Chris Emerson Interview1
February 28, 2012 by MartinB. | 5:55 am
Hello Chris! Tell us about who you are, where you from and whats your daily business.
– Hey, My name is Chris Emerson. I live in Oregon, USA. I’m just a dude who loves fingerboarding and skateboarding!
How do you get in touch with fingerboarding?
– I usually bring a fingerboard around with me through my daily activities, but I don’t get down until night time. That’s when I usually film and try to learn new tricks.
Whats your current setup?
– I just set up this new Elevate deck, it’s actually a prototype. Elevate is a new company that I’m helping some friends with. It’s going to be released through Fingersk8 distribution soon, so stay posted!
What is your favorite trick?
– My Favorite trick would probably have to be any kind of 360 flip, or bigspin trick. I just like how tricks look when they go 360.
Do you have any favorite rider or a video that influenced you?
– …. So one rider to influence me? I didn’t even know people were serious about fingerboarding for a long time. I’ve used tech decks forever until I somehow stumbled upon Elias Assmuth KILLING. I’ve watched that “Elias Assmuth at the Harric’s 2011” part a million zillion times. Aside from that,
I pretty much grew up using a tech deck with my friends for years. I’d have to say skateboarding has had the biggest influence on me. I probably wouldn’t know other people actually do real tricks on fingerboards though, I owe that one to Elias.
Which fingerboard experience you liked the most (contest/jam/session)?
– well, since I haven’t been “in the scene” for very long, i have only really had normal sessions. I guess I did just enter FFI’s co op comp, that was super fun. I’m gonna have to go with the “progression session” haha I like when I learn new stuff the most. Those are my favorite.
And finally do you want to thank someone?
– I’d like to thank everyone at Fingersk8, my homie Scotty Riggins. I’d like to thank Kerry at Unite Fingerboarding, that dude always posts my videos on his site! I want to thank everyone at FFI, Elias Assmuth and I’d like to thank all the fingerboarders out there for making what we call “fingerboarding” more than just a hobby. And a big thanks to you guys at fingerboardTV!
THX Chris!
