I spent a day with PRO FINGER BOARDERS

come back next week for I spent a day with KARL JACOBS ≡ ▸ open.spotify.com/show/5aOLuPenneHbhLh05fmkeu  ▸ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-spent-a-day-with/i…

I would love to see a “I spent a day with Anthony Padilla”? Basically you sitting down, interviewing yourself and telling us what you have learnt from this series and all of the different people

This was amazing!!! I had so much fun, thanks again for having me on the show :)

Fingerboarding has helped me through a dark time. I used to be a 100% die hard skateboarder, it was my life, I lived and breathed skating. I had been skating for about 22ish years and I was hit with a bunch of shit all at once, I got this severe deadly lung infection and came within a day of actually dying. Because of the sickness I lost around 70lbs including my muscle mass that I had developed from skateboarding for so long. Once I was out of the hospital and starting to get healthy again I started skating again, pushing around, trying to build my muscles back up. That didn't last long cause about 3 or 4 days into that I completely blew my right knee out. Mcl, pcl, and acl, destroyed. Now I couldn't even walk. It was one of those "career ending" injuries. Well while rehabilitating from that, my other knee blew out... how ironic lol Anyways, I can't skate anymore, like physically can't do it, and it was the saddest thing I've ever experienced. I found fingerboarding, and it has filled some of that empty hole that losing skateboarding, the love of my life caused. I never would've thought something could help like this, but it has.

Mike Schneider is an actual legend in their community, not just for skill/talent but mainly for his contribution to the craft

I really appreciate that Anthony filmed this episode after spilling a whole cup of coffee on his shirt. Such dedication.

me: “is this really real?? i could do that in my sleep.” 5 minutes later: my index finger has a broken fucking ankle.

Seeing people just unapologetically enjoy something they’re passionate about, something that just brings them pure joy no matter what anyone says, will always be so inspiring to me.

Man, mikes smile when he talks about picking up the hobby as a kid and starting his website, is just so infectious. You can honestly tell that all three of them are so excited to talk about the sport. This video was super fun overall.

I love how Anthony treats his guests with respect, even if the subject matter might seem "silly" or weird to outsiders. I have to admit, even I was like "seriously?" when I read the announcement last week-- but seeing it in action and hearing these people talk about it, I get it now. And honestly, it's a harmless passion. If they're having fun, who cares? Life's hard enough without judging someone over something like fingerboarding.

Ah, finally something that I don’t have to pay EA for to gamble my money away on skateboard crates

Am I the only one who gets a blurred part of the video from 5:34 to 5:45 and from 6:06 to 6:08, as well? And then again from 10:03 to 10:13... Everything else works well, so I have no idea what the hell is going on.

It is so awesome to see you people took this to another level. When I was younger I exzactly started out the same; directly hooked to fingeboarding, doing it with a friend, and taking it with me everywhere! I even taped ramps to my bedside, so if I couldn't sleep I would fingerboard from in my cosy bed. I actually stopped doing it trough the years, just because other things took my life over. You really took me back to some beautiful times in my life, and I am going to get a fingerboard again ASAP! big love <3

I didn’t even know that pro fingerboarding was a thing but this is incredible!

So stoked to see our shop and brand have a cameo! Come by anytime man we had a blast!

My favorite part is the creativity of building absolutly everything from scratch. I love carving out my own boards and the process of painting them and making obstacles and parks and trying out different materials and learning new things from others in the community

absolutely loved this video, longtime fingerboarder since i was a child. i'm in my early twenties now, and although i don't fingerboard as often as i used to, or don't really attend the events anymore (wanna change that soon), i still ALWAYS have a fingerboard lingering around. right now its a flatface g15 splitply with black blackriver trucks and g4 BRR edition wheels. thank you for this anthony, loved the OG smosh videos and your new content

I love how they play and handle the boards, it's so satisfying to watch

dude ever since i was a little kid i loved making tiny environments, making the parks for these skaters would be so fun

can someone explain to me why there was a blurred section at 5:34-5:45 ?
