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 whole week in about a minute. Clips, drops, the calendar, and the radar, cut for your feed.
The week in clips
Fresh wood: all live now
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.
On the calendar: the next three weeks
Scene report
- Morocco is pouring. @hct_fingerboard posted part two of the Taghazout fingerskatepark build: first ramps poured, and a suspended bridge ramp that worked. 1,635 likes, the second biggest fingerboard post of the week, for a concrete pour.
- Plaza Abstraction #013. @sausage.ramps finished a three by four foot remix park with bumper technology, custom for @popupparksnyc — a mini mini, box 5, and wood sampled through.
- Ten thousand. @thevaultfingerboards hit 10k and turned it straight into a giveaway. "We wanted to give back to our community."
- Mall park. @cjmorshed filmed the @gnarly.fingerboards park at SM North EDSA in Manila. Fingerboarding in the mall, publicly, on purpose.
- Five years. @dudeguy.fb is a week out from the company's five year anniversary, with shieldless bearings and new F1 and F2 colors landing Sunday.
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.
