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

yessssss this! if you've ever showed a skateboarder fingerboarding before then you know what drake means

depends how open people are to the idea. I love just seeing people watch me when I'm hitting outdoor spots

Here's a test...
why did you start/become interested in fingerboarding?

So that I could become king of the virgins.

Fingerboarding is a cool concept and all, but I honestly think it's only cool if you believe it is. I do it because it's fun and I think it's a part of skateboarding, in a way. People at school say to me "It's cute that you play with tech decks" and i'm like "yeah, i guess" because i don't wanna seem like some toy collector or something. the people i hate the most, are the ones who say "why are you still playing with toys, you're 15 dude, grow up..."

Theres no such thing as cool since its only a matter of opinion, so if you do it you obviously think its cool enough to do, therefore yes it is cool. And it is cool. Because anyone, skater or not, that I show tell me its tight. Ive never had anyone diss me for fingerboarding. And I go around telling people I fingerboard, its a really big part of my life. Its a work of art and a talent. Setups are works of art, specially when its all 100% fingerboarder made. And the talent part, I dont even have to explain much more since its a fingerboard forum and you all remember how hard it was when you first started And if someone tells you to grow up, tell them you never will and that they should expand their understanding of life and will realize theyve got the wrong outlook.

Assuming you're 14 (by your profile), people in early high school/late middle school tend to judge a lot. As an older person, it's easy for me to say, "Don't worry about it. Do what you like to do and enjoy it," but sometimes it can be hard to do when your peers judge/make fun of you for it.

Just remember that anyone who tries to be cool by making fun of you is making a fool out of himself. Board on
