We dive into the long journey of getting a skatepark built in Corydon, Indiana.

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.
