The Bigspin Fingerboard Podcast

On this episode of The Bigspin, we sit down with Ricardo, the owner and founder of fingerboard brand Bullgod, all the way from Portugal. What started as a love for skateboarding and skate culture at a young age eventually turned into a mission to make fingerboarding more accessible for everyone. Ricardo opens up about growing up in Portugal, discovering fingerboarding, and realizing early on that a lot of products were simply too expensive for kids like him to afford. Instead of accepting that, he built Bullgod around the idea that fingerboarding should be for everybody.. no matter their financial situation!
Even as Bullgod has grown into a respected brand offering high-end pro products, ramps, and now even skateboard gear, Ricardo has stayed true to his roots by always keeping affordable options available. We also dive into the Portugal fingerboard scene, the evolution of Bullgod over the last seven years, his plans for the future, and the mindset that’s helped him stay humble through it all!
The craziest part? This episode almost never happened. Ricardo happened to be visiting the US, pulled up to Sunday Sessions, and through pure chance we decided to film this conversation just one day before he flew back home to Portugal. A genuine conversation with one of the most down-to-earth people in fingerboarding!

On this episode of The Bigspin, we sit down with longtime fingerboard YouTuber Sid, also known as Vicious274, to talk about his journey through almost two decades of fingerboarding content creation! From uploading his very first videos over 16 years ago to building one of the most recognizable channels in fingerboarding with over 20,000 subscribers, Sid shares what it’s been like watching the scene evolve while staying true to himself the entire time.
We dive into how he first discovered fingerboarding back in 2009, the early days of YouTube fingerboarding, and why he’s intentionally kept all of his old videos online as a timeline of growth and memories. Sid also reflects on some of his biggest moments, including his viral Canadian fingerboard event vlog that hit over 500,000 views and even landing on local news coverage at a time when fingerboarding was still heavily misunderstood by outsiders!
Outside of fingerboarding, we talk sneakers, music, skate culture, creativity, and what continues to inspire him after all these years. More than anything, this episode captures Sid’s genuine passion for the community and the mindset that’s kept him going for so long..  “As long as I have two fingers, I’ll always be fingerboarding.”
A super nostalgic and inspiring conversation with one of the OG voices of fingerboard YouTube!!!

Since then, he’s helped launch Index Fingerboard Shop, which is quickly becoming an important part of the Chicago fingerboard scene as they approach their one-year anniversary.

LC has helped make fingerboarding accessible to hundreds of people around the world by offering high-quality, low-cost setups that give people a real entry point into the hobby. Beyond complete setups, LC also offers higher-end ramps, wheels, and trucks while continuing to grow one of the biggest names in the scene!
Chris has built a massive social media presence through viral fingerboard content and consistent posting, and in this episode we talk about the pressure that comes with always trying to create the next big video. Based out of the Pacific Northwest and spending a lot of time around the Salt Lake City, Utah fingerboard scene, Chris shares his love for action sports, content creation, and his perspective on being one of the brands responsible for bringing so many new people into fingerboarding.. especially people who may not have been able to financially get into the hobby otherwise!
This was a really solid conversation about growth, accessibility, content pressure, and building a brand that reaches people worldwide!
