It's an April fools joke.

dick move by red bull

That's BULL shit. Get it? Bull as in red bull

But the flaming rail is still pretty cool...

I don't think it's making fun of it.

In any case, there's also a full interview with Mike Schneider on the Red Bull website.

I think it's really awesome. The skaters are just making it seem like a skater, when it's really a fingerboarding.
Which is not making fun of fingerboarding.
+ it's a great video, and there were some people who commented and were interestsd in fingerboarding
Good publicity!
Only lame part was where they were talking about his fingernail injury. Kinda makes it sound like a joke.

Also in agreement after watching it like 5 times and realizing that some of those skaters were actually telling the truth.

same.

^^
true

Yeah i dont see why ppl think its making fun of fbing...
it was clearly a joke whereas making fun of, is more like pointing and laughing.
I really liked the video. Had me laughing!

They are basically trolling all the skaters that were looking forward to see some new wonder kid. At the same time they break down the wall between fingerboarding and skateboarding by celebrating Mike Schneider.

I am also quoting something in this thread.

haha seriously though, this, exactly what they were trying to do. mike wouldn't have agreed to let them take the piss!

Also xi I cant find the interview with mike, someone link me?

oh shit Hes Back? I thought he had index finger tendonitis.

Epic.

Also.. I think my right hand would get the boner of all boners to hear such words from proskaters.

Mike must be pretty stoked.

Here you go Kerry







Interview

^that's not an interview haha.

It's a link click on the word my friend....

I think this video can be interpreted different ways.
Some people might see this and be like "so ghay, ride a real board".
Then you have the other half seeing it and saying "wow, wish I could do that, lets try" then the scene expands.
So I think it will help more then hurt.
A new fber in the scene last much longer then a asshole comment on YT.
That's my view on it atleast.

Also being such a coveted brand I think many eyes will fall on this video and many of those will be impressed.

I think it is fine! The way they introduced it was a bit of a joking matter but RedBull is by far not making fun of it. They are taking interest in the "phenomenon" if you will, spreading the world! They are just looking for more marketing and hey, if they help out the seen with more publicity as well as more events and competitions that would be super sick! Also, if you were at rendezvous.... you would know that the redbull girls actually showed up and handed out redbull for everyone for free. If it was a joke then there would be no free redbull at events. As well as that now Mike is SPONSORED by them. I talked to a couple guys from flatface at vous about it.
Not everyone is negative about everything. Take it loosely and let the haters hate!
