On this episode of the Fingerboard Podcast, we sit down with Kyle from URETH, a Phoenix, Arizona based brand specializing in recycled fingerboard wheels made from real skateboard wheels. Kyle breaks down his journey into fingerboarding, how he got started experimenting with recycled materials, and the process that eventually became URETH.

We dive deep into the Arizona fingerboard scene and the energy that comes from being surrounded by so many heavy-hitting brands in the area. Kyle talks about how that environment pushes him to constantly level up and refine what he’s doing with URETH.

The conversation also explores the history of recycled wheels in fingerboarding, including the people who came before him that reached out, offered guidance, and helped move the craft forward. Kyle shares why doing your own research is critical.. not just when learning how to recycle skateboard wheels into fingerboard wheels, but when building any brand from the ground up.

We also get into the realities of scaling a company inside an already niche community, especially when every set of wheels is made in small batches and can take up to three hours to complete. It’s a detailed look at craftsmanship, patience, and pushing innovation within the fingerboard world.
