My first experience with fingerboarding was when I was in grade school around 2005-2007. I didn’t know how to play it yet, as a kid I only knew that it had a board and wheels like a real skateboard. But when I became a teenager and had access to the internet. I saw that it wasn’t just a toy, in the US I saw that there were competitions held there and I saw a fingerboarder who owned a flatface, Mike Schneider, who was very good at playing. I gradually learned how to do tricks. The first trick I did was the ollie, and I always did only ollies. Until I did the pop shuv it and my favorite was the kickflip. I played fingerboarding on and off because only a few people were interested in it in our province. I just focused on riding and riding a motorbike because I couldn’t ride and play a real skateboard because I was a big man. I still play fingerboarding from time to time when I’m stressed, it’s fun when you get that favorite trick that’s so clean, I got interested in fingerboarding again because my friend’s wife is a skater in their province and when they moved here we started playing again, now that we’re in our 30s, the impact on us when we play fingerboarding is different because it gives us benefits, it becomes a stress reliever for us, we’re very happy because the fingerboarding community is so big here in the Philippines, especially in Manila, I hope more young people there will be interested in fingerboarding
