There just seem to be no cool things to show you, although a lot of fingerboard-events happen at the moment. Maybe the reason for nothing going on here is that most of us don’t have that much time for writing/filming/finding something awesome. Fabi moved to Berlin this month and had a lot of trouble with his new appartment (he doesn’t have internet there yet) and finding a new job. Phili moved to Munich for the next 9 months for his alternative civilian service. As far as I know it’s the same job, Felix did before and it has something to do with Martin Winkler, but I don’t know it exactly^^. Manu is doing a lot of drugs and masturbation, that’s why he doesn’t have a lot of time for writing something here…additionally he still trys to take a dump that looks like a cowpat..that’s gotta be hard. Actually I don’t really know a lot about the activities of the other guys. Maybe they just keep their machinations quite secret. I guess espacially Wag is currently planning a big coup or something top secret in the Austrian Area 51. I am currently beginning my study in chemistry in Saarbrücken, which means I am going to live there from monday till friday each week. At the moment i attend a mathematical course, which should give me some basic knowledge about basic maths^^
It’s sort of unfortunate that a lot of blogs, which start fine happen to end up dead so fast. (e.g. Fingerskateboardgeruechte). We still hope that Gripskin.de can escape that doom and I am sure it will.
P.S.: Check out the new and awesome

Aight. First Interview, as i remember. English version below.
Manu Hallo
Kenny Moin, jetzt habe ich Zeit für dich.
ManuSehr Gut. Wo warst du denn?
KennySchule, Alter! Endlich wieder Schule.
ManuCool!
KennyNaja, jeden Tag von 8 bis 17 Uhr und Sonntag noch von 8 bis 11 Uhr. Also fangen wir an.
ManuOK. Wie alt bist du, woher kommst du?
KennyAlso erstmal: bonjour! Ich heisse KLEIN Julien, komme aus dem Baguette Land und bin 16 Jahre alt.
ManuWie lange stehst du schon auf dem Fingerboard und wie lange spielst du Skateboard?
KennySchwer zu sagen. Beide habe ich ungefähr gleichzeitig angefangen, das heißt 2005. 4Jahre.
ManuWarum hast du angefangen?
KennyKeine Ahnung, das frage ich mich immer noch.
ManuHmm, jetzt fallen mir schon keine Fragen mehr ein. Erzähl doch einfach weiter.
KennyAlso am Anfang hatte ich ein Techdeck, ein Spielzeug. Ich war sofort begeistert davon, weil man die gleichen Tricks wie auf dem Skateboard machen konnte ( Fingerposition, Gefühl, Tricks, Üben,…) Ausserdem konnte ich damit überall fahren. Jeder Ort ist ein Fingerboardspot. Später habe ich dann das Internet gecheckt und gesehen, dass es eine richtige Szene gibt, mit Events, guten Rampen und Boards. Nachdem ich in verschiedenen Foren war wollte ich auch auf richtige Events gehen um Leute mit der gleichen Leidenschaft kennen zu lernen. Dann bin ich grösser ( KLEIN? *schenkelklopf*) geworden und lebe und liebe jeden Tag Fingerboarding. Manche Leute sind Freunde geworden, andere meine zweite Familie.

Manu Hi
Kenny Hi, now i got time.
Manu Good, what have you been up to?
Kenny School, dude! Finally School again.
Manu Cool!
Kenny Not really. Everyday from 8am to 5pm and on Sunday from 8 to 11.
Manu Aight. Let’s get this interview started. Where are you from and how old are you?
Kenny First of all: Bonjour! My name is KLEIN Julien, I’m from Baguett-Country and 16 years old.
Manu How long are you Fingerboarding and how long do you play Skateboard?
Kenny Hard to say, started both around 2005.
Manu Why did you even start?
Kenny I don’t know, i still ask this myself.
Manu Hehe, now… i don’t know what to ask.. Tell me more about your fingerboard history.
Kenny Well, I started with a Techdeck, a toy. It was love at first sight. I was super stoked because you could do the same trick just like on the big skateboard. But the advantage was being able to ride wherever you want to. Every place can be used as a fingerboard spot. Later i found forums on the internet and discovered the fingerboard scene. I liked the idea of having good fingerboarding equipment and meeting other guys who share the same passion on miniature skateboarding. I now live and love Fingerboarding every singel day. Some people became friends, other my second family.
Manu Beer, water, coke.
Kenny Water + cereals = beer, for shizzle!
Manu Good choice (Chris Daniels will confirm this). Favourite event/setup/obstacle/rider
Kenny Too many / BW+WWZ / everything rideable, or not / PUH, what a question !
Manu What is Gripskin for you ?
Kenny LIFESTYLE !
