Subject: Challenge Yourself - Competition. Sun May 01, 2016 7:14 pm
So as I don't fingerboard much anymore since I work so much and rarely have time to do it anymore, I've got a bunch of stuff in my collection that someone else should have, (Yellowood, Berlinwood, Level Up + a bunch of other deck; Y Trucks, Y Wheels, Winklers, G7's, etc..)
So I'm going to be putting on a challenge for everyone to take part in and everyone will be a winner when you participate in this - I'm going to be picking the prize since it's a free competition.
All you have to do is upload a 1 minute clip of you doing your most technical tricks, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, rookie, etc.. It doesn't matter, challenge yourself. The video must be unedited, I just want to see natural fingerboarding. No background music, no editing, etc.. I want to see that no matter how many tries it takes you to complete a line of your most technical tricks, you can do it.
There isn't going to be a deadline, I've got about 17 fingerboard products from wheels, trucks, decks, ramps, etc..
For taking part, you'll get a prize.
Post your entries below, it must be fresh footage and not 15 second Instagram clips, because this is FBHQ and not Instagram.
I can't wait to see what y'all have to show us, have fun!

very good idea and generous of you, i like it. Looking forward to seeing everyones entries as well!
Q- So you want a one minute clip of the most technical tricks with no editing as in you don't mind us having all of the tricks not landed in the clip? flat ground only or with obstacles?

It can be flatground, vert, transition, etc... Whichever one.
And you are correct, no editing. I just wanna see that no matter how many tries it takes you to land it, you actually land it.

figured I would start it off. Took about 7min exactly to get the trick (non stop tries). Cut it down to one minute. Never done this trick before but have thought about it. After a while i started to adjust my fingers and it ended up working out. Wallride/wallie(?) kick flip back tail slide. I can do kick flip back tails pretty easily but this was a lot more difficult than expected. Enjoy and Im looking forward to seeing others entries!

So I decided to give this a shot as it is indeed a very generous gesture and I really appreciate that. Basically I recently set up this deck with a chunk of skate grip so I am still relearning all my tricks I used to be able to do with proper foam grip, but the trick I did in the video was a first try. As you can tell the footage begins and looks as if I cut it to start there because this small trick took me 5 minutes to get, my fingers kept slipping on the skate grip and not letting me to pop properly. I hope this can be considered as an entry, thanks dude Can't wait to see the others post their styles and tricks

Ok, I am so surprised I landed this for the challenge. My line was kickflip manual onto box into kickflip nose manual nollie flip out, then I did a blunt to fakie, and did a switch krooked grind back onto the box.The line starts at 0:45 seconds. I was so stoked that I landed the the manual line that it was kinda hard to do the rest of the line XD. This honestly one of my dream lines. I cannot wait to see the other entries (Change the video quality to 720p, it's kinda hard to see the nollie flip in 420p).

Do whatever you want, I prefer no trick requests - but if you've got nothing in mind, we'll discuss this in a PM!

Started fingerboarding a couple months back. Really love fingerboarding and I like to think I'm OK. For my trick I did a manual Tre double flip out. Hope you enjoy.

The trick i do is kickflip to back tail to hardflip to noseslide to shove it out ( suppose to be nollie flip out ) primo flip doesn't count because i just fooling around after doing the trick lol . The clip that you watched is take 2 because this trick is very difficult to do , it take a lot of tries to do this trick & i achieve doing this trick
So i hope you enjoy the video

So I filmed my tries in segments o a minute, but I actually landed it before the minute was up in the clip where I landed it. I tried some other stuff after that but it didn't really work out haha. Should I cut it to just what I was trying to do, or should I keep the failed attempts for the tricks that follow?
Here you go! got it in slow mo too!!! Hope you enjoyed it and ill pm you now, can't believe i landed it so quickly! i started and landed it within one and a half minutes! i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did landing it, so yea!
