It evolved from skateboarding. Players need to use index finger and middle finger instead of feet to make various patterns on the fingerboard. On April 3rd, the "First Finger Skateboarding Fancy Competition" was held in Hong Kong. This brand-new extreme fingertip sport is rapidly becoming popular in major cities nationwide. Finger skateboarding, or FSB for short, is said that on a rainy day in 1998, a boy of 12 years old named StevenAsher was forced to stay at home and was not allowed to go out to practice skateboarding. So he used his imagination to invent a three-inch skateboard with different materials and drew a pattern on the bottom.
His father Peter is the director of a toy factory. Seeing his son's invention, he felt that there was a market, but what should he use as a fingerboard? Steven thinks that real materials should be used, that is to say, real iron wheels and grinding plates should be used. With the help of one of Peter's employees, Steven contacted a skateboard factory, obtained the copyright, and the finger skateboard was officially listed.
Since then, many skateboard manufacturers around the world have joined the ranks of production, and finger skateboarding has begun to rise around the world. At first, finger skateboarding has two main functions: first, when the outdoor conditions are not ideal, skateboarders can use finger skateboarding indoors to understand the essentials of various obstacles; Second, finger skateboarding can be used as a good prop, and skateboarders can use finger skateboarding to study the sliding route and technical movements on the model in competitive competitions.
Gradually, finger skateboarding evolved into a new extreme hand sport. A little finger board has many advantages. Some of them are young white-collar workers, some are teenagers, and the youngest I have come into contact with is only seven years old. They are usually influenced by their classmates around them, so they quickly become popular. I believe that its recognition and love among young people will be higher and higher in the future. The biggest advantage of a finger skateboard less than ten centimeters long is its convenience and flexibility.
As we all know, any kind of sports equipment takes up a certain amount of space and is not easy to carry, but the finger skateboard can be hung on the key ring or used as a mobile phone chain, and even engraved with its own signature, showing its personality, which is both fashionable and beautiful. Because of this, you can take it out to play anytime and anywhere, pass the boring time and experience the fun it brings.
In addition, there are many benefits to the body. Finger skateboarding involves finger movements, just like turning pens, playing "shaking" and playing sparrows. It is not only helpful to train hand-eye coordination, increase the connection between small muscles and nerves, and promote the development of cranial nerves, cerebral cortex and cerebellum, but also creative. Players can exert their creativity and create more fancy styles, which is helpful for painting, playing the piano and playing other musical instruments.
Young players get together as soon as they have time to exchange ideas and share experiences. If this sport can be popularized, it is believed that the problem of "hidden youth" will be reduced. There are many forums and teaching videos about finger skateboarding on the Internet. Some hardcore players often express their skills and experience from it. Beginners can simply follow the instructions, gradually master the essentials through training, and then complete the difficult movements.
Be careful when playing with the fingerboard, so don't leave your nails too long to prevent them from breaking, especially for teenagers. When playing, you can buy medical tape to wrap the fingertips of your index finger and middle finger to protect your fingers. The way for players to teach introductory skills: practice from the right finger.
Conditional entry players try to buy genuine brand goods, the price will not be too expensive, but also more durable. In addition, finger skateboards are divided into toy boards and professional boards. Toy boards are mainly plastic boards, which can be used for collection or simple skateboarding, while professional boards are basically wooden boards. Some big brands of finger skateboards in Europe and America are hand-made with five layers of maple, and the wheels are high-precision bearings made of polyurethane, which are quite different from plastic plates in shape, size and feel. Players can buy according to their own level and actual situation.
The structure of finger skateboard is basically the same as that of skateboard, which is an extension of skateboard on the desktop. Therefore, most of the movements come from skateboarding, which is easy for people who know skateboarding, but even those who have never touched skateboarding, it is not difficult to complete some introductory movements through their basic operating essentials. Before playing finger skateboarding, you should first understand the standing posture of finger skateboarding, first determine your accustomed hand: left hand or right hand, then the index finger and middle finger touch the board, the thumb is open, and the ring finger and little finger are slightly bent.
Even if you know a lot about skateboarding before, you must start from the fingers of your right hand. The experiencer can finish some basic movements on the flat ground first, and then use skateboard props for difficult exercises. Of course, this requires great flexibility and two-handed skills.
