Yup, aussies, or Ammon Wilkes to be specific, did some amazing repping of fingerboarding by getting it on TV! Check this out.
To summarise, he got in contact with tech deck because they sell really well in Australia, but no one really knows real fingerboarding compared to other countries, and knows that you can even do tricks on fingerboards! He asked if he could help them organise some events in malls and places like that, to spread fingerboarding. They were stoked on the idea, which soon escalated into him being on TV on Kids WB doing a segment "Finding Australia’s Tech Deck Champion". He did tricks and then explained fingerboarding. Sounds like fantastic spreading of fingerboarding to thousands of people who've never seen it before, and I'm sure it was awesome fun too!
For those of you in Australia, check out Kids WB on channel 9 every sunday morning, starting at 7am for 3 weeks. Huge props again to Ammon for doing this! You can read the full story here :)
