how did you get into fingerbarding? :?:

skateboarding, i read about some "famous" spots and wacked hubba hideout in youtube and i found mike Schneiders video of the tech deck one and i loved fingerboarding! i already had techdecks because everyone had them at school so i took it a step further and found berlinwoods etc then found the online scene!

anton told me to get a tech deck and then we got a wooden fingerboard and then went from there

I love skateboarding, saw Tech Decks at some store as a kid and just started from there. Taking pretty lengthy breaks between stopping and starting fingerboarding again, though.

from skateboarding and youtube videos. i remember lurking on youtube and coming across a fingerboard video. bought a tech deck and been hooked ever since

I heard about Teck Decks a while back in school, so I asked my mom to get me like two ramps. Then I came across a video online of some pretty good fingerboarding. After that, I got sucked into it haha

People at my school at Tech Decks. I had a non TD plastic fingerboard, moved to TDs after that one. I was on TD forums back in the day and heard about homemade wooden decks from sites like Moshmelloz and other sites featured on Sites That Grind. I didn't want to go through the effort of making my own so I stuck with TDs for a while. Then people on TD forums talked about brands of wooden boards (Close Up and Berlinwood) and I eventually managed to obtain my own Close Up G1, G2 and Berlinwood old mold regular. I also found a cool review of Substance Ivories on YouTube that prompted me to buy them from Arctic*.

so many threads about this :x

i was on youtube and i saw the weird fingerboard advert so i bought some cheap plastic board and from ther i went on and on and on and on i cant be botherd to write in detail

My cousin influenced me to skateboards. After a while we usually play Tony Hawk pro skater on playstation consoles. And last 2001 my best friend gave me a tech deck. But I don't have an idea how to play it. I remember that I'm doing ollie with 3 fingers before hahaha. I want to make it as a hobby but I don't have the money to invest the ramps and stuffs coz I'm still a student at that time until I decided to resume it again last August.

I was skateboarding and snowboarding and already had a bunch of tech decks... idk i saw a mike shneider vid and i was like holy shit i wanna do that so then me and my friend who doesnt do it anymore started and yea i love it

haha this is proving a point...people alwase hate on fingerboarders for being wussies...but almost all the posts here say there got into fingerboarding cause the skated/snowboarded......take that haterzz

Tech Deck, my friend bought one, I brought out my old one, bought a Competition Series plastic TD, used foam for foam tape, come Battle Of The Big Bois, I bought a Daliri deck and boom.

i decided to start back skating last year and i bought a tech deck, signed up on tech deck forums and started learning new tricks and the whole online scene, then i bought a redemption last december and bought some more fb decks, then i almost quit, then i bought a new deck then i kept on going from there.

i eventually bought a g12 during the summer traded it for a finga like on flatface, traded it for some wheels,, got scammed by holden, bought another 4c deck deck and traded my pure for a mad genius with winkler wheels, and giving the deck away and giving my friend my 4c deck and waiting on my push m3.

Saw my friend using a tech deck in homeroom, he gave me one, looked it up on youtube to see if there was more to it then just smashing it, found out there was, really wanted a good deck, got my setup.

i used to skate (roll) but lots of people had the first like plastic element/whatever company key chains with the janky plastic wheels that break off after like 10 min.

stopped for a bit after that, then td's came out and i messed with them for a bit off and on, never thought fbing would be anything like it is now lol.

kinda neat.

Tech Decks were a fad at my school for like 2 weeks at one point, and I just kept doing it.

I got into fbing about 12 years ago when I was still in high school tech decks were still pretty new and everyone that skated would buy em and mess around with em, I got out of it soon after.10 years later I decided to buy one for my 3 year old son and I ended up playin with it more than he did of course and went from there on to bigger and better stuff.My son still fbs or tries and it gave us something to do that does not bore me or him although I am pretty dedicated now to the hobby and love comin home from work and going out in the shop and shreding to relieve the stress of dealing with numbers all day as a civil engineer,its the best thing.love it :lol:

i skateboarded...and then one day i was watching skateboard videos on youtube and i saw one of mike schnieders skateboard videos...went to his chanle and saw him fingerboarding!

when i was about 10-11 there was a tiny bit of an fb craze. i bought a really cheap one when on holiday in cornwall (with a jet fighter on the bottom) and kinda just stuck with it on and off since then.

The internets made me do it

I first saw fingerboarding on youtube, but dident know anywhere that stocked tech decks, and dident was to dice into buy a full woodern fingerboard of the internet so i made my own out of lego .___.

I had a tech deck when everyone did as a kid, like 10 years ago.. never knew what to do with it. then almost 3 years ago now I saw fingerboarding online, wanted to try it again, and got a close up g2 blank. Fell in love. Started the second biggest fingerboard news site in the world. Got famous. Got bitches and money. You know how it goes, haha

When I was really young I used to collect them. (thats why I have so many old ones)

Then I stopped for a while and I redescovered where they went. (under my bed)

I was trying to do tricks on one day, pressure kickflips.

I decided to search them up on the internet.

I searched tech deck new and thrashed an saw a review from FSS.

Then I saw Martin Beckmann's never before seen tricks.. video and it started from there

Fingerboarding saved my boredom
