Ok so I have a friend who I really want to get into fingerboarding, so I gave him one of my old tech decks. He thinks its pretty cool looking, but he is the kind of kid that is worried about self image, and keeps asking me, "is it cool?" what should I say? Fingerboarding isn't very popular where I live.

Lol nope

Nobody cares i fingerboard at school all the time so not really cool but nothing to worry about

I wouldn't say it's cool actually.
It's fun! That's what you should do it for

it depends a lot on the POV I have friends who think it's interesting and ask me some stuff about it but that lasts like a week, some people just think it's straight up dumb

I've learned that you shouldn't try and impress people that treat you like shit. If people will make fun of you for fingerboarding then they'll make fun of you for anything else. Tell your friend if he likes it to do it. Life sucks if you are constantly worried about what others think.

well said!
Never do anything because its "cool"
people wanna feel comfy and fit in.. but were all individuals and have our own thing to do and should surround our selfs with only people who understand who they are and who you are... not a bunch of dickweeds who are Koool.

Ok look, fingerboarding is totally not a cool thing to do.




















FINGERBOARDING IS SO SWAG I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!

No but seriously, I fingerboard around everyone. No one really cares and if someone says something mean about it I just totally ignore it because I think it's fun ooor I say something ironic right back.

no

exactly^

if he doesn't want to do it because it isn't cool then he shouldn't do it. IMO if something you do isn't worth defending then it isn't worth doing.

Gilla

who cares what other people think just do what you want

I think the concept of it is cool, like being able to do skate tricks with your fingers but in the eyes of someone who has never heard or seen fingerboarding would think it's just someone playing with a toy therefore you would be considered "uncool". Once people get to realize what it is, then they start to think it's pretty cool.

Best answer bro

thats wack. Im not nerdy at all but i fingerboard. I just dont give a shit what people say. If anything most people just ask me about it. But I dont think fingerboarding is right for your friend if he is really that worried about what people are gonna think. like skeep said, if he aint gonna defend it, he shouldnt be a part of it.

you tech deck? loser

 

i mean my setup is around $150, i wouldn't blow money on

exaaaaactly how i feel. i mean, like if you can and will put money towards it, why would you not love it? its like a car.

I personally don't care what people think about me fbing. Personally I think people here find it cool.

Fingerboarding is the coolest. For reals. All skateboarders respect it if you can actually fingerboard properly. Its cool because its fun.

I tell some of my friends about fingerboarding, and pretty much all of the time (sometimes after I explain what it is) they think it's cool. Not that I'd go around saying I fingerboard, but my friends don't mind it.
