The fingerskateboard appeared for the first time around 1985 in the form of a plastic key ring. It remains developed by hand and locally for almost 15 years, by skateboard enthusiasts from all over the world. His practice then remained little known until 2000, when the first plastic replicas were released on the market, but still not providing the satisfaction of a fingerskateboard adapted to the discipline.

Thanks to the precursors of the 90s, such as Damien Bernadet,

Tony Pauthex, Matt Johnson, Martin Winkler… the technique has become more professional and the phenomenon has developed to a large extent to now affect the 5 continents.

These pioneers of the miniature phenomenon have allowed the development of the Fingerskateboard discipline, and Close Up © "finest fingerskateboards", founded in 2006, finally offers suitable wooden boards.
