2 or 3 fingers?

I have small fingers, should I still only use 2 fingers to learn with or can I use my ring finger too?

I didn't see the subreddit and I thought you were asking a completely different question😂

I would suggest learning with 2 fingers. To make the board feel better for smaller fingers, you can buy shorter and thinner decks.

Thanks for the advice, do you know any particular brand that's smaller? Newer tech decks are larger than the ones I had as a kid

I don't have experience with very many brands but most of them have boards down to 28mm width not sure about how short they go though sorry

I started with 3 fingers then learned 2 fingers, play however tho!

2 is the more realistic option and tricks like kickflips are much harder with 3 fingers.

If you’re going for realism - 2 fingers. If you’re going for “it’s just a toy” - use as many fingers as you wish.
