On this episode of The Bigspin, we sit down with Ricardo, the owner and founder of fingerboard brand Bullgod, all the way from Portugal. What started as a love for skateboarding and skate culture at a young age eventually turned into a mission to make fingerboarding more accessible for everyone. Ricardo opens up about growing up in Portugal, discovering fingerboarding, and realizing early on that a lot of products were simply too expensive for kids like him to afford. Instead of accepting that, he built Bullgod around the idea that fingerboarding should be for everybody.. no matter their financial situation!

Even as Bullgod has grown into a respected brand offering high-end pro products, ramps, and now even skateboard gear, Ricardo has stayed true to his roots by always keeping affordable options available. We also dive into the Portugal fingerboard scene, the evolution of Bullgod over the last seven years, his plans for the future, and the mindset that’s helped him stay humble through it all!

The craziest part? This episode almost never happened. Ricardo happened to be visiting the US, pulled up to Sunday Sessions, and through pure chance we decided to film this conversation just one day before he flew back home to Portugal. A genuine conversation with one of the most down-to-earth people in fingerboarding!
