If you are a 30 something skateboarder, then you probably remember making your own fingerboard skateboard by glueing sheets of thin cardboard together and cutting out your skateboard shape and then fastening wheels from a hotwheels car and some real grip tape on top in some fancy design like we all did our grip tape back in the day. Nowadays kids don’t bother making there own, forget being creative! 🙂 Just go to your toystore and get a Techdeck with your favorite logo or skater’s graphic on it. Well, I have to admit, I have one and the little realistic trucks on them are quite impressive and what’s even more impressive is the video of people on the TechDeck Trick Tips website doing the same tricks you do on a real board with there freakin’ fingers! I’ve tried doing these tricks and let me just say, HUH?
Well, now that you are caught up with fingerboard evolution, this next stage is brought to us by the folks at Illusion Labs. It is called Touchgrind and is made for the iphone. It is touted as the first real multi-touch skateboard game ever created. Apparently Touchgrind has 12 unloackable boards that has different abilities, incredible 3D grahics and you can even jam to your own music with a custom soundtrack. Insane and all for $4.99 from iTunes! Too bad the iphone isn’t closer to $4.99! 🙂 Check out the insane demo video for this below!!!
