| I think its annoying that these days anyone who doesn't do it is seen as a bad fber.. Pretty much, unless they've got AMAZING skills.. some of the guys on NWDC don't do it and everyone thinks they're amazing fbers, because they are : o I cant do it, because I can't really control my hand if I don't. I don't want to lower my fb skills just to look a teeny bit better. You can have mad style without doing it imo, and thats what I intend to get one day |

| i find switch/nollie easier curled...but i ride not curled....i dont think it should matter..theirs no end of people who do it not curled. just cos i ride not curled doesn't mean i use 3 fingers though some days i try riding curled all the time....in the end i just go back to whats natural.... keep it real |

| I think it's gay if you don't curl. I used to tape my other fingers down so I could teach myself. Styles look sooo sketchy when you don't |

| yea, true that blosom. Tuck is suck, haha XD I fb because its fun and I more than love it. I cant have fun when I'm tucked. Also, when I'm not having fun, I cant do as good a tricks. Like, when I'm not having a fun fb sesh I cant get like, 10 flip 5-0s in a row, but, I got that earlier because I had a super fun sesh. Flip front finger 5-0, then switch flip front finger 5-0, in a line. Because fun makes me better ^_^
I think if someone did proper interesting tricks, and didn't have fingers tucked, I'd enjoy it more than watching tucked fingers and the same really good tricks. Like, some people have mad skills, but, its getting like skateboarding, everyone is just doing the same stuff over and over and, yea, I want some interesting tricks! Stuff that isn't as skilled maybe, but interesting, something thats creative and took thought. Watching that with non tucked fingers would wayy beat another person tucking with madd good tricks that have all been done before : o |

| tbh when i watch videos of people fb'ed i dont think one person is better than another person because they tuck...even if they are both the same skill level.... in relativity 2 one of the standout parts for me was tim hurley......not a tuck in sight i might ad |

| Tim Hurley is greaaaat. but he'd be greater if he tucked.
Like Ethan Ebling used to not tuck, and now that he does he's just 123456789876543 times better. |
