HOW TO FINGERBOARD (For Beginners) 

i just started finger boarding, and i see a lot of comments saying that they can’t even flip the board. i was having trouble with that aswell. the way i got the hang of it was by doing it on my bed or on a couch. that way the board can flip back easier because there’s less to stop the board from flipping. i sat in my bed and did this for a few hours, it really helped. once you get the hang on it then you can move to a table. doing wallys also really help getting the motion (plus they’re fun asf).

me and my son collect fingerboards and always look for yours at our walmart. We've only ever found 1 but we still look :)

i honestly just found a tech deck at walmart i have no experience at all and im watching him make the tech deck go on his two fingers IN THE AIR THERES NO POSSIBLE WAY

*Back-foot impossible hack:* For me, the easiest way (and the most authentic/realistic way in my opinion) to somewhat consistently land a back foot impossible, is to first line up the tip of your front finger near the top edge of the middle of the board, and your back finger placed the same position as your front finger is, except your back finger is in the pocket of the tail of the board. (Board-ception MonkaW) Do not go too far or too low, but if you feel the need to adjust, try experimenting by shifting your front finger wherever you might feel like you would set the trick (In mention to the second step). Second, you need to scoop your back finger into shuv-it motion and curl your finger (literally curl it) and try to dig under or wrap your finger around the pocket or tail of the board while in the air. If you feel like the board didn’t pop high enough, try to put and/or set your mind into picturing yourself doing a tre-flip, but instead, physically attempt a back foot impossible, that way, you are tricking your brain into scooping your board faster, and popping the board higher, while wrapping and curling your back finger around the pocket and tail of the board. Moral of the story, sometimes, picturing or imagining yourself doing a different trick that is in a similar motion as the trick you are actually about to attempt might help you get the board in motion better. I hope this helps, and have a great day! Go shred! 😎🤙

Love the tip for learning the Ollie by flipping it all the way over. I’ve been struggling with consistent ollies I’m gonna practice that

Me:trying to do an Ollie and thinking I can do it. Also me: watches video and gets depressed 😞.

"It kind of looks like i know what im doing" 3:10

As someone who started fingerboarding recently I love Andy’s videos as he makes it clear that tricks will be hard to learn

2:25 don't click this I'm just saving my spot

Just stared fingerboarding because I found some old ramps and a board in my mountain condo so I started messing around and now I’m hooked.

ME: normal fingerboarder ALSO ME: looks at the vid anyway

everyone: omg I enjoy watching these videos! Literally me breaking the board cause I can’t even flip it upside down:

Lol I can't even do the flip back Edit: I'm been playing around with it and I finally succeeded when I stood up (cause I was frustrated) and hit the tail as hard as I could, it flipped over (over exceed a little) but then I kind of got it after that. I think my mistake was that I was hitting it way too soft and it wasn't really popping, it would like a droopy pop and then it slide forward. It may help you guys if you just try hitting the tail (really at the edge) quite hard.

Andrew: you don’t have three legs Shaq: 😏

wish i learned this when i started fingerboarding! ❤️❤️❤️

Just got my first fingerboard sponsor, I love watching your fingerboarding videos they’re so funny and hype me up to fingerboard

Originally I used to use my Pointer and my Ring finger on the board and my Middle finger represented an arm. That way you could literally use your Middle finger "arm" for Method Grabs etc. Using your thumb as another arm you can then hit vert and Hand Plant with the thumb while grabbing with the middle. That was like 20 year ago though before Flips etc became the bread and butter of skate

You should do a fingerboard at the skate park with ryden

Yeah looks so fun! I’m laughing my ass off at myself trying to learn the Ollie 😂

i got some finger boards but my dad needs to build my skate park actually i lost my finger boards sad days :(

My step dad had to get surgery on both of his shoulders, hes been off on ei for like 2 years now hopefully you are able to recover

I can’t even get passed doing an Ollie 💀

I've watched a dozen beginner fingerboard videos and this is the best one I have found.

I've been finger boarding for 5 years but I still watched

Andrew: People don’t have three legs Also Andrew: at least I think Me: 😳

Sam tabor equals handboard king Andy equals finger box king

For the rail I used this little metal rod that I found when I was like seven while I was hiking with my mom so I taped it to my table and it actually works Thanks for the tutorial. I know how to do an Ollie now

The bois out here have 3 legs 😏. Thx for the ollie btw

Me: not a beginner Me again: ima watch this 😂😂😂

This is a very good tip. If you’re watching this practice on your leg and off obstacles in your free time. You can eliminate rolling the board all the way over such as the 3rd finger as well and it’ll be just as clean. Once you get it down. Focus on the hight of the ollie by trying to get over an obstacle. Then you’re GOLDEN and for a kickflip just make a peace sign after the ollie.

Great Video man this helped me so much picked it up day one watched some other peoples vids and didnt understand then u simplified it so much and walked me through all around amazing video (Btw i can successfully do an ollie now thank you so much)

Yaa

I’m not even a beginner but I still watched this video and loved it

The best advice I was given is pop then push the board forward just like drop kicking a football.

I just want an Ollie tutorial that also shows how to pop up because I just can’t get that down😭

I watched ur first vid tutorial and watched a t a few times when starting now I'm pretty good and proud of myself

Or a game of fingerboard skate at the skatepark and Andy does it switch and ryden does it regular

YOOOOOOOO THE KING BACK WITH ANOTHER VIDEO

No matter how fast I go back, I can't pop the board up!

I'd say a really big factor in getting good at fingerboarding is studying skateboarding proper. If you build up your knowledge and understanding of skateboarding physics, tricks, style, and culture (even if you can't do it with your feet) then fingerboarding will almost come second nature. It's also something that comes from just daily practice. John Hills company was a huge inspiration to me getting good at fingerboarding. Progress Daily is the best mind set to have. Lower your bar, set smaller goals, cherish the small victories and land something new every day.

Wow this video is great I’ve watched about 50 other useless vids but I just finished watching this one and after 15 minutes I can do an Ollie! Thanks

This video helped me.now I know tricks best RU-vidr

no matter what, whenever i try to do an ollie or pop shuvit or whatever my skateboard just flies away

I started doing skate board legit once and now I’m addicted

Got my tech deck collection confiscated in school when I was 3 and never got them back. I was good at finger boarding but I forgot. So I wanna learn again.

Hello i’m still on the search for revive teck decks but I look every single time I go to the store I love your videos hope you’re having an amazing day and keep up the great work 😁👍

Thanks for the video! I can’t seem to flip the board over without using my thumb!! Do I just need more practice?

Tip for people trying to rolling it on side of your leg to the other side of the other leg then when u have got the hang of that try doing little Ollie’s of like a bed or what ever your wearing on your legs and try to do it to leg to leg

Thanks for the tutorial to fingerboard this is so helpful from Phillipines stay safe

1:54 This is it. This is the secret sauce to understanding how to olie. Thanks so much.

Andy's videos are always so much fun 😎👍 and entertaining.

Best finger board video on RU-vid

Loved it♥️

I love these things and I’m getting one of them in a couple of days and I know it’s gonna be fun because it’s already a big trend at my school

this helped me so much and thank you for teaching finger boarding to all of us

My fingerboards “edges” are to big so I can’t do an ollie

I got one for my office desk job and it's great. Best fidget gadget there is

I will never be able to fingerboard agin

This dude just taught me how this is why I love him man

I hate how Andy goes back and forth before he does a trick but I can’t complain Bc I used to do that too lol

So i grew out of playing with toys cuz I'm 13 and in to sports. I was at Wal-Mart and saw the revive tech decks and I was like ANDDYYY

i did and ollie on day 1, ive literally started practicing for like 2 or 3 hours

Love your fingerboard videos- your my favourite RU-vidr

my finger board won’t go up🥺

Thanks for all the little tips and explaining how to do the tricks

The only trick I could do is missing an ollie

Thank you for teaching me🙂🙂🙂

Sam tabor always try’s to act like Andrew but we know who’s coolest(Andrew)

Thank you for keeping the fails in it made me feel better

WHY IS THIS SOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!

Nice smart clock dude!

This isn't very helpful when you literally can't flip it upside down onto your fingers

I know this is not the right channel but what a coincidence... FINGERBOARD WEEK! If you know, you know.

Hello I’m a new fingerboarder and thanks for all of the help you gave me

Get mine tomorrow can’t waittttttt

I am so thankful for this👍🏼

Me actually being new to finger boarding and hearing this guy :'' For start do a BashOfIngerraid or a GasshoFroNtweaelflip " Me: God damn💀....God damn💀

Thank you because when I was trying to flip it onto the back of my fingers I actually did a short ollie

I hit the like button with the wheel of my fingerboard

Your such a good teacher:)

Legend thank you. This’ll be my evening..

Thank you

Cool. I had never heard of fingerboarding until 30 seconds ago when someone on a show I was watching, First Dates Espana, mentioned it. I had to check it out.

i have been trying to find your channel recently im so glad i found it

Thanks for the help Andy

I hit my first clean Ollie thanks to this guy, thanks so much!

Thank you for the tips😁

6 months ago i thought i would be able to learn an ollie in a minute, and i didn’t, so i gave up, glad i didn’t give up permanently

thx Andrew now I learned fingerboarding :)

Hey Andy I found the same tech deck as you yesterday

Omg thanks I can do an ollie now! No one before has told me to flip the board upside down first.

tbh i just started to do fingerbording bc of my olds brother so i started yesterday and just by watching both of his finger bording vid for begninger it has my me alot better

Finally a tutorial that I can understand

Andy do you ever ride a longboard that would be a really cool video of just riding long boards around your town 🤔 ?

I love that you show all of your mistakes. It makes you realize that it IS hard and not easy like most fingerboarders make it look

I just started into getting skateboarding but thank you!!

Got one in pound game for Christmas now learning
