LOL.

I used to never be able to tuck but I have been teaching myself for like the last 2 days and it gives me wayyy more steeze and looks so much more pro. Plus it makes my tricks cleaner and helps heaps with nollie tricks

see guys just try it but dont force it

ok, so ive been trying to ride tucked for the last 2 days and im getting there, its just id rather ride not tucked cos it feels more natural and im 'better' like that basicly.........

what i want to know is this, to all you tuckers........

does it get easier, like when you guys used to ride not tucked, and now you do, does it feel more natural tucked now?....and could you go back to riding not tucked or do you think riding tucked has made you a better fingerboarder?...any help is much apprecated

it was hard for me to get used to tucked, but now when i un-tuck, it feels way wrong...IMO seems to give me more control too...but what do I know other than I suck

Yeah, it gets normal. I can't fingerboard untucked now. It just takes time. I mean I taped my fingers down for like a week, and I thought I would never be as good tucked as I was untucked. But I finally got used to it. and now its like a sixth sensee.

i got used to it pretty quick and it gets your other fingers out of the way on camera

so ive been riding like all day curled and i have to say im getting used to it, and its starting to feel natural......also it looks beter,cleaner and i can do everything i did b4 only more pro looking.......if your serious about fingerboarding i think you need to learn to curl.....anyone whos half decent on a fingerboard curls.......also i thought id never get used to it, but in a matter of 4 hours ive got it

thanks im glad im a tucker

yay blosommm
I'm glad I was part of the tuckers who pushed you.

yea I forgot tim hurley was shit.. oh wait.. >_<
I get that it looks good, but, nah, not convinced I'm going to make fbing not fun for myself just to be like everyone else. If I don't deserve subscribers or am no longer considered good because I don't curl my fingers, then, oh well, enjoy being close minded.

ok, maybe i put that wrong kerry........i watched relativity 2 again and was looking out for people curling. and everyones does/or tries to do it....even tim hurley tries to do it, but he gets after hes landed his tricks....ok, i agree its not essential, and i was with you 2 days ago........BUT, i gave it a try, HATED IT....today i tried it again, the day b4 i realised i was trying to hard to force myself to do it, and today i curled for about 4 hours fingerboarding, now it feels natural and even when i pick my deck up and bust a trick not thinking about it, my fingers are curled.

i for one was convinced i couldnt do it, and never could, but a little effort, and ive got it, and im affraid to say im sticking with it, because it makes my fingerboarding soooo much cleaner, and it feels 'right' now....so much so that when i try to ride uncurled it doesnt happen.....

a little effort for progress is good in my book

True.

I find I do it naturally sometimes, like, when I do this sort of invert stall on a quarter I dont know the name of, then come back down and my fingers are curled, but if I try to do anything from that without un curling my fingers I feel all sketchy. my fingers get out the way when they need to, and a lot of the time rather than curling, they stick out horizontal infront of me and I land finger pointed vertical.

I'm glad you've found it and it works for you, to each their own.
I just hate that anyone looking at my videos is gonna think 'eugh no finger curling his tricks must be shit'.
I've tried it, but, I cant really get it. I cant control my other arm when I fb, it twitches. If I try to hold it on my side or behind my back, I cant fb. When I skate my fingers make the most fucked up weird things.. theres pictures of me doing treflips where my hands are doing death metal 'claw' hands and I don't even realise. It just happens. I cant even play xbox without moving the controller like a tard. It doesn't bother me, I just cant do stuff like that, I have no rhythm. Its just annoying seeing everyone is soo close minded to what could be good fingerboarding just because of two fingers that aren't on the board.

To each their own, is all I'm saying. I wish it didn't matter.

all im saying kerry is, i was totally not up for it....it doesnt bother me, but i gave it a try and within 4 hours fingerboarding im just as good tucked, and now it feels strange untucked....it might take a little while getting used to, but i do think it is for the better though.....'better' meaning it 'looks' cleaner, thats all.....not it makes you a better fingerboarder

and your fingerboarding will always be epic imo kerry, switch hospital......oh yeah
