Magic Fingers
"Flippin' heaven ..."
As we have recently been reminded, a fingerboard (or Finger-Skateboard) is a miniature version of a skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks. Measuring an average 96 millimeters long and 26 to 28mm wide, fingerboards can be employed by those gifted few to deliver the same breadth of board tricks that the better known skater pros deliver through their feet. Only in this case the tricks are delivered through magic (highly determined) fingers...
And such nimble digits in (or should I say 'on') the hands of a talented cameraman makes for highly imaginative and creative cinema....
Similar to fingerboarding, handboarding is a scaled-down version of a skateboard that a user controls with their hands instead of just fingers. The imagination has no limits....

Kind of like bull fighting with a pussy cat? Or your dad buying you one of those rubbish miniture sized snooked tables? Or boxing a midget?
Fun. Funny. And you can get quite good at it. But then you realise there's no pain in the development of your game, nor is there kudos amongst your peers, thus rendering the whole idea futile & uninspiring. More to the point, this will not get you laid.
But yeah, it's still good to watch on youtube.
