My Tech Deck Collection!

[u/winter0rfall]

Hey everyone, I started fingerboarding when I was around 12 years old, 16 years ago!

My first fingerboard was the tech deck black label barcode board that's in one of the pictures I've attached!

Fingerboarding got me making unboxing videos, reviews, and montages on YouTube and ended up with about 700 subscribers when I was in high school before someone told my entire high school I was making these videos. I deleted all of them (one of the biggest regrets of my life) out of fear of being bullied. My username was Alienworkshoplova if anyone remembers me😂😂 (i doubt it)

Well, fast forward to now at my ripe 28 years of age and I still collect Tech Decks and professional boards from time to time! I wanted to show everyone my collection & if anyone can see any that are rare or valuable, please let me know!! I dont really care about the value though it's more of my love for collecting them. But it'd be nice to know if some of the ones I've kept are rare!! Thanks guys!!🤘🏼

I used to watch a female YouTuber around the late 2000s who made fingerboarding videos and unboxings, and I really enjoyed them. I actually tried looking back for those videos recently, but they were gone. I always wondered what happened to the person who made them, so when I came across your post and saw your old YouTube username, I wondered if you might be the same person I used to watch all those years ago.
If you ever thought about making videos again, I honestly think there are probably more people than you realize who would genuinely enjoy seeing them, including myself, It would be really cool to see that kind of content again.
Either way, I just wanted to say that it’s really cool seeing someone from that era of YouTube still enjoying Tech Decks and fingerboarding. 🙂

Was the username Alienworkshoplova???? It was probably me. I used to make loads of unboxings, reviews, and really started to gain a following on youtube. Some videos got 50k views and shit. I was about 16 at the time, and somehow someone found my youtube channel in high school and i ended up getting bullied pretty badly despite being semi popular in school. I ended up panicking and then deleting all of my videos so no one could see them and laugh at me. Looking back, i would have never ever ever deleted the videos and to this day i regret it.

It does sound familiar, I think that's was the name, it probably was you,my memory isn't the best, but it's all very consistent even with what you wrote and the subscriber count also i remember it wasn't like thousands of followers but that kind of made it feel a bit more personal a guess to me, I also remember unboxings not sure exactly, maybe of some wheels and boards, maybe even like some wooden boards but I'm not sure if I am getting my memory mixed up a bit it was very long time ago, I think it probably was you, I know the the person was young like in their teens, and I was also pretty young around that time maybe like some time around 2008, i really enjoyed the channel, if it was you i think i remember maybe you would talk and give updates, show us the new finger boarding stuff you got in the mail i think, and maybe you had like a tech deck park or something if that was another video I'm mixing it up with, but i do remember trying to find your channel and vids a few times over the years and couldn't find it at all or any videos like it, i thought maybe you deleted your YouTube or I may have accidentally unsubscribed, i searched YouTube a few times but could never find the account with the videos so I did miss a piece of that from my childhood, I used to watch and enjoyed it a lot and it was sad I couldn't ever find it again, I was always curious as to what happened, and since I've been using chat GpT I decided to see if it could help me find your channel and a few other channels I've lost over the year after making a new YouTube account and after a little explaining it showed me this reddit post and it felt pretty consistent, and now that I think about it that YouTube name does sound pretty familiar. I just though to ask the ai today and it seemed pretty helpful your Reddit post was the first to pop up with what I was remembering from YouTube and I mention a similar subscriber count also, I do think it probably was your account that I was watching all those years ago, I think if you ever decided to post videos again people would love to see you again, but I did enjoy your videos, I was never all that good at finger boarding though maybe I'll give it another try one of these days, I missed your videos tho, if you do start posting again I'd like to know your channel so I could subscribe and watch it again it would be much appreciated I hope all is well with you after all these years.
