Team USA Heads to Fast Fingers 22 + USAFBL Drops New Parks & Obstacles | S4 E156

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re breaking down one of the biggest problems in fingerboarding, how hard it is to get high-quality parks for sessions, meetups, and events. We reveal the official USAFBL obstacles and park lineup, including our modular Stage 1 park system, the park canvas, the Game of SKATE table, and our adjustable table stand built for the perfect session height. We talk about why we’re going against drop culture with always-in-stock inventory, how preorders help us forecast demand, and what this means for the future of competitive fingerboarding. If you want to level up your setup or build your local scene, this episode is for you, like, follow, and share!

Welcome to USAFPL Fingerboard Podcast, the official voice of fingerboarding culture from league news to community stories with real insight, writer interviews and heart of the scene. Please follow and turn on notifications for us. And now let's get into fingerboarding. I'm your host today, Levine Cunningham. Today I've got Brian O'Neill on the mic.

speaker-1 (00:19)
Dude, did I mess up?

speaker-0 (00:21)
Brian, always messing stuff up. That's why I love you.

speaker-1 (00:23)
Okay.

Bam. Look at this. We're going to be talking about some cool. I already had to bleep that because I can't switches in the first, you know, two minutes of the video. Okay.

speaker-0 (00:34)
Yeah, try not to do that.

All right, we've got we got problems in the community. Always problems.

speaker-1 (00:41)
Tell me about the problems, me about the problems, Levine.

speaker-0 (00:44)
Last week was wild for sure. Definitely a lot of drama, but today we're going to get away from that drama. We're going to talk about some real, real problems.

speaker-1 (00:53)
Maybe

last week, last week you talked to XXL in Puerto Rico.

speaker-0 (01:01)
We did that.

speaker-1 (01:02)
You were like, were like, got some, you got some trauma. You've got some pent up PTSD going on.

speaker-0 (01:08)
man for people that know last week, $25, 12 years, lots of stuff going on.

speaker-1 (01:17)
But X, S, X, L, dude, one thing you guys didn't talk about, which I think could blow up the fingerboard community because you mentioned it the week before, which was finger boarding tourism. Who the hell doesn't want to go to Puerto Rico? And I guarantee you we could dump dozens and dozens of finger boarders in Puerto Rico and they would have a great time. ⁓

speaker-0 (01:38)
I

am literally, we're talking about making plans and doing trips and doing all the stuff. Like I'm, I'm really looking forward to making a visit out to Puerto Rico.

speaker-1 (01:48)
Because you got SXL, you've got island ramps out there. What else we got? We got tons of great people out there. Yeah. But check out the podcast. Listen to it. It's linked here in the bio. and by the way, click the like button, follow and subscribe and do the bell and all that other stuff. You bastards.

speaker-0 (02:05)
Can I talk about it? Can I talk about the drama?

speaker-1 (02:07)
Yeah, okay, go ahead. Let's talk about the drama.

speaker-0 (02:09)
All right. It's not really drama. It's just a, we got problems. So we founded USAFBL on events. Like that is like the backbone of USAFBL. And my struggles have always been acquiring parks. Like parks has always been the hardest thing to collect. And if you're the average Joe, I feel like it's even

speaker-1 (02:31)
Poor Levine!

...of 30 parks. poor Levine! You have no idea what I have to go through every single day.

speaker-0 (02:40)
I know it's been, it's been a struggle. Like the stories, the journeys. I mean, I could actually do a whole pot of just collecting all of the parks, how I came across all of them, all that stuff. But it's just like, it is overwhelmingly hard to acquire a park. You either have to a build it yourself. And if you're not a builder, that's kind of tough. Or you have to literally go out and find a person to make a park for you. Or if they have a park, you have to buy it. Then from there.

We got to figure out how to go and get it. Like you get the drive fly. However, like it's just, it's extremely difficult to get one. Okay.

speaker-1 (03:17)
Okay,

so your struggle is acquiring parks for people to come to events and session. But is that that's the same struggle that people that want to set up meets and set up events in their towns and everything else around.

speaker-0 (03:29)
Yeah, because I get a lot of people that want to start up their own finger boarding events, their meetups, like they want to start stuff in their own community, their own hometown. And the first question is like, how do I get a park? How do I get parks to my events? And it's always the same. It's like put out some feelers. Maybe I might know a few people depending on where you live, or you have to literally build your own parks in.

speaker-1 (03:52)
people. Yeah, crowdsourcing parks for your event.

speaker-0 (03:56)
Correct, but for many people it's just Parks is so hard to come by and it's been plaguing the community forever since day one.

speaker-1 (04:04)
Your first event back in 2020, it in Indy? It wasn't in Indiana. was in a fingerboard meetup you went to. went to two of them in one day.

speaker-0 (04:15)
yeah, Indianapolis and Milwaukee.

speaker-1 (04:19)
Milwaukee. Okay. And what did you see when you got there? Because I know there were a couple of builds there, but mostly it was just tables with a bunch of obstacles on them.

speaker-0 (04:26)
Right? Yeah. Mainly all just DIYs. Yeah.

speaker-1 (04:30)
Okay, and they're cool and we love the DIY people but the problem what's the problem Levine?

speaker-0 (04:36)
The is if you want a park, either, you're have to build it, which some people they're like, dude, this is fun. I love building parks. And for others, like, I just want to shred. Like, I don't want to build it. I don't want to deal with tools and wood and sawdust and noise and all the other stuff that goes along with building a park. And then, you know, you got people that are like, I just want a park. Like, I just want to go shred and I just want to buy a park. How do I get that?

speaker-1 (05:00)
I think that there's a misconception. First of all, we got to, we got the DIY people. First of all, don't come at us. We love you. We love what you're doing. You are the inspiration for all good finger boarding parks out.

The misconception is that you can go out and DIY a park for less than what you can buy stuff for. And I just don't think that's true time-wise.

speaker-0 (05:24)
People vastly underestimate how many hours go into making a DIY water park.

speaker-1 (05:31)
vast, just like the just like the underestimate how many hours goes into making a custom fingerboard deck.

speaker-0 (05:37)
This is true. This is very true.

speaker-1 (05:39)
And all the deckmakers out there are like, they're shaking their head like they're like, yep, yep, I get that. They don't understand like 15, 16 hours to make a $60 deck, you know, and people complain about it being 60 bucks, dude, this is like hours and hours of people's lives going into making sure these are shaped and look good.

speaker-0 (05:57)
and quality control and everything's perfected just so that you can have this immaculate piece of art.

speaker-1 (06:02)
and then sell your blim for like 50 % off.

speaker-0 (06:04)
That's the market.

speaker-1 (06:06)
All right. So in 2026, we are going now you wrote this down. I'm like people come at me if you want, but we're going to be the first ones to really fix this problem. ⁓

speaker-0 (06:19)
⁓

Yes, we've spent months, even years of planning this out to where we can now bring people parks directly to their doorsteps.

speaker-1 (06:34)
And when we say parks, we're talking about large obstacles, things that you could put into a table that literally can be a centerpiece. We've got actual parks that are installed, ready to go set up. We've got tables and we got stands for these parks, custom made for them. But we're to go through all of those things. They're all behind me right now. Can you guys see them all? We're going to talk about all of these things.

speaker-0 (06:57)
If you're on the audio, may have to switch over to the video.

speaker-1 (07:00)
video. The videos where it's at, got all the things. We're going to do, we're going to do insets of pictures, like beautiful pictures of wonderful USAFBL parks and obstacles. I don't give a shit. know, with Saki wheels likes me Levine and that's all I care about. I'm just saying.

speaker-0 (07:04)
the future.

So we've got a lineup for you guys. We've spent a lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of resources, and we have perfected our craft to be able to bring you guys a collection of parks, obstacles, game escape tables, half pipes, all the goods. We've got a 10 piece collection that we're basically launching here at the end.

speaker-1 (07:43)
The

vine can I tell people why we're not cool first? Well, no, we're not cool because this is absolutely not a drop. ⁓ This is not a limited edition. These aren't going to be limited supply. We're like, like, listen, I get it. Like, I love everybody out there doing your drops and selling out your stuff. But what we're doing is we're creating a.

speaker-0 (07:47)
We're not cool for a lot of reasons.

Boo-ya-kasha.

speaker-1 (08:07)
basically an infrastructure of supplying these types of products to the market, high quality wood obstacles and parks to the market that you can order at any point in time and they will always be in stock.

speaker-0 (08:20)
That's what's amazing about what we're doing. You don't have to wait. You can, there's no lead time. So when we're talking about parks, we're talking about, you can order it on a Monday and you can get it later the same week. Like we're talking fast.

speaker-1 (08:32)
Yeah, and we're going to and we're going to be starting the shipping in April. So ⁓ the point that we're going to have on this just heads up, if you guys are going to click off, just hear this right now between March 1st and March 20th. ⁓ If you preorder any of these parks, you can get 15 % off. And that's kind of a big freaking deal. They will be available to ship. I don't want to say April 1st because it sounds like an April Fools thing. So let's say March 31st. How's that?

speaker-0 (08:59)
March 31st sounds like a game plan. We could troll on the first though. not opposed to troll.

speaker-1 (09:03)
Well

the first but like I don't want people like these are these are big ticket high high quality products I don't want them thinking. these guys are messing with us. Hey

speaker-0 (09:12)
We could do a quick blister trolling April Fools.

speaker-1 (09:16)
We would we would probably have to troll something like we got bought by tech deck or something Okay, we can't now because we put it on the damn podcast you're an idiot

speaker-0 (09:21)
We should social that.

I don't even know if people listen to Are people even listening to this?

speaker-1 (09:28)
No,

they're not. Hey, real quick before we get into all these products before we lose people, do you want to give them a king of the plies update real quick?

speaker-0 (09:35)
Yes, of course. All right. Third annual King of the Plies. We are. 33. Three. I've been doing this a while. The ultimate outdoor team, multi-city finger boarding contest.

speaker-1 (09:42)
Three years.

You don't have that in your notes. You had to think that off top of your head.

speaker-0 (09:55)
did.

I just been in minutes as I had really kind of talked about and drew it out. But yeah, we've got that if you guys are looking the squad up and you guys want to sign up, definitely DM me on Instagram at USAFBL. Definitely let me know you are wanting to get on the roster for this year. Spots are limited. We've got two years of contest teams already that are basically kind of already a shoe in. But we do have a few empty roster spots if you're interested. We've got them available for you guys.

We're going be launching those details out here very shortly. Probably like two weeks. So being Gary Graves, definitely hard at work and putting all this stuff together. gave him the full reins for challenges. So super excited this year for that. And of course we're giving away like $1,500 cash for first place, like five or $600 cash for second and third. like tons of cash, tons of prizes this year, doing it bigger, doing it better. We also got the expansion packed trading cards out as well. These drops last

speaker-1 (10:51)
It's

Friday. You're going full ⁓ money grabbing horse right now.

speaker-0 (10:55)
Oh man, is that what it sounds like? Yeah, you're full of b****. Give it away Cash and then we've got...

speaker-1 (11:00)
No, no, we have the expansion packed. We, what we decided was we had like first, second and third in the first pack. And then we wanted to extend it to what? Fourth through six.

speaker-0 (11:11)
through sticks, got a couple of honorable mentions in there as well. Definitely go support the program, support your writers, support your favorite fingerboarders for sure.

speaker-1 (11:19)
Pro

fingerboarders man, they got trading cards. That's awesome. I don't know. Sure. Let's leaks. mean, is it like a medical condition? No, no, no, no. Or do you want to actually leak something? Yeah.

speaker-0 (11:23)
Should I leak something?

No,

We'll leak something.

For those that are dedicated listeners, we may or may not be doing fast fingers addition of the trading cards. Ooh, may or may not. I can't confirm or deny.

speaker-1 (11:48)
Bitch, please. okay. So we're not really leaking anything. We're just putting it out there like we're floating it to see who freaks out.

speaker-0 (11:55)
I mean, would it be crazy to have like Nico Frank and Ramon Angelo and all these other guys like

speaker-1 (12:01)
I want to make cards for everybody.

All right. Okay. Now on the high key, by the way, that's a term I learned from the kids now on the high key.

speaker-0 (12:10)
I just had my first experience with the Gen Z.

speaker-1 (12:12)
They're

not low key on the high key. are launching competitive finger boarding obstacles and parks. We USA FBL are launching competitive competitive finger boarding obstacles and parks. I'm excited. They need to know

speaker-0 (12:27)
about

it. They're big, they're massive, and we can ship directly to your door.

speaker-1 (12:33)
By the way, every single video you shot, every video, every damn video you shot for these.

speaker-0 (12:39)
are absolutely massive massive massive absolutely massive massive absolutely massive

speaker-1 (12:49)
It's absolutely massive. It was literally everything you said on every park that we or obstacle we showed.

speaker-0 (12:55)
Cause every single obstacle is like absolutely massive. Almost two feet. they're big. They're huge.

speaker-1 (13:02)
You can't tell by the photos behind me. They're big but But anyway, so everything is built here in the USA, Indianapolis, Indiana, correct? And we're not gonna tell you he's building it for us, but we ain't doing it like Levine's not out there sanding edges,

speaker-0 (13:12)
Act.

No, no sawdust on these hands.

speaker-1 (13:20)
We've got a team of skilled carpenters in a skilled shop that are putting these together for us.

speaker-0 (13:27)
Correct. So everybody here is local to me, which means that you guys are going to get high quality obstacles, high quality parks. And of course, since I'm here locally to be able to overlook everything, that means quality control is on point.

speaker-1 (13:40)
Everything's made out of ballistic birch. What the hell does that mean? It means bulletproof.

speaker-0 (13:44)
Baltic

speaker-1 (13:49)
Baltic. So it's not ballistic birch. It's Baltic birch.

speaker-0 (13:53)
I like ballistic though. Ballistics sounds really cool. But yeah, Baltic birch. It's a literally one of the highest premium versions of the

speaker-1 (14:01)
They're bulletproof in the same way that the Tesla Cybertrucks are bulletproof. ⁓

speaker-0 (14:06)
my god. Well, maybe that was a little too hard. I think like the door is bulletproof maybe?

speaker-1 (14:10)
they're not bulletproof.

Did it all the way through Baltic birch not ballistic birch anyways? Listen,

speaker-0 (14:22)
I don't know

that. can't confirm or deny that they're bulletproof.

speaker-1 (14:25)
Let's say that they're not bulletproof because we're getting into the realm of false advertising at this point, but like the, the quality on these, and we're going to show you all of them. mean, these guys, they knocked it out of the park. We love all the obstacles and stuff. love warehouse ramps. We love black river ramps. We love ABC parks, tiny ramp code. You guys, everybody's killing it in this world, but like our challenge and our problem was is

inventory and supply, we need to have these types of high quality parks available. Obviously, with Black River and US imports and everything else, that's been a big problem this last two years, right?

speaker-0 (15:07)
It's been a really big problem. Tariffs, all the politics that come along with that, it's been a real strain.

speaker-1 (15:12)
So we wanted to basically fill in the gap. want to create some high quality products. Let's get into it, dude. ⁓ started with this idea and actually let's give credit where credit's due. Dave Ware with warehouse ramps. Like he made our competition park for 2025, right? Yeah. And he actually split it into two parts. So it's a two by 12 park, but it's actually in two pieces.

speaker-0 (15:39)
Yeah, one's five feet long, the other one's seven feet long.

speaker-1 (15:41)
Yeah, and so that gave us an idea of what if we took a full-size park and split it into four pieces.

speaker-0 (15:49)
Yeah, it's how do we make something big start off small? Wow, that is really hard.

speaker-1 (16:00)
That's what she said!

speaker-0 (16:01)
And make it easy to transport, easy to carry. Just the whole logistics of having a park, storing a park, being able to have a modular side of this thing literally solves so many of the issues of owning a park, harvesting events, things of that nature.

speaker-1 (16:18)
So we started with a two by four park, two feet by four feet, roughly, a little bit shy of that for packaging reasons, ⁓ put together. Now we only have one. The first one is stage one, which I'm going show it to you right now. This is stage one. We're going to go through all the components and stuff on it. We wanted to have something that would be a two by four park stable on ⁓ its own stand, sold separately. ⁓

but then be able to add those parts together to end up with either what a four by eight or a four by 16, I guess. If we wanted to go that other direction, what?

speaker-0 (16:56)
So this template allows us to basically have a plaza where you can put two two by fours together to make a plaza four by four. Or if you collect all four pieces, once we get stage two, three and four together, it'll make a full scale park. That's an eight foot by four foot park that most of you guys are accustomed to skating and shredding, especially if we come on tour with us.

speaker-1 (17:18)
If you're accustomed to it, if you go to a USA feel that but but yeah, okay, let's ⁓ we've been all over the place or if you go to Mike Schneider's spot, I mean, he's got an entire warehouse full of them. But there is a limited ability of getting full size parks in so we're trying to break it down into bite sized pieces. ⁓

speaker-0 (17:24)
You've all over the place.

But we've got a nice Bolton system where you can actually connect and combine all four pieces of that park to make a eight foot by four foot park.

speaker-1 (17:50)
Okay, now we showed the park. Let's talk about let's talk about the stuff. Well, before we get into that, let's talk about the other two for two by four units that we're going to be having. So we have a canvas, a park canvas.

speaker-0 (18:05)
Yeah, so if you have your own, it's literally I love the canvas. It's kind of like a blank canvas, which is kind of cool, which means you can literally mix and match our obstacles or your own obstacles if you already have some already, which means you can put ledges, rails, kickers, whatever obstacles that you have. You can make your own little park. And so it's a blank canvas for you guys to be able to literally create your own park.

speaker-1 (18:30)
Beautiful surface, wonderful, but in addition to that, we also have this very gorgeous game of skate table, right?

speaker-0 (18:38)
This is actually one of my favorite things. I love the game escape table for people that have seen us on tour, seen the videos, like we're always had that one game escape table. This one is a little bit better dimensions, a little bit wider, a little bit longer. So it gives you a little bit more elbow space to be able to do all your tricks. The finishing on this stuff is absolutely gorgeous. I like the way it looks.

speaker-1 (19:03)
Well, and anybody that's planning events or does events regularly really needs it to have a good high quality game escape table. So this might not be for every average finger boarder out there, but it's definitely for anybody that's into doing events or scheduling events and stuff like that. The game escape table is always a centerpiece of activity, right?

speaker-0 (19:23)
Easily you only need two people you can have tons and tons of hours of fun on this thing

speaker-1 (19:28)
Okay, now before we get into that, let's talk about the adjustable table stand real quick, because that's the boring ass part. And we just want to make sure people understand that we engineered this table stand specifically for these, ⁓ the park canvas, the game escape table and the stage one fingerboard park, right? And what's unique about them.

speaker-0 (19:46)
To be honest, this is kind of like one of the biggest problem solver I see. I run a lot of the Facebook groups and almost everybody's like, I want a table. I don't know what the perfect table height is. Where do you guys find your table? And we've went out of the way to create a table stand that also once again can be shipped to your door.

and it's adjustable, it's adjustable height. So it goes from 35 inches all the way up to 47 inches if you're super, super tall. So you can literally adjust it to your comfort and whether you're short, medium, tall, doesn't matter. That fits everyone.

speaker-1 (20:19)
Okay, so the table stands cool and we got this cool picture. This was fun to shop. This is somebody literally setting on the table stand.

speaker-0 (20:28)
It's super sturdy. He's like what? 220, 250 somewhere in there. So I mean, like it's rated for at least 220.

speaker-1 (20:30)
Very

All right. So now my favorite obstacle, we're going to start with my favorite. Is that okay? Let's talk about the half pyramid. Now this thing right here is insanely beautiful.

speaker-0 (20:43)
Yeah, let's do it.

speaker-1 (20:52)
And it's incredibly hard to build, right?

speaker-0 (20:55)
It's incredibly hard to build our carpenters. We did a lot of R and D trying to figure out how to make this thing as big as it is and as beautiful as it is.

speaker-1 (21:05)
And

again, we did get some inspiration here. I know that on our on our competition park that warehouse ramps build for us, he had a kind of a pyramid platform in one side of it. And we really looked at that and like that is like it's like I don't want to say it wasn't available out there, but I think the reason why it was so rarely seen is they're incredibly hard to build. And so we made this thing's massive. How big is this ⁓ is this pyramid edge to edge?

speaker-0 (21:35)
2 feet 24 inches. Yeah

speaker-1 (21:38)
And it's got an eight inch rail on it. Was that right?

speaker-0 (21:41)
Yeah, so it's got an eight inch rail. got the option of with or without.

speaker-1 (21:45)
So if you bought two of these, can keep one with on one side of it and without on the other side of it. And you'd pretty much have a four foot by four foot plaza just sitting there.

speaker-0 (21:55)
Yeah. So you have a full pyramid and to able to shred that I'm it's it's smaller.

speaker-1 (22:01)
Alright, next one. Let's talk about my next favorite one. Probably my favorite one, the three stair.

speaker-0 (22:08)
The three stairs, so I want to.

speaker-1 (22:10)
Probably

the first thing that I wanted you to design and come out with.

speaker-0 (22:15)
It's interesting. I like the three stair. I love the wider stairs. I like being able to do flip tricks and actually catching the, ⁓ the side of the stair and just go all the way across dates. But we've got it in two finishes. We've got it in natural, natural wood. And we've also got a concrete top, but it is textured paint. So it looks like concrete.

speaker-1 (22:36)
We have fought so much about that. it is concrete. does look like concrete. It's textured, but it is not concrete. Don't fricking come at us to be like, you said it was concrete. It's not concrete. No, it's a textured painted top and it's really beautiful. I called it a Plaza. Cause if you put all four of them together, you end up with basically four directions of great tricks. mean, great opportunities, but

speaker-0 (23:02)
I like it. I love it.

speaker-1 (23:03)
Okay,

so three stair was the last we talked about. Okay, the quarter pipe with extended deck. is, ⁓ I don't like, I'm trying to find where this exists out there in the universe.

speaker-0 (23:17)
It doesn't. think this might be a first of its kind. This thing has- Yeah.

speaker-1 (23:22)
It's in quarter pipes,

but usually they just kick up and then they either have a real small landing space on the top or they just, they kick up to nothing. They're just like that edge.

speaker-0 (23:32)
Yeah, the fact that we've got what is that like 12 12 inch. So 12 inch extended deck on the top. So the cool thing about this is that you can put ledges kickers other obstacles to it to make like a really cool Euro gap or even like kind of a two stair kind of situation with it. It's massive as always. And it's got it's very universal. It's very you can do a lot of things with it.

speaker-1 (23:37)
12 inch platform on top of it.

Okay. And then we've got our, I mean, I don't know. I think this is probably the most sought after item in the finger boarding space, the 10 stair, right? The 10 everybody wants to duplicate a skateboarder going off a 10 plus stair, right?

speaker-0 (24:14)
Yeah, it's highly sought after. is super hard to find still. gotta, it's just hard to acquire. And we just filled that void. We made our own version of the 10 stare. The measurements and everything are completely different than anything else out there on the market. I think it's, just a little bit lower than everybody else's, but this thing's.

speaker-1 (24:34)
I think

without ramp, mean without rail, I think it's around seven.

speaker-0 (24:38)
Tall, seven inches tall.

speaker-1 (24:40)
