This shit was like fidget spinners before those were a thing, every crackhead boy in my class had one and I could hear them doing tricks over their notebooks and shit
No joke, my seventh grade English teacher would confiscate any tech deck boards from students and mount them up on the top of his whiteboard, all uniformly lined up one by one and open for everyone to see. It was in his course syllabus and everything. A few students even brought in tech decks just for the sake of having them added to his collection. By the time I graduated from high school, he had been promoted to principal of that middle school.
i remember i sat at a table with other kids that had a bunch of these. my hs doesn’t have tables anymore because of covid and i’m sad, some of those kids even moved schools :(
Heck yeah, I had a whole bin full of these guys back in the day. The funny thing is, I don’t think I ever knew they were supposed to be “fingerboards”, I just remember making the dudes fight.
These were banned at my middle school in denver because so many of us would play with them during class lol oh good times lol the guy who sat next to me in social studies would lean over and whisper not “hey can I borrow a pencil” it was “hey can I borrow your tiny screw driver, one of my wheels is loose”
@@triggeredcat120 i wish i had the legendary charizard card lol. All i was lucky to get was a new redesign of winged dragon of ra YUGIOH card with the artist signature from shonen jump monthly magazine. I saw online its estimately going for $100-150
I just googled these and got a good giggle. 😭 How hilarious! The only justification for these would be if there was an actual toy to go with them, that way the shoes could be for fingers and a toy.
My mom took them away from me as a kid and used them as a nail filer. She thought the "standing grip" part was similar texture to the grit on a nail filer and basically rubbed her nail powder all over some rare boards I managed to get via trades with friends
This just suddenly reminded me of my wood shop teacher 4 or 5 years back that had some wood scraps sitting on the demo table to something about the table saw on our current project. It was just a block of wood but he just starting going off about how important it is to not always just ditch scraps because "they can be useful to plenty of things, like adding to the project, or inspiration for a new one or-" And then he just pulls a Tech Deck out of his pocket and grinds off the side of this wood block- "as a new piece to add with your half pipe." Mr James, I'll never forget you and your out of nowhere gold.
@@CharliMorganMusic if I recall correctly, I was trying to do a trick with it, slammed my hand down with the force of God so I wouldn't lose the Tech Deck, missed the board entirely, and instead smashed my little 7 year old fingers into my grandparent's granite counter top hard enough and at the right angle to fracture my middle finger
@@I_Cypher even funnier was that my grandpa watched the whole deal go down. Asked him about it and he said I briefly paused, stared for a second and then screamed like a middle school fire alarm
When I was younger I always prefered regular tech decks over the tech deck dudes when I wanted to play skateboarding, but if I wanted to play with say action figures I wouldn't be shy to pull out my hockey mask tech deck dude ':D Edit: also Tech Deck Dudes always reminded me of ThumbThumbs from Spy Kids
Billiam really just has a wheel-less skateboard hung up as an abstract art installation next to a CRT in the year 2021, and not a single person even questions it.
lmao yeah dude it's common to hang up artistic surf and skateboards once you actually go places that have large swaths of those demographics. Especially California, since that's where it was invented.
My only memory of these was a guy tried using one of the bigger ones on the school bus in elementary school and the bus stopped too fast. Let’s just say it busted my nose open and blood went everywhere.
My cousin broke my nose with one. It happened so fast that I don’t even know how it happened. One second my cousin was flipping it around and the next it hit me in the face and I was bleeding everywhere.
I love how pretty much every single video you release just reaches into a deep part of my brain and pulls out childhood memories of toy commercials that I'd completely forgotten about.
Bro I remember in elementary my teacher would let students bring toys on fridays and I would always bring these! I also remember putting on of my favorite blue haired rocker guy into the microwave and turning it on for a minute then crying because it looked like burned glob of bread dough 😂 My next favorite was a Blue Frankenstein's Monster LOL
@@dirckthedork-knight1201 I was just a dumb kid 😅 I was just really curious about things and what would happen haha Like now that I'm thinking about it, I remember that I put some pliers close to an outlet and it created a spark 🙄
I still have some of my tech deck dudes in my closet. I got rid of some I didn't really like anymore and kept the ones I loved. They were too personal to get rid of all of them. I used to carry them everywhere.
Tech Deck Dudes were my favorite toys as a kid. Since there was no defined story, I was able to make them up as I went along. I took inspiration from the games and had my story take place in Freaktown with Jack being the main character. I lost many along the way, but it was a good time, and good memories. I recognized a bunch from the video and remembered how they fit into my little story.
@@MASTEROFEVIL, If you've ever seen the inside of a stationary shelving unit, you'll know that's fully possible, lol. They never open those things up to clean.
Being someone who always wanted to be able to do tricks on a board, but can't even pull off an ollie, I must admit that the longboard definitely is a great board if you just want to get from point A to B. Due to it's softer and larger wheels, it's a hell of a lot smoother than a regular board. If you want to start boarding but don't want to eat pavement, buy a longboard. You won't regret it.
WOW, that’s a throwback. I vaguely remember pretending to think these things were cool for like a week or two just like all the other boys my age back in Elementary School.
Tech Decks had a little resurgence in my high school about 8 years ago and they got banned from school because kids kept stacking school supplies to do tricks on during class. xD
I remember getting the van-former set for this stuff, it was a tech deck dude van that transformed into a skate park. One of the coolest Christmas gifts I've ever gotten.
I use to love to do some *RADICAL,COOL,TOTALLY WICKED* skateboard trick with Tech Deck. So that's nice and I love it,also every Billiam is just perfection and I love it,and hope you have a good day, *DUDE.*
I LOVED Tech Dudes when I was a kid. I had a whole bunch of the pre-arm ones, some that were even color variants, and a half pipe, rail, bowl, all kinds of park pieces. The oldest ones attached to boards with pegs, and they introduced magnetic ones later. Definitely spent a looooot of time in my room playing with them instead of cleaning or doing homework
Billy: They're not beans... They're THUMBS. 6 year old Me, through a time warp of 20 years: *begins shaking, tears forming* Horrifying, I want the 20 year old conception of them being beans BACK IN MY BRAIN, PLEASE AND THANK
I never had tech decks myself but I remember one time in 5th grade art class these two boys were playing with theirs. One of them was playing with his on the rim of this bucket our table group was using to wash paint off our paintbrushes in, and... his tech deck fell into the bucket of dark, gross water. The look on both their faces was priceless. They weren't supposed to be playing with them so the kid has to sneakily try to dunk his entire hand in the water and feel around for his now paint-covered skateboard and fish it out
Anybody else remember getting those tiny little alien figures for a quarter at Toys R Us and then making them ride Tech Decks or am I having a Bernstein Bears situation?
I can't get over how these videos always end up dredging up this memories from my subconscious. Yesterday I couldn't have told you about these but now I remember the commercials and the happy meal boards I had as a kid.
It’s so refreshing to hear someone talk about Fingerboarding in a way that’s not insulting people who are good at it and take it serious. It’s been a hobby of mine since I was a kid like everyone else (I’m 23 now). Getting good to even capable at fingerboarding isn’t easy. It took me 6 months to learn how to cleanly Ollie. Another 4 to learn a kick flip. The amount of hand coordination you have to have to pull off any tricks is intense. There’s an entire industry of fingerboarding as a serious skill and hobby. Grip tape specifically made for gripping fingers (cause grip like a real skateboard as no friction with hands, it’s just sandpaper), wooden boards, trucks, and bearing wheels that reach real skateboard prices, companies like Black River and Yellowood with sponsored members, and a lot more. I usually keep this hobby to myself because 99.9% of people who see it immediately antagonize, saying “Why don’t you learn to really skateboard!” or “Isn’t that toy for kids?”, Nevermind the fact that I do skateboard, as well as most people into fingerboarding. Most people see it and just assume the only reason you get good at it is that you are too scared to learn to skateboard or are just a loser only good at 1 thing.
the ad spot for Downhill Dudes will always fuck me up. the fucking narrator, lmfao i can't. he just sounded so thoroughly disinterested in the product he's advertising, i love this guy
I collected Tech Decks as a kid. Recently i quit smoking and needed something to do with my hands so i picked up my tech decks. In a way Tech Deck saved my life
It's so weird how every video you make is like walking back through every toy and video game and show I could get my hands on growing up. I'm running out of your content to watch. I even made it through the insane amount of scooby doo and sonic stuff. It's like a shot full of nostalgia every time. Thanks for making these videos man.
I totally suppressed my memories of how into Tech Deck I was as a kid until you whipped out the half-pipe and remembered I had that same set plus some of the additional ramp addons that could all be interchangeably snapped to one another!
Yooo I had so many of these, I loved tinkering with them swaping the wheels and struts and stuff making them different colors and trading them with friends. Tech Deck was the jam back in the day.
I remember for me one of the most aesthetically pleasing things was changing out the boards with diff tech dudes and finding an ultimate color combination with your fav dudes. ah good times
This reminds me of a toy I used to love as a kid but I can't for the life of me remember. But basically combine Transformers + Tech Deck Dudes. They were skateboarding transforming robots and they had a bunch of hot wheel like tracks to skate/drive on.
I loved these things. In the late 2000's they made a surge again, and I was in 6th grade. So many of my classmates got into it. Teachers got so annoyed at us because they were loud on the desks and we'd play SKATE at lunch and in class during any free time. Everyone who didn't play with them hated them haha. After about 2 years they seemed to fizzle out and people forgot about them. Once you learn the Ollie and the kick flip everything else gets easy. I also learned to actually skate in 7th grade too, but I wasn't ever very good at it. Still fun though
man, i remember owning a whole COLLECTION of tech deck dudes. however, the ones i owned were the larger characters that came with their own miniature character as a "sidekick" of sorts. one of my favorites was a scarecrow dude with a removable head. his sidekick was a crow.
Yess i remember these lol, I was surprised the other day when I saw these still in Walmarts! I used to have the bikes, skateboards, one from McDonald's or something, and the skate park ramps. Never had a dude but i saw em. I never rode one tho, just appreciated skater culture lol.
I had an embarrassing amount of Tech Deck Dudes as a kid lol AND THAT TECH DECK DUDES PC GAME!! Damn, a wave of nostalgia hit me when I saw that disc lol
I've seen a video or two on UA-cam or somewhere about a guy who makes custom ones and actually makes a living doing it. Yes custom fingerboards. It was awesome
I remember seeing some Finesse skateboards with Sonic characters on the back. (The one with Mephiles is especially cool.) They also made Tech Decks of these
"They're not beans... They're thumbs."
I am genuinely shocked. It's not often that happens. But I'm shook. XD
I thought they were worms or slugs!!
I thought they were dics

Boys had these awesome things marketed to them. We girls had Shoezies, which were so painful they should have had the tag line “Goodbye cuticles!”

The best skateboarding trick I've ever done outside of a video game is putting a foot on a board then immediately landing on my face
wHoA that's sooo EPIC!!
I landed on my ass.
i popped one half of an ollie
Radical
I once magaged to go forward consistently
I even managed to make slight turns.
I then decided that i sufficiently masteted the skateboard
My mom took them away from me as a kid and used them as a nail filer.

That's terrible what the fuck

Why??? emery boards are cheap as hell, this would have been so expensive and pointless even if they weren't rare given the in store cost of the decks

Tech Deck, Winx Club, Dinotopia...man, your are living rent-free in my head.
Yess i remember these lol, I was surprised the other day when I saw these still in Walmarts! I used to have the bikes, skateboards, one from McDonald's or something, and the skate park ramps. Never had a dude but i saw em. I never rode one tho, just appreciated skater culture lol.
Loved growing up playing Little Ricks Skate Park
Aw man I loved Tech Deck Dudes!!
I couldn’t get enough of them .
The way billiam says pokemon: “Pokaymarn” 🤣🤣
Tech Deck: The 2000's toy every kid brought with them to school.
I sit and think and wallow in my sadness, but then I see you've uploaded a video and the world is right again. Thank you. 😁
I had an embarrassing amount of Tech Deck Dudes as a kid lol
AND THAT TECH DECK DUDES PC GAME!! Damn, a wave of nostalgia hit me when I saw that disc lol
I lived in Santa Cruz growing up and i had a TON of the SC tech decks i always thought it was so cool
God I remember my tech deck dudes. One of them was a weird robot mecha dude whose profile said his favorite tv show was "Gundam Wing".
I've seen a video or two on UA-cam or somewhere about a guy who makes custom ones and actually makes a living doing it. Yes custom fingerboards. It was awesome
Man I was obsessed with tech deck dudes. And I had a ton of the regular finger boards too when I got a bit older.
Loved tech decks so much I had almost the entire park, so much fun
I remember seeing some Finesse skateboards with Sonic characters on the back. (The one with Mephiles is especially cool.)
They also made Tech Decks of these
