| Well, tech decks are smaller than regular fingerboards and don't perform very well. It kind of is that big of a difference. It's something you have to experience. | |

| Yeah to me it seems like Tech Decks are like the "Walmart" boards in fingerboarding. | |

| Beasts are only 15 US Dollars. Just save for a little, you don't have to have a Berlinwood or a G12 for your first deck. | |

| The difference is huge. It's basically like a walmart skateboard compared to an enjoi; both are usable, but the enjoi is much better. I prefer wooden boards because they have more pop and are much wider and longer. If youre on a low budget, buy a beast with no comply minis (check my sale thread) and you'll be set. | |

| I‘d go with the No Comply complete if I HAD to get a complete, but I think it‘s better to be able to pick and choose so you can best suit your preferences. | |

| if you want a really cheap alright one go with www.fingerdecks.com they have the new d4 coming for 35 dollar complete, but if you can go with the no comply it is far better, choose the no comply one over the flatface one | |

| Close Up is another option. The G3's are pretty good, and they have co-branded decks with brands like 5Boro and Heroine. Close Up trucks are single axle so don't have any problems with the axle falling out. They are about $30 shipped. | |
