| usually people refer others when they know they are legit, nice and a good general user of the forum. You have 25 posts, no-one knows you and you haven't shown you are a positive legit and friendly. So i would wait until people know you better and can see you are responsible before you start begging to get on FFI. |

| ffi is only for people who know alot about fingerboarding, it would be rubbish if they let loads of silly little kids on it. but saying that i dont really like it at all i just check out peoples setups i prefer here so much better. i honestly wouldn't be bothered about getting on to ffi. |

no. your partially correct though some of the people on there were silly and noobish when they first joined, including me and it's not only for people that know a lot about fbing though, i have got so many people signed up most of them are either just starting out or just bought their first wooden deck not even a month ago. |

| I gotta say, It's much more civilised on there. They're more chill. You see celebrity fingertechdeckers on there, and sorta think "wow". It's really cool, but here's better in a way.
I've only been involved with the scene properly for about, 3-4 months. Yet Im on there. If I didn't go to little wheels 1, I probably never picked up a fingerboard again. Thats the truth. I had a 3 month break from it. |

Get Y-trucks, there cheaper and better. If there in stock... when I bought my BRTs they weren't in stock, plus I didn't wanna wait for them to get in stock + get to the us. Saying that tech deck trucks are better is VERY absurd. Some people prefer Y's, some prefer brt's. |

Trucks are trucks in moat cases right?? Copied from kerrydeath other brand name that aren't brrs + ys are just basically the same as td trucks. Made in exactly the same way, just, in different factories, or packaged by different people. Sometimes shaped, but, thats mostly aesthetic. BRR + Ytrucks have many advantages. I'll list all I can think of in order of importance for me. 1) single axle. Td trucks often have the little axle the wheel goes on bend, wobble, or fall out completely. Happened on my td wides soo often. Single axle trucks don't have this problem, as the axle is held in place by the wheels in a way, as well as them being designed on brrs + ys better so they don't come out easily like on td trucks. 2) loose riding is possible. Td trucks I find wobble and fall apart if you have them anything but tight. I don't like my brrs uber loose, but, looser than what I can have td trucks. 3) more pop. Because of point 2 above, they don't loose pop when ridden loose. 4) turning. Again with loose trucks, they centre themselves after turning rather than staying lopsided, so your ride is always centred and nice. 5) Better to grind on. The material slides WAYY nicer than on td trucks. 6) kingpin doesn't stick out. On td trucks the kingpin gets in the way of grinding. Doesn't happen on brrs/ys. 7) Looks. Lets face it, td trucks are the most horrible shape. BRRs look pretty much like indy skate trucks, and Ys pretty similar to destructo and/or royal skate trucks. 8 ) No need to tune. TDs need special new bushings, pivot cups, sometimes kingpins and bearing screws are used.. all that is WAYY too fiddly for me. 9) Easy to set up and use. Coupled with above point, td need fiddling around, brrs and ys you just screw the wheels on and roll away smooth. Hope thats answered your question |

But I also posted this because of the answer Xavier gave which was " bc they are professional" and I wanted to say what that really means |
