Fingerboarding...

... we hadn't heard of it either, until we had a call from a very nice chap in Colorado USA this week.



Basically, you custom-build the teeniest skateboard imaginable & then use your fingers to do flips, stunts & tricks with it.  Some people seem to take it VERY seriously & indeed our caller bought some very high-spec Japanese miniature bearings for his board, as he wants to take it to the next level & enter competitions with his board.



I suppose at least it keeps the requirement for safety equipment & giant concrete skateparks to a minimum :0)



Happy weekend everyone!!

Nice blog page. The fingerboards are very popular. My business partner and I designed and created a custom fitted vest with the mini boards inside to fit my son. He'll never lose another fingerboard.
