They're like a "family", I think...They're about spreading a
positive message to those who want to hear...
I read some shit the founder wrote about "Finish Strong",
and got a awkward feeling...Like he was trying too hard to get
his message out...A bit preachy...And always stated that the family members never thought they were better than others,
but he implied it throughout the whole text :P

I don't know...Probably a nice idea, not my cup of tea...
but maybe I'm wrong about the whole thing...

can anyone join or is it on invite only? i guess dallas is a member cos ive seen him wearing their shirts.
the idea of generally spreading a positive message seems good though... but preaching it overly sounds too much like organised religion for me.

It's for anyone..you don't have to "join" as it's not really a membership thing. It's really not something that can easily be described though in a few lines though. You either get it or don't.

And it's nothing like an organized religion, there's no "rules" or meetings or preaching really, it's just a group of people doing what they're passionate about and trying to be the best human beings possible.

And their shirts are available in a few spots on the web.

Well technically Finish Strong supports s4c and vice versa..but FSF has their own skate team, and decks! (I'm going to snatch one up soon as I can).
