Hey guys im new. ive been fingerboarding for just a few months now and i have a question..when you fb, do you let your palm hang off of the table? just recently i notice that when i don't have my palm hanging off i have a really hard time doing tricks! specially flips (kicklips to be specific) should i be doing something different when i don't have my palm hanging off? or should i just practice?

it's about you, I put my hand hangin off or in my waist

I used to be like you but i am getting more and more familiar with palm above. It is just about getting used to it. I used to not be able to do tricks like kickflip bs lipslide and stuff which are fun so one day i just decided to ride bs only and it worked

I can't do nollie or switch tres consistently without my palm hanging off. Don't worry about it, it's best to get yourself out of the habit though, i'm learning..

thanks for the quick reply! i guess i just need to practice..the thing that's frustrating is the fact that i know how to kickflip, but when i do it with my palm not hanging when i practice i feel like a complete noob! lol. if anybody has any tips or advice please do reply! thanks

Just watch how people who are beastly at fingerboarding have their hands... I realized that a lot of my problems with fingerboarding were because I was sloppy with the way I rode... You don't have to do it strictly or all the time but just every once and a while work at it and try to get used to riding the proper way.

Remember! It's all about having FUN

thanks for the feedback guys! i guess i just need to practice..its a relief to hear that others have had this problem as well.

Pobody's Nerfect!

I could never do any tricks unless my palm was off, I guess I just learnt to fingerboard with my hand normally and now it doesn't matter to me where my palm is. Practice is the key

It's hard for me to do switch/nollie tricks without my palm hanging off but for the rest I don't mind.

It doesn't bother me if my palm is hanging off actually.
