The Bigspin Fingerboard Podcast

On this episode of The Bigspin, we sit down with longtime fingerboard YouTuber Sid, also known as Vicious274, to talk about his journey through almost two decades of fingerboarding content creation! From uploading his very first videos over 16 years ago to building one of the most recognizable channels in fingerboarding with over 20,000 subscribers, Sid shares what it’s been like watching the scene evolve while staying true to himself the entire time.
We dive into how he first discovered fingerboarding back in 2009, the early days of YouTube fingerboarding, and why he’s intentionally kept all of his old videos online as a timeline of growth and memories. Sid also reflects on some of his biggest moments, including his viral Canadian fingerboard event vlog that hit over 500,000 views and even landing on local news coverage at a time when fingerboarding was still heavily misunderstood by outsiders!
Outside of fingerboarding, we talk sneakers, music, skate culture, creativity, and what continues to inspire him after all these years. More than anything, this episode captures Sid’s genuine passion for the community and the mindset that’s kept him going for so long..  “As long as I have two fingers, I’ll always be fingerboarding.”
A super nostalgic and inspiring conversation with one of the OG voices of fingerboard YouTube!!!

On today’s episode of The Bigspin Podcast I welcome back Nash, owner and founder of Sorry For Fingerboarding and part owner of Index Fingerboard Shop in Chicago. This is Nash’s second time on the podcast, and this episode serves as a catch-up on everything that’s changed since part one. If you want the full history of Sorry For Fingerboarding and a deep dive into Nash’s journey and everything he’s been through with the company, make sure to check out his first episode on The Bigspin!

Since then, he’s helped launch Index Fingerboard Shop, which is quickly becoming an important part of the Chicago fingerboard scene as they approach their one-year anniversary. We talk about the importance of physical fingerboard shops, the future of Sorry For Fingerboarding as they approach 12 years as a company, his involvement with KNIFE, and everything else going on in his world.
