Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from and how did fingerboarding come into your life?

Hello I’m from Kentucky, and I was introduced to it by my older cousins; they loved skateboarding and also had tech deck fingerboards so of course being one of the youngest they gave me one and it all started there

Is skateboarding part of your life at all, and how does it relate to fingerboarding for you?

I’ve always cruised and taught myself basic tricks, but it’s the commitment it takes to learn even just basic tricks- I’ve also had to dedicate some time to learning new tricks but the art and creativity is the biggest thing getting to be creative with making obstacles and designing my own boards

Who were some of your earliest inspirations in skating or fingerboarding, and how did they influence your style?

Biggest one Steve caballero! But also Paul Rodriguez for fingerboarding Martin Ehrenberger i remember seeing his videos for the first time YEARS ago and was just took back by how fluid he was and consistently hits tricks, and the spots i liked how his videos felt they were very creative, it was just pure artistry

What was your first setup like, and what companies or riders stood out to you at the time?

First set up was a Broken knuckles (P-Rep) honestly for beginners they’re where to go, they’re so light and was easy to learn on, also sick graphics! Riders at that time would’ve been people representing Tech deck I wasn’t that aware yet of how big this community was 😪

What keeps you motivated and coming back to it?

The community really, I love being able to make art and skating and being around all the good energy has been keeping me going

Tell us about your current setup and your favorite tricks to do.

How would you describe the fingerboarding community from your own experience?

One of the funniest people you can be around

How do you feel about the cost of fingerboarding products today?

Really I wish it could be less expensive for us to be able to have our hobby, shoutout homemade and companies -Soar, Teaktuning, Run it back (on ig) for making this community better for us people who don’t want to break the bank trying to enjoy this little joy
