Fingerboarding In The Newspaper Again

I always love it when fingerboarding gets to spread to people who'd normally not see it, and newspapers are a great way for that to happen! I mean, how many people read newspapers? Tons. And how many people might tell their kids about what they read? Or might be just that little be intrigued such that they'd google search to see what all this 'finger skateboarding' stuff is all about? It only takes little sparks like that to start a fire, so to speak. And I'm sure the number of people who'd read that and ultimately start fingerboarding because of it is fairly small, but, its still something, and thats awesome, what ever way you look at it.

There's a screenshot from the translated version of the page (badly I'm sure, google is never spot on to say the least XD), you can read the whole thing here.

Raul Jörgensen is the man of the hour so to speak, from a small island off Germany called Sylt. I've never heard of him, but, apparently he did really well at fast fingers and such, so, I'm sure hes a well known rider in the german scene. Language barriers are annoying, would be nice if we could know anyone, but I don't speak more than a few (probably bad at that) sentences of German, haha. So, yea, enjoy the article! Congrats to Raul for getting coverage in a paper and for pushing fingerboarding to even more people! Hopefully one day there will be some English papers covering fingerboarding! All we have to do is show as much enthusiasm and passion for fingerboarding as the Germans do, and it'll happen :)
