| Damn! lock this one up! LOL jk but seriously,
What Xi and Rans said couldn't be more than enough and anything beyond that would be a repeat or just random miscellaneous info. Oh yeah, Max L it's so true that acceptance is key!
This is why FBHQ is the stand out cause confirmation is determined by being heard not popularity. Yes, yoou can quote me on that. LOL! |

| I want fingerboarding to be less about buying new stuff and more about actually doing it. It seems like half the videos on youtube these days consist of kids talking about what they just bought and what they are ABSOLUTELY DYINGGG OMG to buy next. I like reviews and unboxings dont get me wrong but just dont centre the hobby around spending money and materialism.
also i would like to see kittens. |

ok so you hate when people call your hobby gay then you go call someone else's hobby gay? not the way to handle it. why should they be accepting if you arent. Ive honestly never had a problem with people hating on my fingerboarding. I had a house party once and people saw my fb stuff in my room and they didnt say anything in fact they were kinda interested and wanted to try it out. i guess it just depends how old you are too. Being 17 i can expect my friends to be more mature and accepting than a 13 year old or something. |

| This is how it works though, by not making fun of them they think im ignoring them so without a comeback it gets worse. Im perfectly fine with people spending money on video games but they just hate on fingerboarding and even skateboarding. If people were more open minded this wouldn't even be a problem... |

If you dont insult them then theyll look stupid for pointlessly badgering away at you when you clearly dont care. they are the ones in the wrong and people will see that if you dont retaliate |

Retaliating will make stuff worse. I literally have no irl friends to make fun of it (my only irl friends are people from here, people where I used to live, and my girlfriend), but back where I used to live my friends liked it, and people I knew who weren't really friends tried to rip on me for it, but after they realised I didn't give a shit they found someone else to rip on. |

HANG IN THERE KERRY In all seriousness though i find that people look down on fbing just because its different. no one looks down on the kids that play video games like theres no tomorrow simply because thats like 90% of kids. |

| You guys get hate for fingerboarding? Since I actually skate, I don't get any....... ever, and if ya do, fling your macaroni on the mothalickin' mofo.
Oh or potatoes work great too.
And no, comebacks work good. You gotta keep fighting or you'll look lame in school and you'll look even more retarded. Learn how to fight, pick the biggest one. Kik hiss arse and no more hate; more respect.
And if you lose and end up gettin' yo @$$ whooped. I'll smfh.
That's how it works in the states, or atleast Minnesnowda. |

That's how it works in the states, or atleast Minnesnowda. Because solving our problems with physical altercations always gets shit solved... And every single one of us can beat up anybody who makes fun of us. Not good advice. |

| Ryan Marshment speaks the truth! You can't make yourself vulnerable. Most people around here aren't cool with it, but they don't speak their mind. They're just whatever. They deerhunt I I fingerboard. They say something, All I have to say is, go deerhunt, boom, they automatically look 3x's more foolish/homosexual. It get's real funny if they are in wrestling too. Got another diss there too. Lol. @Max, that is so so cliché. And how is it not 'good' advice. It's my opinion and my opinion has value. Does it differ from yours? Yes. Does violence usually correct everything? No. Think if you have an enemy\bully, beat the sh+t out of them after school, dumped 'em in a trashcan, then into a local dumpster. You wouldn' get caught, sure you might be questioned, but no proof. The body would be gone, who knows you probably wouldn't even be questioned. Hey look, now your bully's gone. You have your lunch money, grades picking up, less stress. Kids, don't listen to me. Just proving a point. But now that you think of it. If you don't get caught. It does solve alot, not everything. Just stand up for yourself. Grow into your size 9's. |

And the fact that Call of Duty is beast everything else is true! It's just an extension of the previous point, I just decided to put it on its own line and specifically annoy people like you. I liked what Rens said though. |

| I heard my friends once talking at school about tech-decks and they said that they used to do it when they were like 10 years old and now they think it was ridiculous because it's something for babies. I was just new at school and I did not want screw up my "reputation", so I didn't tell them I actually like fingerboarding. I think it's all about how your friends think about it, because I also like riding my bike, and some of my friends even thought that was ridiculous too just because the biggest nerd of my school also likes it. Where I live it isn't just accepted at all and I don't know why, it's just a hobby like gaming in my opinion.
EDIT: And I also suck at it, I just learned nollies, but can't do them consistently and I can sometimes do a heelflip, and my friends only like things they're good at because in their opinion it's stupid to waste your time on something you're not good at :roll: But now I've got a "good reputation" I think they would accept the fact that I like it, but I'm not sure so I only will tell my really best friend about it because I know I can trust him and he doesn't think it's stupid.
EDIT: I think we just are all on this forum because we can't talk about it to our friends because they do not understand it. I'm also on other fora of games my friends don't like just to talk about it because nobody of my friends/family understands. |
