TILECULT WEEKLY Nº 2

Brazil closed out The Ultimate Rider, an eclipse got rebuilt in miniature on two continents, Morocco poured its first suspended ramp, two brands broke their silence, and a 317 follower account put up a thousand likes on a single post. The scene had a week. Here it is.

Cover story

"A segunda edição do The Ultimate Rider chegou ao fim." @valsfingershop posted the wrap on Sunday, a day after the second Ultimate Rider ran in Florianópolis. The week in front of it belonged to Brazil: @quevedofb put the first post up on Wednesday tagging @chazanramps and @valsfingershop, @rsfingerboard followed, and by Thursday the shop was running a full schedule post — CRONOGRAMA TUR26 — telling people what time to be at Hi Adventure. Four accounts were pushing it before the doors opened, and they out-posted the event itself.

The reel

The whole week in about a minute. Clips, drops, the calendar, and the radar, cut for your feed.

The week in clips

@nestor.f.b: The eclipse, twice.
The eclipse, twice. @nestor.f.b rebuilt Danny León's eclipse clip as a scene and called it the abuelito version. It is the biggest fingerboard post of the week at 2,422 likes. The same week, an ocean away, @caramelfingerboards built the eclipse too. Nobody coordinated it. The scene watched the same thing and reached for the same idea. @nestor.f.b original post ↗
@ramon_angelow: RaMonday.

@fingerdex: Two cities in a week.
Two cities in a week. @fingerdex landed in Palu, then in Batam at Blessed Skateshop, and put five @flatfaceig G4s on the shelf between them. @fingerdex original post ↗
@entity_fb_wheels: New colorways.
New colorways. @entity_fb_wheels added fresh colorways alongside a restock of yesterday’s. @entity_fb_wheels original post ↗

Also cooking: @polidecks broke eight months of silence with Liquid Spyder, Locked On, a one of one WOTW foil and Pink Katz at polidecks.com. @civilmadefingerboards dropped graphic decks at @slushcult Friday 9am PST — artwork by andhika judy, doneep and HNS — with the Crown deck in red and blue already up. @flatfaceig has Sorry For Fingerboarding decks in stock. @6skates opened Sunday with new FlatFace and Blistered wheels, Jay Wheels included, plus Chems and Blackriver obstacles. @this_fb got G Sheets grip, bushings and screws in. @club9decks brought back the OG C9 shape and paired it with a new @3rdstreetramps ledge. And @mikefber138 in Spain put the Knife KL2 32.5 under the loupe, thanks to @krishoused.

Scene report

On the airwaves

@usafbl_fbp sat down with Cody of @sweetskendamas on the USAFBL Fingerboard Podcast to tell the story behind the North American Kendama Open, the event fingerboarding is now sharing a ticket with. @thebigspinpodcast put out two: Mikey from @hardlygoldengoods, recorded at @fingerboardcon weekend, and @hunkfb on the social media side of fingerboarding. @6skates trailed a Gene Senges episode for Friday, the Blackriver rider talking about Martin Winkler. @blackriver_official went backstage with The Browning and Jonny McBee — a metal band crossover nobody had on the 2026 bingo card, in their own words. @ceddyfb cut an edit with @icedfb in the Philippines. And @omg_this_is_brian put a new video up alongside new decks with @marcos_cabrera, pre-orders open.
