Fingerboarding Thread.. Again.

[chinesed00d]

I know this thread has been posted before, but there was pretty much no discussion about the REAL topic, and it was all about the meaning of "gay"

anyway, I know that tons of people here fingerboard, and tons of people think it is stupid (see how i used stupid not gay? I'm not implying they are the same, it's just that....just.. ignore this.)

So, I skateboard, fingerboard, and cube. I cube a lot more than fingerboarding, but I have to admit, fingerboarding is fun. There are lots of fingerboarders out there, probably more than cubers, and the reason I find it fun is because I can do things and tricks and combos that I DEFINITELY will never be able to on a skateboard. I just did a clean laserflip to nosegrind and then a bigspin flip. I'd like to see somebody to that on a skateboard. anyway, I'm a sponsored fingerboarder from 3 companies and I'm just really good, I'm better at fingerboarding than cubing. The only thing that I hate about fingerboarding is that for Cubing, there are a lot more adults and a wider and more diverse community. Fingerboarders are mostly 10 year old kids swearing and buying hundreds of dollars worth of fingerboarding stuff, and It is very hard to sort through the kids that suck at fingerboarding and people that are more mature and are good.

anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts on fingerboarding..

Fingerboarding is fun, I used to do it. I was trying to find my old Tech Deck a bit ago because Gary Chin started uploading videos more frequently, and I wanted to see how much skill I still have .

Gary!

Yeah, I never got that into it to start buying the stuff, but I'm well aware of the pro hardware.
