Experienced people know that they dont need BRTs

Usually the kids who get the nice completes right away are the ones with rich parents who don't mind spending 145 dollars carelessly. That, and the kids think they need to have the greatest stuff to be good. A nice deck, china wides, and a nice set of bearing wheels not China wheels would do it for me, but I was lucky enough to get my nice setup from a friend in trade for a few things.

I think for any hobby it shouldn't matter on skill level but on how dedicated the person is. I still really don't see the need in brt or ys but that's just me speaking. I think as long as you're dedicated to something and are willing to drop the cash on something then you should go for it.

Most of the new people are like doing tre flips to nosegrinds at like 11 LOL

honestly...sure you can get away with china wides, but i can notice the performance difference with using brts/ys.

also the new school is 32mm decks so china wides are too thin. (ideally)...their are only wide brts/fvckers/indys/soontobewideYs that cater for the wide decks.

and the indys fall apart after 2 weeks fingerboarding.

pro trucks are great if you can afford them. i couldn't go back to using china wides after using brts.....although i do think brts are massively overpriced and still have too many flaws.

The only thing i get from Ytrucks that i don't have on the setups where i use china trucks is the smooth connection between bearing and hanger. But i get that on chinas aswell when using backless wheels.

he's talking about me isn't he... HAHAH playing... but if they wanna use there money for cool stuff let um... because that stuff will always come back on the forum for sale and at a cheaper price for us when they get bored.

brts are way to expensive.. but its because there not exactly mass produced making production costs alot higher.. i bet you they don't make 20% profit off them after expenses...

might i point out... im technically a newbie (again) been 6 years out off the scene and when i saw bearing wheels custom trucks and wearable graphics.. i full on blew my load in my pants and had to buy them... thats my excuse anyway

its all new to me

That bold writing is annoying :/ yeah if you have the money why not buy expensive trucks unless your not dedicated to the sport (like my brother) he went and bought a "pro" berlinwood but i knew i would end up with it

It doesn't bug me that beginners buy expensive fingerboard products, what bugs me is the induced mentality that expensive products render other products obsolete.

Sure, some expensive products are good but that doesn't mean others aren't good. In fingerboarding, individuals' preferences also must be taken into account. I've tried a load of products now and I've come to realise that you don't need a €100 setup to be good or enjoy yourself. The quality of many cheaper products can be as good as expensive ones.

I'd ride a Pure over a Berlinwood NM.
Close Up wheels over Oaks.
No Comply wheels over Substance.

Please, stop writing like that.

Doesn't really bother me, people can spend money however they like ...I just hope they are enjoying themselves

Exactly man

Like what everyone says in snowboarding and skating. Its not the equipment that makes the rider, Its the skill.

That was my first fingerboard. Ive never purchased new 'professional' fingerboard equipment. I make all of my own obstacles and I'd rather buy 3 pures, temples, or zinks over a berlinwood or a yellowood. People who have the money to get 'professional' equipment usually buy it because in their minds money=quality. Go big or go home, or they buy it because it looks cooler.

ride the gear that you like... whether it be a berlinwood or a temple... y trucks or some chinas... winklers or some no comply... Fingerboarding is personal thats why we see so many people with a variety of different setups.

ALSO HAVOK FOR THE LOVE OF ANY SORT OF ETHEREAL BEING CAN YOU PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP CENTERING AND BOLDING YOUR POSTS IT'S SUPER ANNOYING WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED READ AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT.

Are you actually trying to piss people off with that writing?

lol melvin spent over £100 pound on his first new months and its paying off.. expensive shit makes you better.. I used teechdecks for about two years and i made no progress till I got a proper set up about 2 years ago.. lol its weird how ive been fingerboarding for that long and im not that good..

Dude, I'm sorry I only read the first page didn't read the second. Now I know. Won't happen again.

Thanks dude.

Because I moderate I tend to do a lot of speed reading through posts and that just totally breaks the flow. Plus people have been complaining to me about it for a while.

KEEP ROCKING THE FINGERBOARDS EVERYONE.
