It bugs me that some parents are totally against it, yet they'd have no problem with their kids going out and getting a bit drunk at age 15, because that's 'normal'. #gjparents

THIS!

Also, contrary to what Kat said, my parents have always been supportive. Never always understood, but always supportive. My dad's even started watching my videos every now and again, was stoked I got onto Unite, and likes to see new decks I've got. My sister's even gone from thinking it was retarded to secretly wishing she could do it

Ok, my parents weren't particularly supportive of it, but that's just because they're my parents and don't show much enthusiasm for anything.

I was a little rough before but my parents are pretty supportive when I was in Berlin in the BRR store I said how I wanted a fingerboard park but BRR parks are so expensive then he said we could build one of those ourselves and then we got some wood glue etc and started building so they are pretty supportive

That is properly awesome. You'll love it all the more for having built it with him as well

My Dad helps me build ramps and stuff. But they think that fingerboarding is overpriced, they also don

The park isn't finished yet because we haven't had time to work on it.
We will probably finish it soon tho

yes and they hate the noise but they put up with it

And I never tell them if I'm ordering something ... I just do it secretly from my debit card... simple as that

When i got my first cheap setup mum thought it was okay, she hates the noise though so i cant fingerboard in the living room or anything. She thinks its a bit much to spend on something so small but supports me because i enjoy it so much

My mum always tells me to stop 'wasting' money on fingerboard stuff, she just learns to deal with it now though.

Both my parents are really supportive. My dad allways helps me make ramps/decks, but the biggest part he like is that im filming and editing. (My dad works with cameras)

My Mom always let me use her paypal when i want to order anything.
And i guess my brother thinks its cool that i got 130 subs.

Also it seems like all the people that i've met have been most amazed when i do an ollie

They just think its overpriced but as long as i dont flunk my grades, they'd actually buy more for me.

My mom buys my stuff sometimes. But now I buy my own stuff. My dad doesn't care but no fingerboarding on the furniture but i don't think he really cares anymore.

My fiance doesnt like the noise much, but we bought ipods...

She likes me spending alittle money on FB instead of this... < thing of beauty... A working rig can get into the $1000 dollar range quick... :/
