Fingerboard decks

Vegas Fingerboards is a deck company owned by Raymond Rivera. The company is one of the first fingerboard companies to offer a wide range of performance decks and is also known for being one of the more hardcore themed companies in the early American fingerboarding scene. The team was also known for its strickly transitional fingerboarding with only a few expections.

Concept

In the early stages of the American fingerboarding scene, Vegas fingerboards set many standards as both a company and a team. The theme for fingerboarding was one of rebelion, hard metal music and darker themed videos. The style of fingerboarding was heavy in huge stair sets and rails, mimicking realistic transitional skateboarding. With Vegas in the forefront of the American scene, most of the other fingerboarders copied the style and praised the "take no shit" addittued of the riders and especially the company owner; Raymond Rivera.

Over the years Vegas has produced decks in a wide selection of styles and perhaps the first to offer true performance decks. The list of decks are:

The decks also came with company styled graphics in both pro signature and series styled decks.
