dude who doesn't?! I was in a wheelchair and I hopped right out of that thing trying to get to the mail box xD

I honestly hate those people who go around and mooch off of other peoples products, ( ask for a free deck, etc.. )

I dislike those people who only want to be sponsored to get free stuff.

It makes me laugh that people are using rubber bracelets to make their own bushings & suddenly they need to start a company up.

I've never seshed an actual park.

I've owned like 5 sets of blackriver trucks in my time, only about 2 sets of y trucks lol

I love those people who fingerboard for fun, and not for free product.

I've lost 3 complete pro set-ups in my life (bw29+ytx2+ww, NABY+brt1.0+oaks1.0, NABY+brtw+oaks3). And yeah, it hurts.

Im always in constant worry that if I leave any of my fingerboard stuff around then my mom or sister will throw it out or hide it.. Once my sister hid my fingerboard in a fake plant and I didn't have one for months until I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Of course she denied doing it, but how the hell does a fingerboard end up in a plant

^^^^^ tell your fam to chill

I have more fun fingerboarding at 21 than I ever did as a kid! Maybe its because I could actually buy what I want now

Is it the noise? My family used to trip about it and my brother used to hide my setups for that reason too. So then I just did it in my room or outside, I'd recommend hiding your setup too lol.

I want to make decks again

like, I have no desire to actually fingerboard but the craft of making decks was so fun to me. I really can't think of other alternatives that involve woodworking with infinite creativity (i.e. graphics, colors, shape, etc). I also have some ideas on how to make decks that people actually want... not just your run of the mill standard shape with maybe a graphic or split ply. my job pays well so I can afford some equipment I'm missing. whether you guys want me to sell stuff or not, I'd love to give some decks to some people and sell maybe. many of you probably don't care, but we'll see what the future holds.

I guess I just miss making stuff.

Can't wait to see those dude!

I'd buy a deck!

I can't think of tricks to do in videos if my life depended on it. I ask people for suggestions for most of them. (<3 Trevor, Eric, Zac)

I'm obsessed about kickflips. I want to land the perfect one. I actually spend most of my time focusing on kickflips now when I fingerboard. Everybody loves kickflips.

Edit: I watched this Japanese skateboard session on YouTube years ago. One of the guys has the best kickflip I've ever seen. Huge pop, super fast flick, and backfoot catch that was Michael Jordan-esque. It looked like the trick was caught as the board was still going up. Also, LizardKing's too. Ollie first then flick a tenth of a second later. Amazing. I've seriously spent years working on kickflips to make them look like that.

I've never had a new set of BRT edition wheels.

Fingerboarding is like pokemon, you gotta catch 'em all..

i've never had a set of brts, ytrucks, tdlb

But in your setup thing it says "brt wides"?

Ive been thinking about just going into the wild lol.. Like not coming back to cancer society ever. Trying to be patient and practice gratitude.. just become more sustainable where im at..

I can not fingerboard for a week at a time and then pick it right up again and fingerboard for a couple of hours

in total i have probably spent around $500-$600 on fingerboarding, but made about 75% of the money back because when i stop using decks or obstacles, i always sell them (sell my stuff and use the money to buy more stuff, lol). i obsess over obstacles, destroy them for about a month, and then get sick of them and never use them again. in those cases, i sell them. same with decks. if i get a new deck, i never use the old one again and always sell them. therefore, i don't find that i ever spend too much. one man's trash is another man's treasure!

^^It's crazy to think that isn't even that much for this hobby. I couldn't even guess how many setups/obstacles I've owned and sold over the years. And the best part about it is that you can resell pretty much anything and someone will want it.

Ive hardly ever bought fingerboards..most of my stuff came from trading and borrowing friends boards they didnt use

Confession- i hate when sucky fingerboarders talk the most shit in the scene

I fuckin love seeing pics of other peoples parks.... especially concrete parks!
