Dude I had that finger stutter for like 3 months and I nearly quit fingerboarding. Thank you for this!

Pffft small spaces, we all learned on a school desk 😅

Omg thank you, someone finally mentioned the fingerboard flat ground stutter My arm just stiffens up and just doesn’t let me do anything, I knew about using object to do the actual trick

Hi Gripsion, I have seen it pop up many times in social fingerboarding groups, that jerked wrist hesitation you mentioned, in Golf when putting its called 'the yips' you should read about it, it's well documented. Basically it's a mind over matter thing and is usually caused from unsuccessful, continuous drills and focus on one or two movements rather than a start, middle and end smooth flow through. The best remedy is to, when stuck on a move, and your wrist locks up and produces short, snappy attempts with no results is to open up, do some exercises your good at and just let go of pushing ahead, have fun doing what you know, take a few breaths, relax and have another crack.

Filming your own tricks with slo motion really helps too then you can see what you're doing right and where you could improve or clean up a trick

thank you so much for bringing up the brain not letting you pop the fingerboard. i’ve never seen another person bring it up! i thought i was alone lol

just assembled my G15.12 Flatface...boi oh boi...tried a kickflip since I could never get them consistently on my old AF and highly tuned techdeck... believe it or not, first try landed one...and another, and another...then tried a double KF....booom, first try...I´m already in love I think... certainly will take a lot of effort to get the hang of other tricks I had "on lock" with the TD...heelflips for now are broken, but since the TD ones were semi-pressure HF, I am not that surprised...only grievance I have is the supplied griptape (riptape I think)...I might cover that in actual duct tape for proper grip, that rubber foam just slips and slips and slips... as for the stutter, don´t worry guys...still happens to me every now and then (especially if I want a thing to happen and overthink it) and I have been in the game since...forever, like two decades (on&off, but you hardly unlearn how to...it´s like riding a bicycle)

2:51 bro this is so relatable. This almost made me want to quit fingerboard. A little tip u just got to relax your hand😅

first video i find about the spastic hand handling going on thanks for the tips i almost quit because of it

Love the video, your made me back to fingerboarding.

Man, I litreally just had the stutter issue again just now. It comes and goes, but I am confident that it will go away. I dropped some replies to some peeops, but here it is again: Check your breathing! I noticed that I hold my breath when I am about to pop and when that happens, your body freezes up in order to conserve air and help you not suffocate. Exhale, breathe in, try to sync your breathing with your riding and that helps out a lot.

Hey grip 👋🏻, also you actually got me into this 😅😂, one of your videos popped up on my feed and i pressed it because I didn’t know what a fingerboard was at the time 😅, then I watched it and then I asked my mom to buy me one and as funny as it sounds I used a bunch of home items to make my first one but about half a month later my mom got me a tech deck and then I got a pro fingerboard it was the giraffe graffiti of teak I think, and I stopped for a while and now imma start again 😊

We all can’t wait until Alex gets 1,000,000 subscribers

Puberty hit him HARD, sounds like a whole new person

Or is that each ? Thanks in advance Alex keep doing your thing, from a fan in Illinois

I love your videos

LOVE THE WHEELS!!!!!!!!

the tape method is similar to how i would learn hopping into (and out of) nose manuals on bmx laying down a garden hose

Bruh the shark wheels on the fingerboard goes hard asf fr fr 😂

I used tech decks way back in the day. Recently bought another, idk what yall think about those vs the ones used in the video.

Can you do a video about how to use obstacles? I have no skateboarding background and I have been finger boarding for the past 5 months. BTW your videos have helped me progress a lot not only with tricks but also with the tools. I've got 2 obstacles a rail and the teck deck shred pyramid and I find myself not knowing how to shred for lack of a better way to say it lol

thanks

Where you used tape on the table for learning pop consistency I used a tech deck

I put down a book or rail and that helps a lot

Yay!

it doent matter how big your place is to fingerboard it just depends if you can use the stuff on the table as a obstical like jackperry

Dude u help so much I did a triple kickflip

thanks i got my first board today

The first comment and like I love your content keep up the great work

I can’t even Ollie a finger board I have 3 but just don’t get the pop off the kick tail at all using middle finger as if it was a right foot and pointer finger as if was left foot tbh haven’t practiced much but I’m really struggling compared to a real life skateboard

Bro can u show ur fingerboard collection

I love you videos

I found the best way to learn how to "pop" or ollie was to do it on the side of your knee. For some reason, it helps you learn the motions much quicker without dropping the board a million times. I've always practiced on the side of my knee and it's how I learned to do all the basic flip tricks. It gets super complicated busting flips into grinds n such. But definitely if the traditional way of tape and pens doesn't work, try your knee.

always good vibes!! 💯FB❤️

Can you make a vid onshowing us all the obstacles you have plz

Plz make a fingerboard diy street spot also thx I suck at fingerboarding

Hey i'm from malaysia canbyou teach me how to be a pro fingerboarding?

Why your wheels is ~

Putting a notebook in front of my board helped a lot.

Not me without anything to adjust the board or the knowledge of how to do a trayflip💀

ive been told multip,le times that the quality of grip tape is important but no one tells me what the good brands are.

No fingerboard no bank account 😂

Even though i put the tape on i still cant do a kickflip. I already watched your vid bro but still cant do it😢

Bro how do you get it to stick to your fingers 😭

Day 1 of asking for you to use LC boards urethane wheels

I can't get the board in the air

I cant pop the board up

I rlly can’t pop pls help

It works for a little while but when you go to do it without tape you start stiffing up again.

I know that stutter issue. In that case i like to use my phone as an obstical. Has anyone else the "problem" that you are better at fakie tricks?

3:02 I do this in real board 😂
