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

[@Fingerboardlife613]

I had it for like6 moths

[@scorpio_1641]

I still got it, help!!!

[@No1zHerO]

I hate when that happens

[@mikeesculto7953]

Started 200. Stopped. Started again and now it’s happening again in 2024 2:48

[@Tyler_the_lil_chef]

I just took a break from fingerboarding then when I started again the pop stutter was gone

[@DLFingerboarding]

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

[@Turtlepod08]

The amount of school desks I've fingerboarded on is just 💀💀💀

[@Grass_Choppers]

Bro you just brought back memories from elementary.

[@randomdefault1658]

[@maxaronie]

Bro, I know I did😊

[@KITAZZ-X]

Lol I did ❤

[@toaster6701]

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

[@ZeroStako]

Try breathing and focusing on your breath. This one actually helped me out a lot, as I noticed that I literally hodl my breath when I try to pop up. Force yourself to breathe regardless and try to match your pop with your exhale. Hope this help!

[@mikeesculto7953]

It helped me out a bit but when I try slides or grind flip out, it comes back 2:54

[@JeshaHD]

Love the video, your made me back to fingerboarding.

[@unscathedpilot6249]

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

[@zombeatz1334]

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

[@sjoeppie]

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

[@cameronmackinnonYT]

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😅

[@braydenweathersbee3280]

hmm thanks for the tip

[@ChillFb]

ikr i used my hand was always so tight and i could barely do tricks, but after a lot of practice i got better and it went away

[@cheezz0]

same

[@doart6903]

i had that pattern when I started fingerboarding fr and what help me a lot was doing olies on the wall

[@gabbydube5757]

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 😊

[@braydenweathersbee3280]

thats cool bro this guy that use to make fingerboard videos and the gripsion knows who this is david jones he got me in to fingerboarding

[@gabbydube5757]

@@braydenweathersbee3280 cool 😎 I think I saw that guy before

[@Hunne2303]

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)

[@ofcitzsk8]

Puberty hit him HARD, sounds like a whole new person

[@ZeroStako]

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.

[@mello-sesh]

Awesome vid! Great tips bro , been skating forever just started to learn fingerboarding it's just like learning to skate again . Having a lot of fun thanks for this vid helps a lot . In day 3 atm so still learning to Ollie so hard . But any more tip vids would be amazing

[@benfz888]

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.

[@Benjiusx]

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

[@cammoize]

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

[@Patterson66]

Is there good grip tape on Amazon is so which kind

[@Carsonfishing679]

When I would get jammed for committing to the trick I just put my extra finger boards in the middle of my desk so I had to do the Ollie to get to the other ramps

[@DontTripDusa]

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

[@Wwin_Motivation]

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

[@Collinr1210]

I used my airpods as a marker when I was trying to olly and it worked

[@Free2Tolly]

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

[@lenox5227]

i want to learn how to nollie but my brain already registered my middle finger as the finger that i used for popping the board and now when i try to nollie it just wont pop because i always use my middle finger to pop not the index

[@definitelynotclickbait8283]

what's up with your wheels??

[@shabnambashiri8549]

my fingers can't stay on my board when trying to pop. any help pls

[@lifeinprisonWV]

another banger video

[@alextheboss134gaming]

What is your discord server

[@michaeldavis6981]

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.

[@cammoize]

I can’t help but use my thumb to help need to cut it off or something to stop it but irl I skate but this is hard to do

[@L1GHT_PLAYZ]

I can’t really pop the tail of the board when doing an Ollie my the tail stays on the table and the nose goes up but I’m not sure how to fix it

[@hartd_fb]

when I was starting with fingerboarding i didnt have a problem with poping the board but one day my techdeck flew out of a window in my class and after that i had the pop thing and it was really frustraitng I dont know what helped me but it just stop hapening when I tryied to do a kickflip even though I didnt exactly know how to ollie

[@afgan_cukmen]

When i try to ollie i drag the board to back so much why ?

[@Blixxardsp]

Square wheels?

[@Drip_official_____0]

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

[@youneedsomeuhmilk8311]

If i get stuck in that mode where i cant pop the board up i exhale like im hitting a pad or somethi g and it helps get out of that lmao

[@ZeroStako]

[@v1ncewithnohat301]

You da goat

[@essey9713]

my hand keeps tensing up i can do kickflips but ever since i stopped 2 years ago i just cant do it anymore any tips?

[@Hunne2303]

practice, practice, practice...maybe not kickflips right away...I´d go for huge ollies until those are on lock again

[@ZeroStako]

Are you holding your breath when you try to pop? If you are, then your body freezes up in order to save you from suffocating. Force yourself to breathe.

[@saltwatersurfing247]

Nice
