Battle at the Ubec 2: Fingerboard Competition
FBS Germany in coordination with KOA Treehouse, Rebel Fingerboards, Fingerboards Store presents Battle at Ubec 2 this February 21, 2015 at the KOA Treehouse.
A fingerboard is a working replica (about 1:8 scaled) of a skateboard that a person “rides” by replicating skateboarding maneuvers with their hand. It can also be referred to as a fingerskate or fingerskateboard. The device itself is a scaled-down skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks.
A fingerboard is commonly around 10 centimeters long, and can have a variety of widths going from 29 to 33mm (or more). Skateboarding tricks may be performed using fingers instead of feet. Tricks done on a fingerboard are inspired by tricks done on real skateboards.
Battle at the Ubec will also include live performances by Finding Apollo, Memento Vivere, Me and My Friends, Cyca, 3 Seconds Notice, Annulled by Nature, By All Cause, Carousel and J.I.D.
This event is sponsored by Deadways, POU, Blanko, Frankestee & FBS.
Registration for the contestants is 75 pesos with free foam tape and iced tea.
