On this episode of The Bigspin, I sit down with Matt Ripple, the owner and founder of Pipsqueak Fingerboard Wheels, based out of Michigan.

In a short amount of time, Matt has built Pipsqueak into one of the most talked-about wheel brands in fingerboarding. Known for delivering high-quality performance wheels at an affordable price, he’s found that rare balance between accessibility and craftsmanship. But what really sets Pipsqueak apart is Matt’s creative approach to special colorways..  from wheels infused with precious stones and metals to some of the wildest concepts in the scene, including pieces of mouse bones. 

We dive into Matt’s deep love for skateboarding, his long history in fingerboarding, and the mindset it takes to grow a respected brand in such a tight-knit community. He opens up about the reality of starting a brand from scratch, risk-taking, and staying authentic while scaling demand!
