I only hate how theyre trying to be like real skateboarders in sense of making videos and being sponsored. I consider fingerboarding a similar activity to, say, playing chess (even though, unlike fingerboarding, chess requires SOME thinking), there are chess contests and pro chess players and its a funny think you can do when you're at home and you have nothing to do. But that's it.

the only thing i find pathetic about fingerboarding is that some people pay 45 dollars for a wood fingerboard...and like 30 dollars for fingerboard bearings...dude thats more than skate bearings cost..

i hate fingerboarding, to me its all incredibly boring.

but at the same time i have no problem with it, if people want to amuse themselves with a tiny little fingerboard, then go for it. a scooter is a toy too so im not going to say people shouldnt do it.

Haha I tried watching this ^ and turned off after a few minutes, it looked too pointless. I think it might look better if they actually tried to emulate skating, not riding on slowly, stopping, then doing a 2ft high kickflip, landing on the rail with no speed, then 'sliding' it by moving the hand. Im sure if they tried to flow and mantain the proper speed proportional to real skating it would be enjoying to watch, because now it looks as bad as wheelbarrow freestyle.
