- It turns out that fingerboards weren't just a passing elementary school fad, and Mike Schneider is proof. We sat down with the 23-year-old owner of Flatface Fingerboards to check out his skills, fans and custom made boards. Nice finger flip Mike!

*_Friend: So, do you skate?_*
*_This Guy: That's a good question!_*
Yes but actually no
are yall blind 😂😂 he was clearly skateboarding on damn video
Petrify 0:20 lol
@@gothem1843 this Guy is a child, dont judge him.
*you see, scientifically I do, but I also don't*
The guy seems genuinely happy with himself and what he does. Good for him
I love fingerboarding. He makes great ramps.
Yeah
Flat Face: ”Kid from all over the place come to fingerboard with me”
Kid named board: 😳
johnny this the best comment here
Lol the best comment ever. You must have a dirty mind!😂
Question is, Board is a male or female?
Rusdy Alif
Doesnt matter board will like it
@@rusdyalif9087 female
Imao all these people in the comments section saying that he wasted his life. This dude owns an extremely profitable fingerboard company and makes more money than 99.99% of us.
Right? He doesn't do anything that hurts anyone
Nameer Hoque probably because they got disliked so youtube put them at the bottom :). i
@Joey Maxon You don't have to be a billionaire to be considered rich.
Jaded Joker ur cut cause he’s wealthier than u hahaha
Fingerboard is actually expensive especially that because its professionally made around $100-$200
notice how comments 3 years ago are so positive compared to now
Cause people are sheep, if they come to a video and people are hating they'll start hating but if they come and they see everyone is being corny encouraging they'll join the bandwagon too.
It's sort of like when back in the day having an interest in "nerdy" things like comics and videogames was seen on lame but now that it's popular everyone like it.
When my kid learned to tie his shoe I clapped. Now days...when he ties his shoe...I don't give a fuck. Everyone does it...unless you are a dumbass 2 year old that can't tie shoes.
I know right; Like this is an actual career people pursue, and then you just have random kids born with an iPhone in their hands judging the history and fun of things like this. Like, what can you do, can't draw, can't dance, aren't a good speaker, can't sing, can't play sports well, can't fingerboard; no nothing really.
Low key says a lot. Shits got so negative on the internet in a short ass time tbh
Finally a sport I can't get injured in

I have hurt my fingers so much doing late backfoot flips and hitting my hand into a wall
Tendinitis is a thing man

I don't know why people are hating on this guy.
He started a successful business based on his passion. He's happy. Leave the guy alone
Cam Olson Nobody is hating
He’s a nerd doe
Cam Olson fax
Cam Olson it's because he has a business and they don't😂
xcoMMIV It's exactly because of that. People are jealous that he is living his dream and making money off of it while people are busting their asses at menial jobs to pay the bills. I envy the fuck out of this dude, but I'm young so I have a chance to do the same. Hope it works.
Respect for this guy, he made a small hobby to a big business where small fingerboarders come and meet, it's like cosplaying.
+Respect.
@I-hate-cucumbers Rip its 668 now lmao
Fingerboarding is actually pretty hard
Been doing it for over a year, and still learning new stuff!
Yeah I can't even skate it.
Yeah but compared to actual skating....
@@Daveyyt well you have a point but fingerboarding and skateboarding are completely different
@@melondealer6148 yeah I guess
People are making fun of this thing but they will never understand how satisfied it is to land a trick xD
On a real skateboard yeah....
Or how hard
@Ryan C on a skateboard its way harder
@Ryan C nice ive been skating for a year and I have good ollies, shuv its,pop shuv its,backside 180s, and manuals.I'm learning to kickflip at the moment.
@Ryan C awesome keep going
Props to the guy making it into a successful business.

Bacon is salty as fuck.
@@watermelonpizza7824 the haters gonna hate, people like him are useless to society.
@@potxtoe who cares about society
Honestly kudos to the guy. It may seem like an absurd sport/hobby to some people but the way I see it, he turned a small hobby into a passion project, then into a business, and into a passion for others. It keeps kids/young adults off the streets and doing something much better than cocaine. Plus it helps teach fine motor skills. No shame in this at all.

Well, thanks so much for your approval. I'll let him know.

FINGERBOARDING IS NOT "MUCH BETTER THAN COCAINE". NOTHING IS "MUCH BETTER THAN COCAINE"
@@antifascist1 ^^^ THIS
Fingerboarding is a lot of fun and he made some good choices to make a life out of it. Its really awesome. Great example of passion
The fact homie can do what he loves for his job is amazing everyone stuck working jobs they hate and man is living life

@@josephlyons3393 A lot of people become massive douchebags and bitter as they get older instead of growing personally, this one just got there faster.
i have had three reconstructive knee surgeries and fingerboarding is the only way i can still feel like i can skate i love skateboarding and fingerboarding they both can make u feel the same way cheers everyone!!!
I know this is off topic but, I love that les paul in your profile picture.
I broke my leg pretty badly like 2 weeks ago from skateboarding and I have screws and and a plate in my leg so fingerboarding has helped me not lose my mind so far...
Diamond Smuggler its a epiphone les paul standard for arround 400$ i got the same and its totally worth it! I mean the color, damm
Noice, mine is just some cheap tribute version.
+Sadistic Soul That's cool to know, I would have assumed the two are completely separate. I'm glad you found something that gives you joy after the surgeries
The reason actual fingerboards cost so much is because they are hand made and not mass produced like skateboards. Everything is made from scratch and making just one complete fingerboard can take hours and hours of work.
Fax
true af
Do you realize how hard it is to make skateboarding stuff that’s why they mass produce it with machines
@@DuckySOT That's exactly why it's easier to make skateboards. They're made and mass produced with machines, but fingerboards are not. It often takes hours and hours to make just one. You most likely wouldn't even be able to produce 10 completes in one day.
hope one day it become popular enough that machine will start making them so the price drops!
People are mad because he turned his passion into a career. Do what you love fam!

You: THIS FUCKING SHIT COMMENT
Fingerboarding is a great sport but you should always be safe & wear knuckle pads...
ResinDreams 😂
Lol
If you think about it... that's actually how it would work. And it wouldn't be useless. Seeing those obstacles, anything can happen!
ResinDreams I remember once I was doing some xtreme boardin right, and I wasnt wearin my pads and I took a GNARLY spill and my hand hasn’t been the same since. So wear pads when you board kids
ResinDreams not a sport.. a sport is physical puts strain on your body don't disrespect people who actually do sports..
2016: "Damn he even has a business, cool guy im glad hes happy."
Comments from 2019: "Lmao what a nerd! Look at me."
True :(
Big sad
"Look at me" sums it up pretty well. These people so self-centered that they have to make fun of other people's hobbies just to bring some meaning into their pathetic life. I bet they peaked at highschool.
Well he makes more money than all of us combined
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Forget the money, I just love fingerboarding. That’s good enough, just do what you love.
This man has so many fingerboard parks I’m jealous
0:33 there are no rules in finger boarding/skate boarding
1:58 the rules are.....

You should make tiny skater shoes for your fingertips.
N socks too, to avoid athletes fingers
Chris Pacheco 🤦🏻♂️
Chris Pacheco wouldn’t it be athlete’s hands?
I’ve kinda done that. My cousin had little shoes for her dolls so I stole them and used them as shoes for my fingers.
Braiteyy I need to know!
If you hate on another persons happiness that speaks volumes about yourself.
0:13, you know, he probably had to stand there for like, an hour to make that intro
Not really he is the goat
Hes not sitting
Where did your stupid ass see a chair?
Where he’s sitting
@@kazutomotakayoshtosh wow then he must be among world's tallest if he's sitting and still measures about the same height as those clearly standing and walking around him

maybe everyone was running

Oh my gosh imagine the director told him "ok stand there for an hour pls"

Me: "Shows her this vid"

Dont, it's still not safe, I ended my whole professional fingerboard career cause I tried landing a kick flip but I landed wrong and broke by index finger.😪
Skateboarding, that one sport that is less dangerous than football but gets called out for being dangerous far more often. I love it. My mom encouraged me to skateboard. Lol. I guess I got lucky.
@@RATsnak3 Yeah it's fine as long as you know how to fall correctly and know your boundaries
@@diamondmax5141 I mean, that's not a too terrible of an injury.
@@drcola143 What! How is that not terrible I lost my career I lost the fame the money I lost everything!(I'm being sarcastic)

ey b0ss thank y🅾️u for this comment
Exactly
Drifter D just saying they kinda are but they definitely have there differences
Drifter D well they pretty much are.
Drifter D ikr fingerboarding is was harder
what would be awesome is if the finger boarders wear green gloves and they mask out the hand on an edit!!
Wilson Y the board would have holes in it where the fingers are
@@wyfwoj8418 then you edit it back in. would be very difficult, but possible.
@@wyfwoj8418 hmmm good point... I guess idea still in progress lol
or what if they paint shoes , pants, or maybe a shirt onto the fingers so it looks like someone is skating
WYFWOJ It would probably work to use markers on the board to simulate its movement and overlay a 3d model of it on top of the footage or something
I watched this video and thought it was kind of weird then two years later my friend got me into it and it makes more sense now.
I’m sure all this female friends are very happy with his finger skills
Ooooooo

Randomninja47 plus he makes a good chunk of money doing it.
You don't put parentheses in this certain sentence. I see what you are trying to do, but it's just simply suppose to be commas because you are pausing between the sentence.
Parentheses only comes in as an add on to give an initial thought.

Daniel A yes
Whenever I do finger boarding, my mum just questions my existence.
same bro lmao, when its raining and i cant go skate i just sit inside and fingerboard

When I was little the deck keeps falling of my fingers so I superglued my finger on the board(ps that time I don't have big brain)
I can't skate, I can't fingerboard

try handboarding, it’s easier than both and really fun
