This week’s episode of the USAFBL Fingerboard Podcast captures the heart and energy of Nationals 2025, a weekend that redefined competitive fingerboarding. Recorded live from Indianapolis, host Levine Cunningham sits down with national champions Mitchell Rushing, Tanner Hench, and Chris Daniels, three riders whose grit, creativity, and precision have earned them a place on Team USAFBL, representing the United States at Fast Fingers 22 in Germany.

From Mitchell’s unexpected sweep of the Southern Regional in Atlanta, to Tanner’s strategic and perfectly-executed runs, to Chris’s jaw-dropping, switch-stance, upside-down combo that left judges speechless, this episode dives deep into what it takes to rise from local sessions to the global stage.

It’s not just about medals or prizes. It’s about mindset, consistency, and community, the shared belief that fingerboarding is more than a hobby; it’s an art form. Through laughter, nerves, and stories of triumph, this episode reflects how USAFBL continues to push the culture forward, creating real pathways for riders to compete, connect, and make history.
