The Bigspin Fingerboard Podcast

In this episode of The Bigspin Fingerboard Podcast, we welcome back Mannyg FB, owner of Dungeon Crawl Fingerboards, for a long-awaited part two episode!
**If you want the full backstory on how Manny got started and built Dungeon Crawl from the ground up, be sure to check out his first episode.**
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!

On this episode of The Bigspin Podcast, I sit down with rising fingerboard content creator Graham Scott, better known online as Hunk FB. In a short amount of time, Hunk has built a serious following through detailed fingerboard trick tutorials and relatable, honest content that’s helping a new wave of riders level up!
We talk about what it’s really like coming into the scene as a “new guy,” building credibility in a tight knit community, and navigating the pressure of creating for the algorithm while still keeping it authentic. Graham opens up about the expectations that come with fast growth, how he approaches teaching tricks online, and the balance between performance and passion.
We also dive into his role as founder and cohost of the Split Play Podcast, what inspired him to start it, and how long-form conversations are shaping the culture differently than short-form clips!
This episode is an honest look at influence, impact, and finding your place in the scene!

In this episode of The Bigspin, I sit down with FB Kingston and his dad Jimmy.. the father-and-son duo behind Pop Up Parks out of New York City!
What started just about a year ago as local fingerboard meet-ups in NYC has quickly grown into something way bigger. Pop Up Parks has already expanded to hosting events in California, building real momentum coast to coast. In a short time, they’ve earned serious love and recognition from the community and the wild part? Kingston is only 10 years old!
This episode dives into what it really means to build something together as father and son.. the vision, the sacrifices, the community impact, and the bigger purpose behind it all. It’s about more than events. It’s about legacy, opportunity, and creating space for the next generation of fingerboarders!
If you care about community, entrepreneurship, and watching the next wave grow in real time, this is one you don’t want to miss!

In this episode of The Bigspin, I sit down with Dan, founder and owner of The Ritual, a concrete fingerboard obstacle brand based out of Maine.
Dan is a lifelong skater whose early days skating the streets helped shape his raw, functional approach to design. He’s been fingerboarding since he was six years old, and while he may be newer to the concrete obstacle scene, his work is already standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the most established makers out there.
We talk about his journey from street skating to fingerboarding, how The Ritual’s signature style came to life, and why staying humble and authentic matters as the brand continues to grow. Dan also shares what it means to be selected as a featured vendor at Fingerboard Con this April, a huge milestone for The Ritual and proof that his hard work is paying off.
