☞ About me:
Name Jeff (haha like the meme), used to create an ARG webseries called 10 tapes. Now I talk here on youtube about stuff both spooky and otherwise, stream on twitch (off and on) and attempt to hunt down the man that killed my family. I’m also a certified gamer, my uncle invented nintendo.
Bro chill, my girlfriend watches KZhead...
I'm seething. I stopped playing with these in middleschool because i was getting called a nerd. Now i find out that theres a whole thriving community of fingerboarders in 2024 with cool ramps and rails and stuff... We need to cancel toxic masculinity yall....
What was wrong with your school? Back in like 2010-2011 everyone in my school had these and people used to buy the ramps and stuff and bring em to school although I can never enjoy them due to a hand disability, but like we all say “it is what it is” hopefully you still enjoy them as an adult
Imagine using trigger words to play the victim card, people didn't like you. Cope with it

jeffiot, the cerveza cristal gag is the funniest shit i've ever watched. true comedy
peak comedy. It's gonna age so badly though, will make no sense in like 3 months
@@nbjornestoli dont get itttttt
@@martinmorsch7507 It is from an ad placement in Chilean version of Star Wars. They just edited Luke Skywalker getting a beer mid movie, I guess due to some regulations that don't allow them to stop the movie to show ads, similar to KDrama ad placements.
laughed out loud at 1:30am on that one, hope I didn't wake up my sleeping family.

Massively underrated channel for aging millennials who want high-quality content that gets all the details correct
As someone who is gen z I can confirm that this channel is awesome no matter who you are 👍
You put it into words 💯💯💯
despite jeffs protestations, this is perfect stoner content
istg
moreso, most skaters have participated in inhaling mary jane at least once x)
I dno man, i started to get annoyed with his constant moving around with the shot editing and his head is a weird shape... maybe i'll enjoy it when i'm less stonned 😂
its actually not.. im stoned right now watching this vid and its compete trash..
so fun to watch 🔥 keep on shredding 🤘
Fingerboarding is always going to be a huge part in my life. I taught me how to have an outlet for my creativity through film and taugh me so many skills just trying to better myself. I also met some of my best friends and have my best memories from that time in my life. I still do it almost every day, its incredibly satisfying to do.
holy shit it’s Toebex
Ditto!
The cerveza crystal gag killed me LMAO
haha, crazy someone i'm subbed to someone who randomly made a video about this. i'm actually a professional fingerboarder myself, you can see some videos on my channel. i've been skateboarding for almost 25 years, alive for 31, so I was sorta the target demographic for fingerboarding as a kid. just sorta never put it down i guess. always take one with me wherever i go, and here at my desk ofc. e: and by the way your little edit at the end wasn't too bad man, especially the tech deck stuff. doing stuff on a tech deck is 100x harder than a professional setup. keep it up =]
I grew up skateboarding and, similar to you, never got past the ollie and a few rarely successful kickflips etc. But all of my skateboarding friends who stuck with it longer than me were pretty seriously interested in fingerboarding. They would chuckle about it, but that was mostly pretense. They never didn't have at least one usable setup and they, like, got good at it. It really is the exact same thing as normal skateboarding, as far as what makes it interesting to people.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I tried getting into skateboarding a couple times, but didn't stick with it because I just... don't like falling on concrete. Okay, maybe a little ashamed. I'm a pussy, I know. But I mean, I was already into BMX, dirt (motor) bikes, snowboarding, watersports... so it was just kind of a hard sell. The last time I tried, my ankle had just recovered from a REALLY bad sprain (breaking it would have been better), and I aggravated it really bad again while attempting a kickflip. So after limping around for another month or two, I basically just gave up on it. Maybe if I started younger...
@@neofromthewarnerbrothersic145 Yeah the fear of pain is the reason why i never stuck with skating.
@@ApahtiePartySame especially after a bad fall I had that my ankle still has never been the same
This video made me miss all the dumb little obligatorily collectible knicknacks that were so popular in the '90s and '00s. If I could get back all the hours I spent making my Crazy Bones characters ride my Tech Deck fingerboards through Lego landscapes, I'd probably have had enough time to learn a new language or elementary electrician skills. But I can't, and that's alright.
My body is ready for more Jeffiot videos!
yess
nah i dont remember, can you explain what they are
Boy do I have the video for you
@@degeneratemale5386 Dammit man, don't keep us in suspense! What's the video?!?! 😅
Try scrolling to the top of the page. It might be somewhere around there.
Miniature feetboarding for your fingers.
22:31 I was so prepared for a skill share add
A cool thing I just realized about fingerboards while watching this is that it's helped me understand the dynamics of all the flippy tricks better.
I found fingerboarding at 8 y/o through my obsession with skating, getting back into making decks and playing around with Fingerboards again at 26y/o has been so much fun, and now I'm pressing full size skate decks, I love this hobby
I had friends in high school (2006-2010) who were so into these. They had TOOLKITS for part swapping, different boards, it was crazy. I never watched them actually like... do tech deck stuff though. I saw some tech decks in walmart last week and thought, "These are still being made, wtf?"
thats NOTHING
mr. jeff, when you pulled that archaic logitech camera on screen, i was filled with emotions i cant even describe. that decrepit thing has sat in my house for what has to be 20 years. thank you.
Right now drunk in my bath while watching your video. I think is the first comment I ever wrote in any video but I don't know why but right now I need it. You're awesome dude, following you since your scp videos (not for the content but you're reading but who you are). And I wanted to tell you, you are amazing as a man. Can't wait until the next one. Love you man.
Most wholesome comment of all time. Add some Epsom salt to your bath for additional chillaxin next time.
That montage at the end is actually legit fire ngl
this might've been the funniest video you've ever made. comedic timing was dead on. i am a proud patron
That was super rad man. It is always nice to see "fingie skatie" content that is not just someone shitting on it. great job with your obstacles, that jersey barrier looks legit and super smooth. It looks like you progressed pretty good for only a month of practice. I have thoroughly enjoyed this hobby for most of my life and have really enjoyed it in the last year, I have been to three events and won around 600 dollars worth of prizes.
10:00 For reference, in that time I've gone from a baby boy to an adult woman.
yippee very relatable
Certified hero's journey🏳️⚧️
Congrats
same
no way ive done the same but reverse!!
Thank you for dredging that Alexis milant video from the depths of my brain. That was a banger of a video.
I didn't know I needed this video but I'm so glad you made it. Fingerboarding is such a fun little hobby and I really do hope that people try it out because of your video! Also, your tricks at the end were actually really solid! I'd keep at it.
As a fingerboarder I loved this, you got some much bang on and that edit was actually sick!
Everything about this speaks to my soul
This brought back some great memories: old-school youtube fingerboarding videos, playing around with fingerboards at school or at any other place on any possible surface, or as I asked my dad to make a custom railing for me. Golden times. Moreover, the production quality of the video is top class!
I appreciate the early 2000s skate culture nostalgia as I was also a skate adjacent poseur, but this also has big "could a depressed person do this?!" energy.
seeing the opus 0 video actually just brought back so many insane memories, i remember seeing it in like 1st grade and thinking it was the coolest thing ever
14:35 Cerveza Cristal moment!! Greetings from Chile my dude
Greetings from rancagua, Estonia
Wooppiee it's jeffiot time baybeee
Never seen any of your videos before, but genuinely happy with this one. As someone who’s been fingerboarding since 2007, it’s really cool to see the history of it summarized and appreciated so well. Also really impressed with how good you got in such a short time! Always love to see the community and appreciation for fingerboarding grow.
I love the lampshading of the "all jokes aside" error.
After having binged some Wubby streams, the Cerveza got me doing a double take. That was beautiful
This guy's shirts are always fire
i love how these videos are just unreasonably well produced
I always think that I have an expensive hobby then I learn about a $200 finger board
I thought my gaming hobby was expensive, and then I got into building 3D printers. And I thought _that_ was an expensive hobby, until I got into collecting scotch whiskey. And while that wasn't cheap, it paled in comparison to the amount of money I spent when I became interested in collecting firearms. I'm just hoping at this point that I don't become transfixed with buying Italian sports cars or something.
You're like a mix of Eddy Burback and Duncan Kastner and I love it
I found a tech deck at work once, and it's just been sitting on my desk. Now I'm fiddlin' with it. Thanks.
I think it was 1987, and my skater friend started cutting out the pictures of decks, then gluing them to cardboard and grip tape cut to size. Didn't have trucks or wheels, but we had fun shoving them around. Dig the persona-ality, dude
Hey man loved the video! I’ve been fingerboarding since 2017 and playing with tech decks since I was a kid. So stoked you took the time to do a deep dive into our awesome little world here. The fingerboarding community, while smaller, is very compassionate and loves to see new people join in! If you have any questions or anything never hesitate to reach out!
Dude 3D printing and molding that jersey barrier came out insanely well!
another absolute banger, Jeff!! the energy you continue to capture hits in a way I can't quite put into words but it's a ride I am so fucking here for
Ok, I was beginning to suspect it, but now I know for sure…I’ll gladly watch this guy talk about anything!
YES. THAT VIDEO. FINGERBOARD OPUS. THAT was the very first i ever saw of somebody actually FINGERBOARDING. Not somebody playing with a tech deck. But legit tabeltop finger skateboarding. That was the first time i ever realized, "You can actually do more than just ollie with these things???" Then he proceeded to pull out almost every combo in the book at the time. I still think that video is the greatest FB video of all time simply for the fact that he made it back when fingerboard videos and content were basically at childsplay levels and grainy home video quality. A pioneer.
I was into tech decks from the beginning and still fingerboarding. I love it, I skate anyway so that helps, also a huge nerd lmao. But there's a real sense of accomplishment when you nail a trick and really helps with adhd fidgeting. Love this video man.
"excited little hands" is the the phrase I'd thought I ever hear Jeff use to describe himself XD
Thanks for shouting out fingerboarding! It’s such a fun pass time that people can take as seriously or as casually as they want ❤
May i say using a tech deck is a million times harder to learn anything. It definitely helps to grab a board from teaktuning for 20 bucks and if you start getting good then upgrade to a expensive setup youll never regret it
13:52 I’m not a real dad, but I’m impressed, Jeff. You done good
Opus 0 video was a first thing that introduced me into fingerboard. To this day im still fingerboarding, even tho im not that pro but it has a lot of fun! Shredding on everywhere and anywhere. Nice vid btw
I really enjoy your editing, for a channel that has around 150k subs (as I am typing this comment), your content feels like a 1.5 million subs quality of editing, the videos are high quality, the content is high quality, yet you have less subscribers than most kids channels, I really think your videos are underrated, but still keep going and we will all support you, and I will be waiting patiently until you become an icon of KZhead, you can do it!
This video is awesome!! Thank you for making it
I love this so much!! Thank you for being awesome!! 🔥❤️🔥
Jeff, I'm in love with the attitude of the of this video. Just getting into something kinda dorky and embracing it for what it is. Keep them coming.
this channel is amazing. great work!
Your progression within a month is legitimatly impressive by the way! Greetings from Berlin where the dedicated fingerboard store _ASI Berlin_ (where you'll rum into actual world champions..) made me get stuck once more just as happened 20 years ago..
I subscribed after the skull trumpet video and then you come out with some sick skateboarding related topic! That was unexpected and awesome 😅
I didn't realize there was this whole community. I kinda want to get into it since I was obsessed with Tech Deck at the time
Jeffiot is amazing. I love the mundane element to this video- just a man expressing nostalgia and then showing off some sick skills!
i like the whole video, but i have to give props especially for the fingerborad compilation at the end. Nice editing and pacing and somehow relaxing for me^^
Your videos are excellent, hope to see more great stuff from you!
I really love that Neutral Milk Hotel album
Another video that lends credence to the thought that we have very similar lives
really nice video! fingerboard scene still exists, we still shred our mini skates! im so glad you talk about opus 0 alexis milant, this video is a piece of history for our passion!
The switch bs 5.0 was crazy. Only the real ones caught that. You actually took the time to learn switch. I think you are hooked now.
Coolest table i've ever seen tbh
Funky Table stealing the entire show
Pretty humble for a man who can land such fire tricks !
love the surfing clip, fingerboards hit me right in the nostalgia nuts
Nice jeff 🫡 keep fingerboarding 🫶 and more content about these 🔥
When I was 10, the neighbor kid from upstairs in my apartment building gave me his fingerboard. He said they were very expensive, so I'm not sure why he gave his board to me just like that, maybe he got bored with it. And I at the time was not interested in skateboarding. But nevertheless I took it to school with me the next week. There, one of my classmates, who was a very talented barter at heart, saw me carrying this miniature replica of skateboard around, and suggested we trade: he would give me his skateboard toy, which was not a fingerboard but a yellow metallic bottle opener on a keychain, shaped like a skateboard. It even had wheels that could spin. I said okay, because I held no value to the fingerboard. Who would know that the skate bottle opener would prove to be much more useful to me when I got older? I opened sooo many bottles with it. It's still somewhere out there in my parents house. So thank you Sasha, you don't even know how much use I got out of that trade.
Oddly wholesome. I hope Sasha got their joy from the fingerboard as well.
Awesome video, really love this channel!
jeffiot the goat
Fingerboards are and will be a part of my life. I had it when I was a kid and I have them now. I have one on my keychain and I use it when I'm bored or when I see a cool thing outside I can ride it on
That's a fun video. Keep it up shredding. 🤘🏻
as someone who is big into fingerboarding to this day, i can say your edit there wasn't even half bad. i'm impressed!
LETS GOO this is your first video I watched I had to sub I love the editing style
Hope this channel continues to grow 🎉
So glad your spreading the word about fingerboarding man. It’s funny because I’ve never once been made fun of for fingerboarding. And I do it in public while filming myself 💀 it must look so weird man. But everyone I know thinks it’s just the coolest thing.
I've never been directed to think about fingerboarding for longer than a few seconds, so I'm glad to find out it's pretty cool and takes a lot of dedication.
“Jersey barrier” is definitely the right name for one of those things. Here in the USA we just call them barriers and there’s even a skate crew called Barrier Cult that only films themselves skating those type of barriers
Im 24 years old and I Unironically enjoy finger boarding. It’s mad satisfying to slowly learn how to do more advanced stuff 😂
Been fingerboarding for about 7 years now, still love it!
I still fingerboard at 23, it’s really my only hobby now. I don’t think the stigma of it being goofy/dorky is wrong nor does it need to go away. It’s a hobby. People enjoy different things. I personally do it because it’s almost like a stress reliever. It’s fun to me. I don’t skate as much a I did when I was younger, my body hurts a lot more lol.
So grateful to grow up in the 90's, Y2K era. I loved & skated until I was 31. A few yrs ago. I love that u dove into the skate culture. Huge props to all these references. The Flip Sorry & Really Sorry videos & Baker 3 were some of my favorite skate videos as a teen. lol fingerboarding is a fun way to nerd out, as well as any other form of geeking out over skating lol *Have you tried "Hand Boarding?" it's much more satisfying than fingerboarding. It feels much more like skateboarding. I love this video 🤘🏻
that kf bs over crook was butter, I hope you get your flat face setup.
Mad respect for that little edit.
This video is a masterpiece. Thank you for giving it to the world.
amazing video dude
Dude, clean!
Sicks moves bro!
As a late 90's/early 00's skateboard/ punk guitar player, I'm so glad to see your experience being very similar to mine, even on the other side of the world. Stay rad!
Great video, love your humour
I swear to god, so far I have thoroughly enjoyed all the videos I've watched of you.
this is so friggin delightful
Damn homie you killed the montage 🔥 Great content man
Well we had a similar childhood... Anyway, something else to think of is many folk who used to skate might have health issues now and this is another way to stay involved with the whole scene.
Tech decks and battery sax on the wall, your my new best friend
Jeff i just want to say i love you and never stop making videos
