Fingerboarding is miniature skateboarding. On an approximate scale of 1:10, the small boards are steered with the middle and index fingers. All the tricks of its "big brother" - skateboarding - can be imitated.
Fingerboarding was invented during the heyday of bowl skating in the late seventies. Innovative skateboarders came up with the idea of using popsicle sticks to mimic skateboards in order to create their lines for competitions in empty sinks. This worked well because the physical processes are the same. With an almost infinite number of tricks and possible combinations, this unique sport never gets boring.
Fingerboarding promotes creativity, fine motor skills, and concentration, making it a great educational tool. It also greatly enhances the understanding of skateboarding.
