I think this podcast is awesome. I've been fingerboarding since grade school and everyone makes fun of me for it but I love this hobby that I've kept. I was beat by one of my parents for it. I don't hate my parent for that, but I have and will always keep practicing tricks. This helps with my autism and I want to start my own board company. I have mike to thank for inspiring me and I'm sure Alex is going to inspire me more as well. Fingerboarding is an art in my opinion and when I start my own deck company I'm going to want to hand paint some of them. thank you both for inspiring people like me to have fun with the hobbies we grew up with. :) keep going and like the title says if someone puts you down for your success, your doing something right.
When you make some decks, let me know, I want one!
It makes me angry that your parent was beating you because of fingerboarding even if you are autist
Dope man, chase your dreams! You like what you like & that’s all that matters, hope to see your board company up & running soon!
Man Alex Garcia is the man! So Charismatic and is funny when he doesn't even try to! Like at 1:10 when he said "...And I've helped out with some *scratches microphone* audio..."
Class act!
Man, when Alex fell in the beginning I thought the podcast was over. Then I noticed it was 2 1/2 hours long. LOL! Glad to see he's ok. Overall great podcast! Love learning new things about people in the community. I think the park space is cool, but, I think it keeps the conversation more fingerboarding based. Where as when you're on the couch, the conversations seem to go a little deeper. Just my thoughts.
This is fingerboarding!!! always starts a story, great vid Mike n Alex!
Best intro this year, hope the recovery wasn’t too bad Alex.😂 The new production setup is good Mike!
I do fingerboard for 1 year i absolutely love it
Alex is a great cinematographer, great fingerboarder, and best of all, a great guy!
Loving the content Mike! Thank you for your work🥰🥂
The quality of this is insane
Amazing vid
So cool hearing Alex talk about Prowood!! I use to ride Ollie’s skatepark in Kentucky (Rip) all the time, and they actually carried prowood boards. I still have a large sticker from the display case in my collection 😢 Great memories!!
Love the new setup!! Was hopin' y'all would lose the couches! ✨
I know that feeling skating a sesh then goin to work its feel like the longest shift
I’m hoping to finally meet Mike at the next rendezvous. I’ve never been to one I’m from Chicago. And I’m always looking for Chicago land area fingerboarders to chop it up with but it’s hard to find most the times
bring back the couch haha. this was dope.
He was not looking at the camera for part of it. 😂
nice c:
Dude over here got a bowl of soup…and a cup.😂
Title is true. I did youtube as a highschooler before anyone thought it was cool and as soon as I was getting somewhere, I quit completely because people found out about it and made fun of me. Was getting 100k views on some vids and had 3k subs. Now, everyone wants to be a youtuber. I know that had I stuck with it, I would have made a lot more money than I do working as an engineer. And get this- I gave the log in information to my "friend" because he said he wanted to make vids with me. Then he immediately changed the email and password. Evertime I asked for it he gave me fake info.
Bro !! Hope his body ok 😭
im alive and well haha thank you 😂
🤣
Flatface sends out damaged ramps. They mark down that its a fixed rate to ship the box. But only ship in flat rate boxes. No fragile package or anything. So when you complain about the damaged ramps. They offer you a silly 25 dollar store credit if you fix the ramp yourself. So that mean they are getting your money, and collecting the 100 dollar insurance for the damaged package. Straight fraud!!!!!!
another great interview! alex is awesome and I loved hearing about how fingerboarding got him a job in film. I'm on a similar path as a video editor and I definitely think filming fingerboard videos sparked my love for video production. I remember the beastpants events back in the day and was so stoked when flatface did a collab event. Also Johnny was a great guy, I still have a concrete mini he made me when he was working with level ledges.
