Did you find any of these techniques helpful? Let me know below!

[@nicafingerboarding]

Even though my body feels familiar with everything you explained, you nailed it giving all these a name. I'm starting a channel to teach fingerboarding in my homecountry (Nicaragua). The channel is in Spanish tough. I will definitely use this in future lessons, of course, I will acknowledge your insight here.

This is a really cool presentation of advanced ideas for fingerboarding. I haven't really thought of all these things in the same way. I will break down tricks for late tricks but for basic tricks like kickflips, I have just naturally developed a default number of ways to do it.

[@cdplaya]

Same with me to be honest - it wasn't until I was writing on FBWeekly that I started to think about why I do tricks the way I do! Another thing I dug into was whether there are techniques that can be employed to "hack" tricks. Denny Politan had a tutorial on the "Denny Politan" where he described the grab part as simply making a fist, and it was a simple, yet effective description. There's a handful of other similar "hacks" that I can share on future videos too!

[@jamesdebenham]

Excellent work sir

[@cdplaya]

Many thanks, Cake!

[@pamcakes2172]

Some of these tips were actually really helpful. I never thought of them, especially the first one!

[@cdplaya]

Glad they helped! It took me ages to realize many of these techniques and to consciously employ them in my fingerboarding!

[@LeeanneKae]

Such a helpful video! 🔥

[@cdplaya]

Thank you!

[@krisiswhoiam]

Using a body is an essential in my opinion. I’m glad to hear that from you because I feel like this is something that people often forget about.

[@nicafingerboarding]

LOVE IT!

[@cdplaya]

[@galeafingerboarding5529]

Thank you! More coming soon😸

[@FingerEverything]

It's always a video like this that gets me back off the couch and back onto my fingerboard park putting in some hours. Much appreciated.

[@NasufCantKickflip]

Glad the tips helped!!

[@mihailozlatanovic1646]

Thanks it really helps

[@vicious274]

Great perspective! These are great tips!

[@DrewDone]

I almost commented on your most recent vid just now that I want a video like this then it came up next lol

[@kalebhatch2058]

Yoo 👋 Met you at the Salem jam a month ago.. I am the sharpie artist guy. love to see your footy! Well done vid I Def can use! Appreciate you!

[@cdplaya]

Hey Kaleb! Great to hear from you 😁 glad you found value in this video

[@TPdecks]

super helpful tips, Chris! I'm definitely going to keep these in mind for my sessions :)

[@ichliebeholz]

Another video idea would be how filming fingerboarding has changed. In addition to the obvious things such as frame rate and video quality. Are there any differences from then and now? Tips for properly lighting the spot and the like would also be helpful. Thanks for your videos, keep up the good work.

[@cdplaya]

Great concept for a video! I think diving into filming would be fun!

[@ichliebeholz]

Nice Video! And helpful! 👍🏾 Greetz from Germany 😊

[@tcgene]

Awesome video!! that breaking the trick down part is what got me landing my first few switch heelflips. they were super sloppy of course but I got them.

[@cdplaya]

Many thanks! Same for me to get switch heels more consistent. I realized that by focusing on the feeling of the board rolling off my knuckle, I could land them almost every try!

[@The_Joe00s]

Can you our did you make a how to Mollie kick flip video before I'm gonna check after typing this, I'm definitely gonna see if this help's me do a heelflip, I did a few before but maybe it will be easier if I do the tip that you gave me, keep up the good vids dude!

[@bronzewand]

Awesome video. I remember twisting my hand all the way round back in the day to do a full cab flip. Upside down switch stance is crazy.. I never even thought of trying to do tricks like that before.. I've gotta get back in the lab😅

[@cdplaya]

Yeah! I'm sure you have the Bonus tip down pat then if you are doing cab flips 😸

[@runawaynleave]

yet again not only a quality video but a very helpful one at that! thank you for the time and effort you put into this content as for i think i speak for most us when i say we appreciate you :)

[@cdplaya]

Thank you for this comment! Hearing the feedback drives me to make more! 😁

[@Ikirupp1994]

Awesome

[@ethanwaldock2515]

This is my favorite channel. You should do a collab with The Gripsion

[@cdplaya]

Thank you! 😁 I'm not opposed to a collab!

[@kryzboisdead]

bro i am at 1:36 and already i got better at landing flips to grinds😯

[@Patterson66]

Amazing really helpful

[@skatehiphop_fb]

Two things I find helpful is - practice without board, if I am struggling with a trick. The board becomes and distraction and you therefore lose focus on what the fingers should do. If you hand motion is right, the board seems to follow along. And the other one is - think straight 😊 when the boards land to the sides, this can help you back - think straight line

[@LanzHD]

I did bigger flip first try with this tut 🔥🤙🏼 thanks
