Sad to see finger sized go. Right now the fb market is so shit. I hate seeing legit businesses go under. You had a great impact on the fingerboard scene while you were open man.

So sorry to hear about this. Fingersized was always my first port of call when considering a new purchase. Fingers crossed (pun intended) that it will make a shocking comeback, sometime soon...

RIP Fingersized. I'm really sad to hear this. You have done so much good to the scene, and this is tearing me apart. Nonetheless, I hope your financial issues get better soon. Stay gold Kerry

so sad to see this.
is a blow to UK fingerboarding for sure.
i remember the talks we had in the begging, and i said to you it wouldn't be easy, and that if anyone could make it work it would have been yourself.
times are really tough at the moment. people dont realize how tough it is for people with small companies.
every end has a beginning though, something ends, something new must begin.
you know your situation best, and im sure that if it wasn't the right decision you wouldn't have called it.
still.....its better to have tried than not too. (not that it makes it any better).
Subject: Re: Fingersized News Thread - The End. Fri Aug 09, 2013 11:18 pm
that all seems like soo long ago, infact I remember chatting with you when I first started planning, that must be back in 2011.. time flies!
thanks for letting me sell blosom decks, it was an honour to carry them as it is to ride for them thanks for the kind words also - see you at the end of the month!
Subject: Re: Fingersized News Thread - The End. Mon Aug 12, 2013 2:43 am
Shit dude this is terrible. I hope everything works out for you. Keep doing what you do man, you're a real help to the scene. The UK scene got bigger I feel like with the help of fingersized. Hopefully you can find something that will get you some cash you need, or something that will make you happy! Money is just money, being happy is what counts!
Subject: Re: Fingersized News Thread - The End. Mon Aug 12, 2013 5:52 pm
thanks for the kind words too, and thanks for the collabs we did back in the day
UPDATE:::::
All this stuff going out to one of the lucky people who picks up something super cheap from fingersized!
literally all that's left is a set of bushings, a set of bollie wheels, and a set of winklers. No one want them at cheap prices? If you're UK I'll even give you free shipping, I need this stuff gone

When i started fingerboarding all those years ago, the uk had nothing, then this blog started which was cool but populated by immature kids (me!) and it started to die, until kerry came along and revamped it and made it awesome again. bringing unite with it, an identity that is now recognised all over fingerboarding. everything kerry has done has helped the uk scene grow and fingersized was the final missing piece, a uk based shop! which is why its so sad it has to go any future doings of kerrys make sure everyone trys their best to get involved, the amount of effort he puts in is mad. long live unite and the future ok the uk scene. best wish kezwald for everything good thats still to come x
