On this week’s episode of the USAFBL Fingerboard Podcast, we sit down with Mando from Cleveland Bolt Co for one of the rawest and most emotional interviews we’ve ever recorded.

We talk about the rapid rise of Cleveland Bolt Co, launching one of fingerboarding’s fastest-growing hardware brands, the success at Fingerboard Con 2026, and the shocking fallout that happened behind the scenes just days later.

Mando opens up about friendship, business partnerships, loyalty, legal issues, startup mistakes, brand building, and what really happened during the split between the founders of Cleveland Bolt Co.

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we welcome special guest Corey @hoshikuzuuu, a brand new fingerboarder who got into fingerboarding in late 2025. We hit the road to the Gary Graves skatepark grand opening in Corydon, Indiana to compare the experience of getting into fingerboarding in 2026.

We talk about Corey’s journey from modern fingerboarding community, attending his first events, learning tricks, buying setups, contest intimidation, social media, and the difference between watching fingerboarding online versus experiencing it live in person.

This episode gives a rare look at fingerboarding through the eyes of a brand new fingerboarder entering the scene in 2026.
