| seriously there's so many fucking fingerboard blogs these days it's ridiculous. The only one I actually follow is Unite, and sometimes FBTV. But really I see these comments like
"Hey sick I put this video on my blog fbspotkittycat.orangesoda.friendshipforever.com/winnebagofarts !"
like, the fuck is that. do other people actually follow these blogs or is it just me who is like "i don't get it" |

| Yea, it seems pretentious and annoying, but when you think of it, they are just letting people know that they posted their stuff somewhere.
If i posted one of your vids on my blog, wouldn't you like to know? |

| Lol, Ben. I have noticed the same thing. But as Mikkel said, they enjoyed your video, and are trying to get your name out I have nothing against people who start blogs, but I'm gonna laugh really hard if it becomes a trend haha. |

| The only fingerboard blogs I follow are Unite, sometimes FBTV, Blosom, Cyclone, Ace (but Bart doesn't regularly post), Tech Deck's Facebook. I think Fingercan is cool too although I can't read it. |

| Meh. IMHO, most of these blogs kinda do it for fame and for a chance to get free stoof to review, wanting to be like unite so I don't follow them really. |

| I only follow Unite and Blosom.
All the blogs don't really bother me, as long as they're just doing it for fun. If it's for fame/free stuff like Oscar said, there isn't really a point to follow them. |

| I totally respect everyone's right to start a blog. HOWEVER.. some of the names, and then their names mixed with subdomains, do make me laugh. like 'it's on asdjaskljdlkajsd.mooo.nipples.indianfingerboardershot4u.com.uk.nz.gbp.sek' Like.. a .com is soo cheap, if these people wanted to take their blogs serious enough to do it every day, why not buy a domain? You're talking like £6 a year. That's probably the thing that I don't get most |

| I have no problem with people who start blogs but it's when people don't commit to it and just do it for pure fame and free stuff. I think it's great that there are more blogs because it gets the word out about fingerboarding and different fingerboarders. I have found some of my favourite fingerboarders through blogs and I doubt I would have found them if I hadn't looked at blogs. My favourite blogs are Unite, FBTV and the Blosom blog because Unite and FBTV are updated everyday and Blosom is updated quite regularly. Unite and Blosom also have taught me more about the UK scene and how big it is as I had no clue about a scene in the UK before I saw Unite and Blosom. Unite and FBTV and updated everyday and I can see the best photos and videos in the world, I can also see new products and reviews from different points of views. If all these small blogs started to follow Unite, FBTV and Blosom etc I would have no problem with it but obviously they shouldn't just copy them otherwise I won't check it. I think I've summed up my thoughts there, but yeah. |
