Soo.. I work as an assistant teacher at this school in town.
This monday a kid brought a Tech Deck to school and i couldn't resist the urge to show off a few tricks. Next day a kid more had one, and its more or less becomming the new "thing" among these kids.

So basically what i do in every break now, is fingerboarding (and getting paid )

My point with this thread is that i would like to help the kids as much as possible and show them what fingerboarding is about.

I'm going to make them some wooden decks and help them adjusting their setups perfectly.
If anyone has some spare trucks/tuning/tape.. well anything.. Then lets talk on PM and see if we can work out a deal. I can't afford to spend a lot of money on these kids tho, so "charity deals" only.

Links to child friendly videos are also more than welcome.


Thanks.

Hey Aaron.

If you don't find the subject of this thread interesting you are welcome to ignore it and not post in it.

I am simply sharing what i think is a fun experience that i have had. And at same time taking a chance to see if anyone would have some beginner stuff that they don't need so that these kids could get to have fun with it instead.

So please don't spam the thread, thank you.

wtf aaron, that was totally pointless and uncalled for. you've got yourself a warning.

I'm all for memes as jokes, and in moderation, but that wasn't funny, it was just boring spam. Or it certainly looked that way. Especially when this is a really cool project someone is doing!

EDIT: Mikkel, I fixed your spelling, haha (that's your name right? I think it said that under your name on ffi)

Thanks Kerry.

Yea, Mikkel is my name

Hey Mikkel,

I think what you're doing is really cool, and I know that if I had an opportunity like that when I was a school I would of loved it!

Anyway I have a Redemption MMC (I think I used it once) which I would be more than happy to send if you would like it to give to one of the kids.

Let me know in a PM in you're interested.

thats such a cool story man, would love to do that

thats a cool story! "while thinking" I WANT THAT TEACHER!

you should send a message to nolliewheels they sponsored my project and my event.

Thank you for the support guys.

This is really cool, but how are you being payed to play with children?

Ask +BRR+ or something, they might provide but hope everything goes well with it tell them about the online scene and about making videos and stuff like that when they become involved with it all.

But awesome to see you're getting people involved and stuff.

Do you get payed because you're a teacher or.........



Joke:


Michael Jackson played with children and didn't get payed!?

I get payed because i am doing this while i am at work, so its not really But i thought more people would look with a headline like that

I have just mailed BRR, Close Up and Nolliewheels. I have also received some offers from private donators.

I have set my goal to collect 10 good beginner setups for the school so that the kids will be able to borrow these. And i will make some kind of system so that they can take them home for a few days if they want to.

This is great!

Im sure if you were desperate you could get nollie wheels or prowood to sponser but trust me use these at your last option.


Anyway im sure Redemption and No comply would be able to sponser. Maybe Flatface too!


Im sure if you just contact the companies you want to sponser.

what if all the parents get pissed that a 20 year old man is playing with their kids??? how old are these kids and id be better if you made it to a club.

Noel, there's a difference between a teacher being sociable with students and a pedophile

Dude it was just a joke

If you ask me, I don't see a joke in that.

I would like if you would keep your pedophile thoughts to yourselves.
I am trying to get people into our scene here and it is demotivating to hear comments like that.

Also, tho i have no first hand experience with Nolliewheels, i have heard loads of good about them. And I'm sure their wheels will be good enough for my project, if not then i will send them back.

WTF? I was simply stating something thats true, a fuckin' school wouldn't employ a fucking pedophile.

My post was aimed towards Noel, and everyone who would post the same kind of nonsense.

LETS STOP WITH THE PEDO JOKES. SRS. Not funny, nor is it clever.

PLEASE don't contact nolliewheels if you want to show people legit fingerboarding. Companies that have got high up for not the right reasons don't support fingerboarding 100%. Steer clear from nollie, prowood, 4corner, any other company selling china products, etc, etc.

UNLESS you don't tell the kids what the companies are. Its not the quality of nollie that makes them bad, but things they've done in the past that and their ethics, etc.

Otherwise, this is awesome stuff

im gonna stop now as those jokes arnt funny.

I actually didn't know that Nolliewheels were all china, i remember them from back in the days and they seemed legit then..

I'll keep that in mind

No, you'r sense of humour just isn't funny.

I don't think they are made in china, they're legitly made wheels, just not legit for other reasons. Long story, cba going into it.
