Tech Deck made a wooden “performance” fingerboard and today we are taking a look at it to find out if it’s sick? or if it sucks?
This is a video I’v seen a bunch of people request and thats for me to try out the new Performance Series Tech Decks which have a 32mm wooden deck, trucks with bushings and new grippy wheels!
I’v been curious about these decks ever since they where released but sadly couldn’t find one in New Zealand so I had to order online!
Hope you guys enjoyed the video! If you did make sure to subscribe and come back for the next video which will be the 500k special and then after that something which I know a lot of you have been waiting for…. you’ll just have to come back to find out hahaha!

The edges aren’t sanded down at all, the wood they use is the cheapest and softest I ever seen and the pop just holds up a good sesh, after that it’s already done…
Even my first own presses are so much better then this…
So don’t be fooled and buy instead a really good beginner setup for 20-25€ (more or less the same like American $) like the asi Berlin shop complete, there you got a pretty well produced wooden deck in 32 or 34mm, the cheap Chinese single axis trucks (shop trucks 2.0 for 20€) or even the updated version (3.0 for 25€) with better hangars, more precised axis (tight fit on single bearing wheels like on brt or dynamics) and better baseplates and you got pretty nice produced bearing wheels…
Sure, for this price you still don’t get anything fancy but at least way more as you got from tech deck in performance or even pro series…
Yes right, at least the 25€ shop complete is on the same level like the 70$ (still not to get well for a fair price here in Germany in beginning 2024, so nearly 2 years after release no proper selling way in fingerboarding important country’s, I think that talks for them self…
Or it’s maybe just cause they copied blackriver trucks (even the angles of the baseplate and hangars are exactly the same…), not sure why but in fact you still can’t buy them here without unusual and unnecessary high shipping and/or taxes costs even over 2 years after release in one of the most important country’s for the fingerboarding scene world wide…
I respect tech deck for what they done overall for the fingerboarding scene but in the last decade they just done nothing anymore without making money on there not further improving products so currently I just can’t recommend anything from them without the 5-10€ beginner plastic tech decks in 32mm, when you reshape them just a bit they are great all weather fingerboards when you change grip, trucks and wheels…
Have still 3 of them (reshaped and tuned with riptape, ASI Berlin shop trucks 2.0 or 3.0, level up bushings, ASI shop wheels/create your skate wheels/teak-Apex urethane wheels)…
And I still keep one of those completes just reshaped and with cheap foam tape just to compare it to good stuff…
The only tech deck I have next to them is one performance series which ist sadly already trash cause it just loose it’s pop, even slightly reshaping and a pretty nice layer of clear coat can’t hide this anymore, still works but it’s like on a real board, without a straight pop you can’t trust this board anymore cause it gets unpredictable…
