Fingerboard (from English - "skate for fingers") - a miniature copy of a skateboard for riding on it and performing tricks with your fingers. The fingerboard is identical to the skateboard except for the 96mm length and the simplified suspension design.
If earlier daredevils on a skateboard broke their legs, now young people on it ... stretch their hands. Such a skate is called a fingerboard.
Having fun in this way is both interesting and safe - experienced fingerboard players admit.
A friend gave this fingerboard to me for my birthday. This is a nine centimeters long mini skate. Until then, I had not played with them, I just watched the video, as others do.
Skateboard "clone"
I immediately fell for this entertainment. It turned out that all the details of the mini "gift" are an exact copy of a regular skateboard. The only "exception" is the dimensions of the structure.
Riding the mini-skate turned out to be much more difficult than I could have imagined. ... At first it was difficult to exercise with it, because the fingers were completely untrained. And the riding technique is not so easy.
You need to ride the "hand skate" with your index finger. Instead, the thumb is used only to support the deck when performing tricks in the air.
Almost all tricks can be done on the board, such as on a real skateboard. After all, this is his little "clone". Fingerboards break just like their big "brothers". Moreover, replacing any part is not a problem.
Skate well in parks
I do not consider my hobby to be childish. Fingerboard competitions are held all over the world with real, non-toy prizes.
When people see me amusing myself with a small skateboard, they react differently. Someone laughs, says that I fell into childhood. Others consider it nonsense. However, I like the fact that you can ride a mini-skate anywhere. It's interesting and hands - legs are intact! Of course, it is more convenient to do this in special skate parks. There is where to turn around ... Fanbox, loop, tables, benches, steps ...
Foreign scientists have shown that fashionable "finger art" develops motor skills and even improves memory.
Knowing your skate like your own five fingers is the best praise for the fingerboard fan. Performing different tricks - jump jumps, "fifty-fifty" and slides - you will not immediately learn.
“Beginners”, according to the interlocutor, start “from scratch” - they skate the skate on notebooks, books and other objects. This is how the fingers are trained. Gradually, beginners try to repeat all the tricks that skaters do on large skateboards. All the time, the excitement catches your breath.
