS, POOLS & BOWLS, DIY CONCRETE you could imagine!!
RUNNING WILD BY PROFFESSIONAL FINGERBOARDERS
We would like to thank everyone who helped us along the way to get to this point!
SPECIAL THANKS to all our PATRONS, ALAN, MATT, TIMO, HARRY, JANA & BENNE, ALL DONATING COMPANIES, FINGERBOARDTV, BLACKRIVER-RAMPS, ALL OUR BELOVED CUSTOMERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS!”

Tomi Lempinen Interview0
December 14, 2011 by MartinB. | 5:13 pm
Hello Tomi! Tell us about who you are, where you from and whats your daily business.
– Hi Martin! My name is Tomi Lempinen and I’m from Turku, Finland. I have a webshop with my older brother called DOH FB SHOP (http://dohfbshop.com)and as the name says we mainly sell fingerboard products. I am so lucky to have such good contacts to Blackriver-Ramps, Harrier, Mitt and Flatface Fingerboards so we can provide Finnish fingerboarders with the best possible equipment. My typical day is sitting at home in front of the computer sending e-mails, writing a blog (http://fb4fun.blogspot.com), filming and editing videos and taking photos which is my latest passion and of course taking care of other company related issues. I also compose music, write lyrics and play drums in a punkband called Tku Trashin. I couldn’t work / take orders from anyone who doesn’t care about / know about fingerboarding so our own company is a good solution.
How do you get in touch with fingerboarding?
– I was quite depressed couple years ago and a friend of mine dropped by and showed me some fingerboard videos and the “Opus 0” by Alexis Milant changed my life. It was so smooth and realistic. So crazy, like magic. I couldn’t even imagine that you could do tricks like that with a fingerboard so after that I went to another friend’s house and he gave me a Blind Tech Deck. I started practicing ollies, flips and such and after few months I found Blackriver Webshop and ordered a Berlinwood Camo Green, Box 6 and a polebank and after that I got my first sponsor. I made fingerboard videos day after day and started to write a blog first in English but because of you I decided to try it in Finnish (thank you by the way, haha)and there has been a lot of active readers. I went to Sweden couple times in 2010 and met Andy (first BRR Teamrider) at Malmö Ultra Bowl 2 and got along with him just great and he gave me a treasure I will cherish the rest of my life. Then I got invited to Germany by Thomas Hansen and I went there twice this summer. And not long ago I got invited to BATH3 and my first FB-movie FB 4 FUN is in the reviews of Fingerboarder Magazine #2 so things are pretty insane right now. Fingerboarding almost literally saved my life so I will dedicate my life to the fingerboard scene and support those who deserve it. Paying It Forward!
Whats your current setup?
– My current setup is 32mm split ply Berlinwood that Timo Lieben made me on my last trip to BRR City. I use regular BRT 2.0 trucks with black baseplates and the other hanger is True Blue and the other is Super Silver, but there’s a little story behind it: I accidently stepped on the board but luckily only one hanger got damaged. That shows the quality of Berlinwood decks, haha. I use Timo Kranz bushings and Winkler Wheels TLC Blues at the moment. Other setup I use a lot is FlatFace G12 Extra Wide with BRT 2.0 and FlatFace BR Edition wheels. But I’m still searching for that “perfect” setup but I think I’ve found my board already. I also have to try different setups in order to make reviews for the Finnish Fingerboarding For Fun blog and to test out the products that we sell. Flaked 4 ply 31mm, LowPro Family Shape and Berlinwood “flatshapes” are also very good decks. I just love Berlinwood decks and now that I’ve seen them do them and their quality control is very strict (you can take my word on that, haha) so my opinion has only strengthened along the way.
What is your favorite trick?
– Hmm… I think there are a lot of favorite tricks but nollie FS late shove-it is probably my “signature” trick. 360 flip (tré flip) is cool but there’s so many ways / styles to do it and I’m still trying to find mine. But It changes all the time cause you will always find something new in every trick you do if you just pay attention to the way you do it. I like the fact that you can never learn it all but of course you can and you should try because nothing is impossible!
Do you have any favorite rider or a video that influenced you?
– I already mentioned the Opus 0 video so let’s focus on my favorite riders and sessions. Of course Alexis Milant is one of my favorite riders but a good fingerboarder is more than just a skilled fingerboarder since he / she has to have personality / character in my opinion. So with that said I would name my favorite rider as Thomas Hansen! I remember when I saw his entry to the “Hit The Line” contest and I was psyched. So original style and tricks. It is still one of my ultimate favorite videos as well as the part he and Martin did for the FB 4 FUN movie, it is insane! (Check it out on blacktheriver channel!) And Thomas is such a great character, full of wisdom and he’s generous, kind and reliable guy. Someone once said that I have a similar style and I think that has been one of the best comments I have received in YouTube.
Which fingerboard experience you liked the most(contest/jam/session)?
– I have had a lot of exciting fingerboard experiences but I must say that the day after Fast Fingers 13 at the Wunseidel with Thomas, Timo L, Mike, Jay, Chris Deso, Mitko and many others. The sun was shining and everyone shredded the incredible stone-park and the stone-ramp with a smile on their faces. That was a wonderful day. Props to Wunseidel-Flo! I miss those days so much and the friends I made on my trips to Germany.
And finally do you want to thank someone?
– Yeah for sure!! I would like to thank my family fist, foremost and always! Lifetime of unconditional love and support has kept me going. And when it comes to fingerboarding I would like to thank Blackriver Team & Family for making me feel at home and for supporting me in my projects and for having such an open-minded and understanding attitude. Thomas deserves most of the credit but I would also like to thank Timo Lieben for being such a mellow fellow. I would also like to thank Mike and Jay! Their part for the FB 4 ALL movie that’s under progress is insane! It will be released in summer 2012 as a free internet version and as a DVD version as well. It’s our tribute to the FB-community. And of course I want to thank you Martin and FingerBoardTV for doing such an amazing job in keeping people up to date on what’s happening. “For fingerboarders from fingerboarders” And of course I would iike to thank all our business associates for making it possible to bring good quality FB-products to Finland and to sell those in our webshob. And also to be able to distribute them to other shops. DOH FB SHOP is all about old-school skateboard mentality, not about just making money. Last but not least I would like to thank my dear big brother Sammy for keeping our company on its feet. Thanks to Huge for all his efforts and Mika S. for being such an artist and making cool pictures / logos to us. And of course everyone in the DOH FB TEAM! Thank you for the interview Martin. Support the scene!
THX Tomi!

BW + Bollie0
March 8, 2010 by MartinB. | 5:27 pm
“These sets are the perfect answer for all fingerboarders seeking a solid, innovative, and reasonable fingerboard for advanced riders who have left the beginner level and who still are not ready to go as professional as possible at the same time. In co-operation Berlinwood and Bollie offer a hardware set for a complete fingerboard for self-assembly.
The truck set from Bollie contains a set of wide trucks, bushings, screws and nuts.
The Bollie wheels fit perfectly on the axle-pins of the Bollie Trucks and Tech Deck trucks. They are not constructed to fit professional trucks (BRR Trucks) since professional trucks work with bearing-systems.
The construction of the wheels makes them wiggle less than conventional plastic wheels.
These bearingless wheels are the closest you can get towards the feeling of bearing wheels.
The Berlinwood deck is a professional wooden fingerboard from the current production line.
The set comes with a free Blackriver tool for a limited period of time!“
Btw I´ve seen Bollie wheels and trucks in Hannover and they were sold separately. I think they will be in stock at Brr soon.
