So yeah, I knew I probably should put up some kind of fingerboard video. It would have been done earlier if I hadn't forgotten to fully charge my battery, didn't use a screwed up old tape and knew what tricks I was going to do. I don't see a lot of freestyle in fb videos at all and hope I've not overdone it, I know to some degree it looks gay in skating so it's amplified on fingerboards. Also, could you recommend me some video editing software for Windows that isn't a processor hog? I'm on an ancient laptop and WMM is too buggy. Oh, and here's the video.

techy, very good, if that what you call shit i don't know what i am :/

Wow, that first trick thing was sick! I thought you said you just started fingerboarding pretty recently? You're definitely better than me. I was thinking to myself how no one does freestyle fbing, until I saw this video. Try kinda like "flowing" more between each trick though, that'd make it even better.

woah man, your good :O love your style + the techy freestyle stuff

Thanks, man. I think the shit parts I was talking about was that my style is a bit off and the fact that I have made virtually no attempts to edit the video to a good standard due to how buggy WMM is. I would have liked to put some slowmos in. :p

Thanks. I have fingerboarded since Tech Decks were big but only purchased some other fingerboard products a few years ago and since then it's only really been some casual flatland stuff as I always have my fingerboard in front of my laptop on my desk. I also like to use that blue booklet to keep the noise down and moving to smoother surfaces really messes me up like at CS3. I'm not sure what you mean about flowing but I think you're talking about my dodgy quick landings? I added that tiny quarter pipe at the double bench part so I could do a switch trick, stall and a normal trick to have it flow better.

Heh. I did an ollie nose manual nollie flip nose manual on Euan's coffin in Manchester and I remember saying I could do a lot more nollie flips in a combo and being told I should film it. It was a bit sketchy but I had another clip that was a bit worse and I decided to re-do it.

Hah. I was debating whether to hide that stuff when filming. Now you bring it up though, let me show you a pic I was originally going to use as my avatar on here.
