| I first got into stakeboarding around the 3rd and 4th grade and then got into fingerboarding in 7th grade.
I picked up fingerboarding because I already liked skateboarding.
So how many of you guys also skateboard that fingerboard?
Did skateboarding introduce you to fingerboarding?
Now, just for your opinion.
If someone only fingerboards and doesn't skateboard, does that make them any less of a fingerboarder?
I've always wondered about this because I can kickflip down a set of stairs with my fingerboard, but I can also kickflip down a set of stairs with my skateboard.

| I used to skate a ton, and I picked up a tech deck when I was a wee lad. Unfortunately I have no time to skateboard since I'm so busy with other projects.. /: But fingerboarding is great. It'll never be as good as the real thing, though. |

| If we look at skateboarding as sex, then fingerboarding is masturbating.
There's nothing wrong with wanking, but why not try and get laid? |

| Sometimes l like fingerboard simply for the fact that I can do crazy tricks and not get hurt.
I've had some bad falls while skateboarding and that's not so fun. |

| I can't afford skating but I definitely would if I could. I used to but lately I haven't had any money or parents wanting to buy me things. Soon I will start again though. |

| Lmfao Chris I skate, but I'm pretty shit at it, haha. Kind of gave up on it for the last 2 years because I had a girlfriend ¬_¬ Starting to pick it up again now, but I still don't get much time for it because of school and shit :/ I started fingerboarding like a year before skating, for the simple reason that I didn't know many skaters or have the confidence to try it, haha. |

I have been skating for around 10 years. I still dont have any flip tricks down. I don't ollie, grind or slide anything thats worth mentioning. But skateboarding is so fun. Just cruising around, trying for a few tricks. Feeling the wheels on the surface you ride. Never give up skating because you're not good. More on topic. I feel like skateboarding ads a lot to fingerboarding and makes it more fun. So yea, all of you non-skating fingerboard nerds, why don't you get a real skateboard? |
