caco_killer Posted October 22, 2005 I used to have a ton of fingerboards. Those things were pretty cool. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkman 4 Posted October 22, 2005 I thought those things were retarded back when I was a middle schooler. I'm surprised people still play with those things. 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofhell Posted October 23, 2005 When I was a kid, my family was to poor to afford finger boards. It was a very sad time for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
KwadDamyj Posted October 23, 2005 I remember fingerboards. I had a lot of fun with them, if only for a relatively short while (I changed hobbies so quickly as a wee one). 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted October 23, 2005 I saw those a lot in Elementary and Middle School...I didn't seriously fingerskate, I just went to my friends where he had a fingerskate ramp and I would try to run the mini skateboards as fast as I could onto the ramp as see how high they would go. :Þ 0 Share this post Link to post

Janderson Posted October 23, 2005 I used to make fingerboards out of phone cards, then I moved on to playing with rulers, I tried a real FBoard but I can't do tricks with them so I gave up. Now I stick with lego. 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted October 23, 2005 Studies have shown it to be about as lame as posting on internet forums so you're fingerskating on thin ice there pal. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted October 24, 2005 heh I used to think it was awesome..then I realized that it was more cashing in on the prebudescent tony hawk wannabee generation. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alboroto Posted October 24, 2005 Can you actually do some trick with a fingerboard? I always thought those were collector items, no real playability 0 Share this post Link to post

What about the satisfaction of landing your first tricks? Of being able to do what others can't? (simply because you've taken shortcuts and others don't realise how easy it is) What about enjoying the suffering of people who take themselves too seriously, hitting the deck while trying the stupidly impossible in an attempt to become ToNiE HwaRK? Did that mean nothing to you? Ah! to have the wind plow my hair, a sturdy ramp beneath my trucks and the knowledge that you can enjoy something for the sport, even if it is just a "fad" to everyone else. If you think it's awesome then why let a few cocky kids stand in your way? EDIT: Oh wait... were you talking about fingerskating? <Sigh> Rant Wasted. 0 Share this post Link to post
NailGunner Posted October 24, 2005 I became briefly interested in the fingerboard back when I was still in junior high school. The thing is, I become interested in just about anything that's quasi-collectable, so I really didn't partake in the "skating". I quickly lost interest soon thereafter. 0 Share this post Link to post

Rotting Corpse Posted October 24, 2005 I have never gotten into these type of fads. I didnt have a yo-yo when they were huge. I neve had any pogs. I dont fingerskate. 0 Share this post Link to post
NailGunner Posted October 24, 2005 Come to think of it, I've never seen the action of "fingerskating" itself. It's almost to silly to envision... 0 Share this post Link to post
