The Bigspin Fingerboard Podcast

On this episode of The Bigspin Podcast, I sit down with fingerboarding legend Mike Schneider at his home in Andover, Massachusetts.. the same spot where the very first Rendezvous took place! If you know, you know! Over the course of nearly four hours, we talked about Mike’s legacy in fingerboarding, founding one of the most influential and longest running brands in the scene, FlatFace, and his newer ventures with Blistered Fingerboard Wheels and Duck Decks.

We also dive into the current state of the fingerboard community, plans for the future, how the scene has evolved over the years, and everything in between. Throughout the day we took breaks for lunch, sessions, and just hanging out, making this one of the most genuine and in-depth conversations I’ve had on the podcast!

Huge thank you to Mike for welcoming me into his home, for everything he’s done for fingerboarding, and for continuing to inspire the next generation of fingerboarders around the world!

This episode premieres May 1 on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

On this episode of the Fingerboard Podcast, we sit down with Kyle from URETH, a Phoenix, Arizona based brand specializing in recycled fingerboard wheels made from real skateboard wheels. Kyle breaks down his journey into fingerboarding, how he got started experimenting with recycled materials, and the process that eventually became URETH.

We dive deep into the Arizona fingerboard scene and the energy that comes from being surrounded by so many heavy-hitting brands in the area. Kyle talks about how that environment pushes him to constantly level up and refine what he’s doing with URETH.

The conversation also explores the history of recycled wheels in fingerboarding, including the people who came before him that reached out, offered guidance, and helped move the craft forward. Kyle shares why doing your own research is critical.. not just when learning how to recycle skateboard wheels into fingerboard wheels, but when building any brand from the ground up.

We also get into the realities of scaling a company inside an already niche community, especially when every set of wheels is made in small batches and can take up to three hours to complete. It’s a detailed look at craftsmanship, patience, and pushing innovation within the fingerboard world.

This episode drops Friday, April 3, 2026 on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

This time around, we catch up on everything that’s happened over the past year, from the growth of the brand to the wins, challenges, and everything in between.
We get into what it’s really like trying to balance being a fingerboarder while also running a brand and creating content. Manny opens up about the pressure of being seen as an “influencer,” the stigma that can come with that, and how he’s been navigating his place in the community.
We also talk mental health, staying grounded through the highs and lows, and how success can shift your perspective in ways you don’t always expect.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper catch-up without diving into some current fingerboard hot topics including Westcoast Fingerboarding, Politics in fingerboarding and Skate rip graphics!
This one is honest, reflective, and packed with insight from someone who’s been living it in real time!

On this episode of The Bigspin, I sit down with Matt Ripple, the owner and founder of Pipsqueak Fingerboard Wheels, based out of Michigan.
In a short amount of time, Matt has built Pipsqueak into one of the most talked-about wheel brands in fingerboarding. Known for delivering high-quality performance wheels at an affordable price, he’s found that rare balance between accessibility and craftsmanship. But what really sets Pipsqueak apart is Matt’s creative approach to special colorways..  from wheels infused with precious stones and metals to some of the wildest concepts in the scene, including pieces of mouse bones. 
We dive into Matt’s deep love for skateboarding, his long history in fingerboarding, and the mindset it takes to grow a respected brand in such a tight-knit community. He opens up about the reality of starting a brand from scratch, risk-taking, and staying authentic while scaling demand!
