| So I see lots of my friends play with Tech Decks. Me, being a good person introduce them to the real world of fingerboarding.
Now all the good fingerboarders in my batch(7-10 people) have real setups and we're planning an Augustinian montage.
Makes me feel really good inside knowing I contributed something.
What have you done for your scene? |

| I gave the prowood i've won at that contest in Croatia to a kid who wanted to start fingerboarding. I had about 15 techdecks and i gave them to kids that wanted to start fingerboarding.
Beat that. |

| I joined forums to get to know the community better and understand more than I ever have. Participate in as much East Coast fingerboarding events possible. Usually just rendezvous and maybe this year... The Tech Deck US Championships! My contribution is being there and being supportive! |

| I'm teaching 8-12 year old kids at to fingerboard at my job. Close Up sponsored some setups for them to use and Flatface sponsored a few decks that i will use as prizes for a contest this month.
Back in the days i started forums and organized contest to keep a bit of life in the Danish scene. But it's pretty dead.. There might be "a lot" of fingerboarders here, but we are all a part of a great er scene (like FBHQ) and doesn't unite in our own. |

| Well near my house there is a ravine, and at the bottom there's like a hangout places with chairs and a bonfire and people had set up couches, music and whatnot, and its used by basically every teenager just to go chill. there is a table that has been used by a few people for fingerboarding, but its just a flatground. I had some left over kickers and whatnot and a rail so i took them down there, and set em up on the table and left em there. being from this town they are still there after a few months and no one has stolen em, but there is visible use marks and various stickers on em. just glad i was able to do that also sent a free complete to trop32 |

| I wish I could say I've contributed a lot to the UK scene but I've not.
I gave Kerry some black China wides, Close Up G4 trucks & metal core wheels which he gave out as part of prizes on Unite. I ripped off a bunch of kids at Little Wheels 2 sold lots of better products to kids for fair prices at Little Wheels 2. I gave Danny Hymen Hynam some wides. I gave a guy at my local skatepark a new Close Up G4 complete.
Ripped even more people off Done a few trades with people. Drove some people new fingerboard friends around Manchester after CS3.
Pissed about on forums acting all high and mighty Moderated FBHQ. Wrote lots of boring ass detailed reviews on fingerboard products. Have tried to give as much information that I know about fingerboards to people on forums. Supported a wide variety of companies.

| copy and pasted from FFI TicTocTicToc.
Creating the first FB zine that not only utilized a Magazine format but gave exposure to any and everyone who wished to have that. From Vegas to the then small company of Flatface.
Making freestyle more known for fingerboarding at a time fingerboarding(in the usa) was only one real style.
Making vert fingerboarding cool again, then co-creating team based strickly on Vert riding with Travis Cooper; FVD(Finger Vert Dogs).
Making Fingerflips, Flamingos, 'foot' plants, and many other then thought impossible combos(or shunned) a complete reality.
First Freestyle inspired fingerboard concept.
Starting the "Fingerboard for fun and for yourself" movement. |
