Do U know something about fingerboarding/fingerskating?
It`s cool sport, where U can do all skate tricks (Olle, Flips, Grinds, Lips), but without any injury.
Monkeydog
Does this even count as a sport?I always though this was one of the dumbest things ever too...
SkAZi
Look, if chess and computer gaming is understanded like sports, why finger is not? You must have sleight of hand as pianist and better... Just try to do Olle and you understand how its hard...
About "dumbest", and what about wrestling in a dirt? Wink
And in addition, do you think playing in Tony hawk`s Pro Skater on PC or PS better?
Monkeydog
comp gaming shouldn't but chess should cause it uses your mind.Fingerboarding is something a three year olld could do...there is no skill in it and requires very little though...

Please try to pick a topic and not suck.

Chess and computer games are not sports...and playing piano (well) is harder than finger boarding...which actually IS harder than it looks...but still isn't a sport.

and what does Tony Hawk have to do with it?

Sorry, but chess if officially considered sports game. And cybersport (computer gaming) too, at any case in Russia.

Agree, but not with last... Parqure is a children`s game or super extremal sport? It`s defined by your skill.

Monkeydog
Wrong, it`s seems to be easy. In action you need 3-4 hours before your first olle, first kickflip - from 12 to many, many hours... Maybe you don`t know rules of fingerskating: is only 2 fingers used (forefinger and middle finger), no thumbs. It`s hard, trust me...

I mean computer game "Tony Howk`s Pro Skater" or "Tony Hawk`s Underground"...

I seriously don't care what you say. Chess and video games are not sports.

At least not in the traditional sense of sports...

But you know, I usually think sports as things that...take athletic ability.

Beyond moving your fingers.
Monkeydog
I have done these stupid fingerboard things and they are increadibly easy...
and i think chess has been considerd a sport for thousands of years now...

Ok, look at here:
1) http://www.sport.ru/ru/news/20050503/other/article359/ - it`s Russian sports portal, this page about Chess, today rate of best russian chessmasters.
2) http://www.cybersport.ru/ - Official site of Russian cyber sport - sport of computer gaming. This title is accepted by laws.
There is no english versions of this sites... But common sence you can get...
toyzintheattic
****** Russia.
Monkeydog
Almost every contury tho counts chess as a sport so just because you don't think it should doesn't mean it isn't...
dule
what is fingerskating? Shocked
Monkeydog
there stupid little Tech Deck things i want to break so bad everytime i see them...i'm also surprised on how many posts are on this topic...
SkAZi

Fingerboard is a little (9 cm) skateboard, with real wheels, deck and all other parts. You can skate on it with only two fingers.
More info on www.techdeck.com, www.fingerskating.de.

Monkeydog
There is not only Tech Deck, to example there is Berlinwoods - it`s produse wood decks for fingerboard.
lockwolf
Not as fun as the real thing

Agree, but some peoples can`t skating in accordance with different circumstances. Finger is quite good substitution in contrast to PC version of skating.
toyzintheattic
More like it's a pretty dumb substitution.

But regardless, whether chess is or isn't a sport, fingerskating is not.

SkAZi is right. Fingerboarding is cool sport, it's not a game. U can do all the tricks, which u can do on skateboard. And it's also like a sport, because a lot of contests and competitions are carried out!
Monkeydog
Fingeboard reminds me of dolls...cept skateboards...they come with their own little acceroys and stuff..
SkAZi
Monkeydog
Hey, what are you want to prove whith your messages? We all understand your point of view!
I think you so afraid come into view small boy is only because you is a small boy. Show to us what you reach in life, that you can so categorically criticize interests of other.
Monkeydog
I have no idea what you just typed...but really all i'm saying is this shouldn't even be considerd a sport.Anyone can do it within 10 minutes of getting a fingerboard...
SkAZi
You`re wrong. It`s not so easy as looks. I don`t want carry on a dialogue in this way. Why you consort here, if you don`t like fingerkate?
In any way i considered fingeboarding is a sport, it`s not traditional, but it`s a sport. And i can create topic here, becaurse many people think like me.
Monkeydog
pperanApperantly only one person on this board does,one doesn't even know about it,and the other two do and say it sucks.
And yes it is as easy as it seems since when i was in elementry school everyone had a stupid thing and i was able to pick it up in a matter of minutes!
SkAZi
Why so mutch disgust to this pretty-cool thing? Strange thoughts are visited my head... It seems to me that you pass over in silence some facts about your elementary school =)))

u're sooo stupid. Rolling Eyes nobody can do the easiest trick, like Ollie after 10min of getting a finger... most of people study to do Ollie during 1,5-2 weeks. Shocked just buy fingerboard and try to do Ollie after 10min, as u say.. i'm very interested in what u'll say. Laughing
Monkeydog
I don't cause i did a few years ago and was able to do it like i said...

Finger skating a sport? What are the competitions in this sport? Any international sanctioned tournament? As far as I know, it's only a hobby. It's quite fun though.

Competitions? Just for example:

Monkeydog
Just because a hobby has a competetion it doesn't make it a sport...
SkAZi
And what, do you think, make it a sport? What is sport?
supjapscrapper
are you realy serious about it???
do you think anybody would pretend fingerskating is a sport?
I thinkk you should get yourself a look at moutain bike downhill and then you'll get a taste of what a sport is:!!!!
