I have been fingerboarding for wayy over a year but haven't had the time or willing to practice as much.. so im still struggling on basics (heelflips are out of guestion and flips are horrible ) but after joining this forum i've gotten a new start at all this !  

Edit: oh and the first trick i ever learned was horrible looking sketchy pressure inward heelflips

ive had a lot of sponsors that put me on the team and then close the company a month later lol

Ive never bought my ytrucks new
Ive never bought flatface wheels or winklers new
I carry two setups with me wherever I go
During school I bring a ledge in my backpack and sesh in the middle of class

i cant really do any switch or nollie tricks

My first deck, was a No Comply m2 Wide.
First set of professional bearing wheels, were Roll 9's
Never been featured on a blog.
I've spent over $3,000 on fingerboarding products.
I've never bought a brand new set of brts all of them were given to me, or traded for.
I've never used a brr park, witchcraft bushings, temple, weca, g14, etc.
I fb a lot.

I buy way too much fingerboard crap (though Im sure people have more)
I never watch fingerboarding videos
I also just read on the forum more than I post
I rarely use my Blackriver ramps and just sesh basic or household obstacles
I also bring setups to the bathroom
I am a freak about my graphics and do everything I can to not let them scratch off.
Crazy impatient about shipping...
etc. etc. haha

first trick I did was a fakie impossible

i don't really like filming
i hate doing nollie/switch inward heels
i only use tight tech deck trucks

I can't do any nollie tricks, I'm practicing though.
I don't buy any blackriver ramps
I haven't owned any brts
And I like seeing decks graphics scratch off lol

Dont know how to do switch tricks

Never broke a wooden deck
Hate doing grip designs
Still don't have a rail
Haven't bought FBS before nor do I plan to.

my nollie tres are waaaay better than my regular tres

I like my homemade decks over a lot of professionally made decks

I've never been to a fingerboard event and never will go to one

I prefer flatground tricks over rail/any other tricks

I took a 4 year fingerboard hiatus

none of my friends know I fingerboard and I will never tell them

I plan on quitting soon because fingerboarding is not nearly as fun as it was 6+ years ago. also there are arguments on here and other places so often and it gets annoying after a while (although I must admit I like reading the company drama like the whole Fireflame stuff)

Once I quit selling my creamy goo tape I'll give out my source to someone to sell their own tape

I'm really sorry to hear that Milk... :/
My confession: I've owned a set of Oak RV vivid purple wheels, and have owned them since 2012... I still haven't been able to get them to wear in right, there's ALWAYS a bump or flatspot in one of the wheels. Just today I had to shred off a half a millimeter of material to try and fix yet another flatspot I out into one of the wheels.. Twice.
That's twice, in one day.

I hate filming, I can't ever land shit once that camera turns on...
I'm pretty sure if I could still skate I wouldn't be fingerboarding.
I spend way to much money on fingerboarding.

I've had 6 berlin woods and snapped them all
I'm pretty good for only 1 1\2 years of finger boarding
I like more street style than bowl\technical
Once I switched the grip from one board to my new board because I was to poor to get more grip
I cant nollie tre <--- working on it

i've only been using my own boards lately because their my preference
i've been fingeboarding for 5 years (or something like that)
i used the same setup for 2 years when i started so much it chipped the nose and tail
my first trick was a varial heelflip five minutes after buying my first tech deck
i own too many big obstacles that i don't have the space or time to use
i started fingerboarding around the time of losing the ability to skateboard because of my bad knees
i rarely post here but check the forum almost daily

Haha, I meant that as a good thing... I didn't even know fingerboarding was a thing until I stumbled across it one day on youtube because I couldn't skate. I'm not sayin if I could skate I'd quit fingerboarding.  

(( )
Rereading it I guess I did word it funny. Haha my bad b.

I love this thread

-Don't own BRT's
-I have brand new BW and YW in the boxes. Not sure why.
-I've been fingerboarding and skateboarding on and off since 2000.
-I'm very picky when it comes to decks I ride, if I don't like the way it looks I'll take it apart and make a new one.
-Fb is two part for me, I enjoy being creative with deck making as much as I like fingerboarding.

I only have to decks
never bought new Winklers, FF or oaks
Never bought BRTs or YTs
me and my friend agreed to never quit fingerboarding
my trucks have to be perfectly tuned to what I want to actually have a good sesh
i always have my fb with me in skool cuz i play games of SKATE with my friends... idc what everyone else thinks   

*edit*
i only have two decks

I set my filming settings at random because I have no idea what half the crap on my camera actually does.
I'm very lazy when it comes to learning new tricks.
I hate playing S.K.A.T.E over video calls because I lose interest really fast.
I've never snapped a board.
I just jumped on the skate grip bandwagon.
I don't own any good xacto knifes because I ended up accidentally sanding the blade down while cutting skategrip on the grit side -_-

I've never owned a set of BRTs or ytrucks
I bought Planktoon Rool Wheels about a month ago, but they don't work with td style trucks so I haven't used them yet
It took me a few months to learn kickflip
I can't figure out how to 360 pop shove it :/

Why can't you skate?

Ive never made a fingerboarding video. (Except unboxings)
I can do any grind perfectly nollie, switch, fakie, and regular, but am pretty bad at doing tricks into them.
I can't heelflip.

I used to make fun of my friends for fingerboarding
I never fingerboard by myself
I buy things and then never use them
Never been "sponsored"
riptape sucks

^can totally relate to the riptape opinion got my first sheet with my bw and expected it to be life changing good (for the hype i've heard of it) i hated it and changed after 10minutes
