On this episode of The Bigspin Podcast, we sit down with legendary pro fingerboarder Chris Daniels for a deep dive into nearly 20 years of fingerboarding history. From his early obsession with skateboarding and discovering fingerboarding in its infancy, to becoming one of the most respected names in the scene, Chris shares stories and insight that only someone who truly lived through every era can give!

We talk about his longtime sponsorship with Blackriver, traveling to Germany, building lifelong friendships with people like Mike Schneider, and witnessing the rise and fall ofncountless fingerboard companies over the years. Chris also gives some awesome hot takes on the current state of fingerboarding, what actually creates longevity in the scene, and why some brands, creators, and riders last while others disappear!

This episode is packed with history, perspective, laughs, and real conversation from someone who helped shape modern fingerboarding culture. Definitely one of those episodes that could’ve gone another three hours… part two might have to happen sooner rather than later!
