Have you ever experienced that one day you can't land any tricks or even can't pop the deck because your hands/fingers are to stiff to do it?

It's kinda weird but it happened to me 2nd time around. It's like I'm having trouble to do tricks my hands are so stiff and numb due to stress and perhaps tired. I'm just wondering if anyone had the same experience.

happens to me all the time. really sucks.
Just try to calm down, mabe take a break.
I really feel bad for whoever this happens to during a big competition to though.

Yeah, if that happens to me, I call it a bad day and just fingerboard the next day, or in like an hour haha

Whew, Well I'm relieved I thought I was the only one who felt that situation. Yeah I called it a day chuggin some Heineken right now to relieve the stress. Thanks for responding.

Thomashines haha yeah I feel sorry for whoever felt like that in big competition too. It's like your brain is telling you that "I'm gonna do it!!! Lets go!!!" but hands aren't responding. xD

Haha yes. I was like this at both fb events I've been to since I like to sleep late but then I have to get up really early to travel to them and end up not sleeping. XD

It sucks my hands are still the same.. I'm getting pissed off already ughh..

If you are buying quite a bit then it is a rip off. When you get charged for priority shipping and then the UK Government holds it in customs for ages and then charges you import duty and handling charges, then it's a rip off.

If you're not buying much then it should be fine.

Xi, just wonderin.. What's your remedy about that hands stiffness issue?? As a pro, what do you recommend to do?

Not hand stiffness. Just take a 20-30 minute break and resume. I think it's called Yips? Yeah. Put handlotion, get water, lie down a bit, then resume. That's what I do, at least.

Sorry for double posting, but I have a query.

I think I created a trick, I don't know. Is there a name for when you ollie, go FS 90 like you're about to Lipslide then at the last moment go BS 180 and do a boardslide? I call it the Crunchy Slide. Is it created yet?

That'd be like a fs lip late board I think?

no, its simply a fs shifty to boardslide.

Shifty is where you turn 90 or more in one direction, then quickly back the other direction

Hello. I'm considering myself to get BRT but my only question is, does FF g6d wheels will fit in BRT 2.0? Or do I need to get the BRR edition wheels for it?

I seem to remember this being asked before and a lot of people said they don't fit.

However, I have some G6Ds that fit my BRT 2.0s fine. Even Rafi kept wanting to skate my FF setup at LW2. I don't know if they changed the wheels or anything but I remember a few people saying they did fit. It might be worth emailing Flatface or BRR directly.

Gotcha.. Thanks.

Are Star Fingerboards any good?

I've never really heard of em.

Because I'm new here it won't let me post links to prevent botting...

They are at starfingerboarding dot com though.

They are all over the place on ebay and etsy and their boards look fairly decent... You can get a complete for 20$. I really don't have enough spare $$$ laying around for like a $100 Berlinwood and it's not like I'm going to be fingerboarding around other fingerboarders... It would definately be an improvement from a tech deck so I think I'm gonna get a complete and a 10" rail.

I have some tech deck ramps and stuff already, can I still use those?

It looks like their decks has a deep concave.. And yes you can use tech deck ramps and stuffs.

Those are just one company of many that rebrand cheap Chinese products are their own. I haven't tried the decks. Pretty much everyone has China trucks somewhere and they're perfectly good. As for the wheels, they are smoother than TD wheels but I don't like the feel and sound of them and every other kind of bearing wheel are better. The tape is alright.

TD ramps are fine but when you use "fingerboards" rather than TDs, you will find the ramps' scale is slightly small.
