Paper Trains
Turning a paper train into a custom graffiti piece! In this video, I check out my new Mini Spots graffiti book, break out the paint markers, and freestyle a PAGER piece directly over one of the trains printed on the pages. Then I test a brand-new airbrush to add shading, highlights, and depth to the finished artwork. These pages give you a miniature train to paint without leaving your desk. It’s a fun way to practice graffiti lettering, experiment with color, and turn a sketchbook session into your own little freight train painting project. Watch the piece come together from the first marker lines to the final airbrush details. I’m building the letters as I go, working through the shapes, adding color, and seeing where the freestyle process takes me. The airbrush adds another layer to the experiment, giving me a chance to explore softer shadows and highlights alongside the sharper paint marker work. And because painting should be fun, we’re bringing a little Bob Ross energy into the train yard: relaxed commentary, creative detours, and a suspicious number of markers on the table. In this video: • A look inside the Mini Spots graffiti book • Freestyle PAGER graffiti lettering • Painting a printed train with paint markers • Building letter shapes, color fills, and outlines • Testing a new airbrush on paper • Adding graffiti shading, highlights, and dimension • The finished custom train graffiti reveal If you’re into graffiti art, paint marker drawing, graffiti sketchbooks, miniature trains, or watching an idea develop into a finished piece, come hang out and paint with me. What should I paint on the next train? Drop a color combination or lettering idea in the comments. And let me know: do you like the paint marker look on its own, or the added airbrush shading?

Th!s FB Throwdown
Fingerboarding, custom parks, competitions, and a full day of family fun! I finally made it to the seventh annualTh!s FB Fingerboard Throwdown, and brought my family along for my first time attending this event. The shop brought together its lineup of quality fingerboard products, a ton of event sponsors, and a community of people ready to hang out and skate. From experienced fingerboarders throwing down technical tricks to families checking everything out, there was plenty to enjoy. One of my favorite parts was how much there was to do beyond the fingerboard competitions. They had family-friendly games like bags, fingerboard bowling, and other creative challenges that anyone could jump into—even without knowing how to fingerboard. It made this feel like a community party where you could bring your kids, meet people, and have a good time together. Of course, there was plenty of fingerboarding! Best trick and best line competitions gave riders a chance to show their creativity, consistency, and technical skills. There were additional competitions throughout the event, too. We couldn’t stay for the entire day, but we caught some of the action and got plenty of sessions in while we were there. I also brought the fully custom fingerboard halfpipe I built so other people could try it out. Getting to share something I made and watch people find their own tricks on it was a highlight. Other attendees brought their own fingerboard parks, ramps, and obstacles, which meant there were all kinds of new setups to skate. That’s one of the coolest parts of a fingerboard meetup: getting to ride something you’ve never seen before and seeing the creativity people put into their builds. Alongside the parks and competitions, there were food vendors and vendors selling art, knickknacks, fingerboard gear, and more. Between the sponsor support, shop products, handmade obstacles, and local vendors, there was a lot to explore. This video captures our visit to the seventh annual Throwdown: fingerboard sessions, custom parks, competition highlights, family-friendly games, and a look at the people who make this community so fun to be part of. Whether you’re into tech decks, professional fingerboard setups, DIY fingerboard ramps, or just curious about your first fingerboarding event, come hang out with us! Big thanks to the organizers, sponsors, vendors, and everyone who brought a park or helped make the day happen. Stoked we finally got to attend! 🛹 What’s your favorite part of a fingerboard event, the competitions, trying new parks, meeting people, or checking out the gear? Let me know in the comments!

Graff - Camp - FB
We headed into the mountains to spend some time outside, ride ATVs, and get creative. My dad recently built a new garage, so I brought the spray cans and painted a freestyle mural on it. Follow along as the painting comes together, from the first marks to the finished wall. Of course, I brought the fingerboard too. Between painting and exploring, we caught some fingerboard clips with epic mountain views behind the tricks. Hard to beat a session with a backdrop like that! This video brings together a few of my favorite things: making art, riding, fingerboarding, and spending time with family. Come hang out for a little mountain adventure with a laid-back, Bob Ross–inspired feel. Let me know what you think of the finished mural—and which fingerboard clip was your favorite!

Jersey DIY
I went searching through New Jersey for a hidden DIY fingerboard street par, and somehow actually found it! I talked my wife into heading into Jersey with me even though I didn’t have an exact address. I only knew the general area and that this underground fingerboard spot was supposedly hidden beneath a bridge. After driving around and searching, we finally discovered it—and the place was even more epic than I expected. This DIY fingerboard park is built like a miniature street skatepark, with handmade concrete obstacles, ledges, banks and rails surrounded by bridge pillars covered in top-notch graffiti art. In this video, I document the entire search, explore the park and get some fingerboard clips at one of the most unique DIY fingerboarding spots I’ve ever visited. As someone who loves fingerboarding, skateboarding, graffiti and building DIY fingerboard obstacles, this place brought all of those worlds together perfectly. It felt like finding a secret full-size street spot built specifically for fingerboards. Major respect to the builders, artists and New Jersey fingerboard community responsible for creating and maintaining this incredible place.

Colorado Skateparks
My buddy Brian Bell came through Colorado for a couple of days, so I took him to five of my favorite places to skate. Welcome to the 40-and-up old man club: good friends, plenty of concrete, and a full day of seeing what Brian thought of our local parks. We hit everything from big skateparks with room to cruise to a tiny neighborhood spot and a DIY session in Boulder. Some concrete is smooth, some is rough, and every park has its own lines. A bunch of friends joined us along the way, which made this less of a ranked “best parks” list and more of a proper Colorado skate day.

Joy Cult
Skateboarding and fingerboarding keep getting closer, and this setup is a perfect example. Today I’m unboxing and setting up the 34 mm Joycult x Creature David Gravette fingerboard, with Joycult x Independent trucks and the smaller Joycult wheels I’ve been riding. Once it’s built, I skate it for a bit and take it out for a few street clips. As someone who grew up skateboarding, I love seeing skateboard culture cross over into fingerboarding. The David Gravette Creature graphic is one I’d be excited to see on a full-size skateboard, so getting to build it as a fingerboard, with Independent trucks to match, is especially cool. It makes this feel like a real skate setup in miniature. I’ve been riding the small Joycult wheels, and they’re dope. I want to try the Classics eventually, and maybe even one of the bigger shapes, but the ones I’ve looked for always seem to be sold out. If you’ve tried multiple Joycult wheel sizes, let me know how they compare and which shape I should pick up next. This video is the whole experience: opening the new setup, putting the 34 mm deck together, getting a feel for the trucks and wheels, and seeing how it skates on a few street spots. I’m looking forward to spending more time on this one. What’s your favorite crossover between a skateboard brand and fingerboarding?

Graffiti & Skate
Some skateparks just get it right. Most parks give you concrete and call it a day, but Scott Carpenter Skatepark in Boulder, Colorado has legal graffiti walls. Kids can grow up with skateboarding and graffiti culture side by side, without anyone getting in trouble for it. I spent the day painting a fresh graffiti piece on the Scott Carpenter Park walls, then stuck around to film a skate session once the paint dried. After 20+ years of getting paid to make things look right (approval rounds, client notes, revisions), it's freeing to paint with no notes at all. Nobody's grading you. Someone will paint over it next week, and that's part of the plan. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then somebody else gets their turn. In this video: 🎨 Painting loose: color down first, details built up in layers, not overthinking it ☀️ Mid-summer Colorado sun cooking the paint right on the wall 🌧️ Going from extreme heat to a full downpour (I didn't check the weather 😅) 🧱 Years and years of paint layers on these walls, and the whole park is covered in graffiti 🛹 Skate clips after the walls dried, until my legs were toasted 🧢 Some old-school spray caps.

Commerce City park
Today we’re skating Pioneer Park Skatepark in Commerce City, Colorado—and we brought a full crew. If you love manuals, ledges, technical street skating, and finding lines with your friends, this park is a seriously fun spot. For Manny and ledge skating, it’s one of my favorites in Colorado. What made this session even better was getting to skate with Gershon Mosley. I grew up watching Gershon skate, and it’s so dope that I can now call him a friend and roll with him. Having him out with the crew brought a whole different energy to the day. Pioneer Park Skatepark has 16,900 square feet of concrete and a mix of street and transition terrain. The street side gives you plenty to work with if you like putting together manual and ledge lines, while the transition side has its own character—including an over-vert capsule. We came out to explore the park, film clips, and enjoy a full day of skateboarding with friends. I’ve been skating for decades, and sessions like this still get me hyped. It’s not just about landing a trick for the camera. It’s about the conversations between tries, watching your friends skate, and leaving with a few clips and a good story. If you’re looking for skateparks near Denver or planning a Colorado skate trip, put Pioneer Park on your list—especially if Manny pads and ledges are your thing. 📍 Pioneer Park Skatepark 5950 Holly Street Commerce City, CO 80022 Have you skated Pioneer Park?

Custom Cards
Today I’m making custom One Piece trading cards! I stopped by a local comic and card shop and picked up a few random packs of trading cards, including Pokémon cards and an imported pack of One Piece cards. I couldn’t read anything on the One Piece pack, so I had no idea which characters or cards I was about to pull—but that made opening it even more fun. After cracking open the pack, I transformed every card into a completely original piece of custom trading card art. I painted directly onto the cards, worked around parts of the original artwork and gave each one its own hand-painted Pager One treatment. Some started with simple ideas, while others turned into much more detailed custom card designs as I worked through the pack. I love the crossover between collectible card games, anime, illustration and street art. One Piece has an incredible visual world and so many recognizable characters, colors and designs that make its trading cards perfect for custom artwork. This was my first time opening and painting an entire pack like this, and I definitely want to try more custom Pokémon cards, One Piece cards and other collectible card games in future videos. Watch the full process—from visiting the card shop and opening the mystery pack to painting each card and revealing the finished custom One Piece trading cards.

DIY MIRROR ART!

I started by covering the mirror in tape, drawing my design directly onto the surface, and carefully cutting everything out by hand. Once the stencil was ready, I sprayed the exposed glass with frosted glass spray, removed the tape, and revealed the finished design. This is a fun and surprisingly easy DIY art project that you can customize any way you want. You don’t need expensive tools or a professional studio—just a mirror, tape, a sharp blade, frosted glass spray, and an idea. It’s a great way to make personalized wall art, upgrade an old mirror, create custom home décor, or make a one-of-a-kind handmade gift. The most satisfying part is peeling away the stencil and finally seeing the frosted design come to life. There are always a few nerve-racking moments when you’re cutting directly over glass, but the finished mirror made the entire process worth it. If you’re looking for an easy weekend art project, DIY mirror makeover, or a new way to create custom glass art, give this one a try!

Building a spot at Hobby Lobby! FB
I went to Hobby Lobby with no real plan—just wandering the aisles looking for random materials that could become a DIY fingerboard spot. Somehow, this little experiment turned into one of my favorite fingerboard obstacles I’ve ever built or skated! I searched through the store for anything that could work in a miniature skatepark setup and ended up finding a wooden tray, extra wood, popsicle sticks, moss, paint, glue and a bunch of other craft supplies. The goal was to take ordinary Hobby Lobby finds and transform them into a completely custom fingerboard street spot. Before heading home to start the build, I had some time to kill before a meeting, so I stopped at a park and tested the tray exactly as it came from the store. I caught a few fingerboard clips on the raw setup, then brought everything home to paint, customize and completely rebuild it. The final spot turned out even better than I expected. It can be skated in several different directions and configurations, with ledges, banks, gaps and multiple lines packed into one compact fingerboard obstacle. The versatility makes it feel less like a single obstacle and more like a complete mini fingerboard skatepark. This was one of those DIY projects where experimenting, wandering around and finding unexpected materials led to something way better than the original idea. I seriously can’t wait for you to see how a random Hobby Lobby tray became one of the coolest fingerboard spots I’ve ever made. Let me know in the comments what store I should explore next for another DIY fingerboard build—and what you would add to this spot! • DIY fingerboard obstacles and miniature skateparks• Fingerboard sessions and street clips• Custom fingerboard graphics and setups• Fingerboard product reviews• Art, building and behind-the-scenes creative projects Follow my artwork and other projects:Instagram: @Pager.OnePortfolio: Pager-One.com
Air-brushing a skateboard!
This one started as a full-blown summer garage sale day — kids running a lemonade stand, stuff everywhere, sun blasting, and me trying to sneak in some time to paint a skateboard with the Let’s Resin airbrush paint set. I wanted this video to feel real because that’s exactly how most creative days actually go. You don’t always get the perfect studio setup, perfect weather, or perfect schedule. Sometimes you’re painting in the driveway while the kids are selling lemonade, the garage sale is going on behind you, and you’re just trying to make something happen before the clouds roll in. I got a good chunk of the skateboard painted outside in the sun, tested the color, flow, coverage, and how the paint handled through the airbrush. Then Colorado did what Colorado does — the weather turned fast — so I had to bring the whole project back into the studio and finish it under better control. Huge thanks to Let’s Resin for sponsoring this video and sending over the paint to test. I’ve been trying to push more art, painting, skateboards, fingerboards, and real creative process videos on this channel, and this was a fun one because it mixed real life with the work.

48 HOURS IN DENVER
This video starts out with a little outdoor creative session, customizing some concrete barriers from Ryse Fingerboards. I’ve always loved the crossover between skateboarding, fingerboarding, graffiti, design, and making things by hand, so taking these miniature concrete obstacles and turning them into custom little skate spots was the perfect way to kick things off. Then Denver got hit with one of the wildest hail storms we’ve seen in a long time. After waiting that out and letting the weather clear, we headed downtown and wandered around the RiNo Art District for the night. RiNo is one of Denver’s best areas for street art, murals, food, graffiti, and creative culture. We walked around, grabbed some local food, hit some fingerboard clips, checked out walls and murals all over the neighborhood, and saw a bunch of work from artists and friends I’ve known over the years. The whole area is packed with color, texture, old buildings, alley spots, hand-painted walls, and that raw creative energy that makes Denver feel alive. Later that night, we stopped for ice cream at Heaven in the RiNo area and kept the night rolling with more wandering, art, food, and fingerboarding. The next day, I headed over to Denver Skatepark, also known as D-Park, one of the most iconic skateparks in Colorado. I’ve been skating there since the early days and still remember being around when the park wasn’t even fully finished yet. It was rad to get back there, stack a bunch of fingerboard clips, and get a couple actual skateboard clips in too. This one is a full Denver creative skate day — customizing Ryse Fingerboards concrete barriers, surviving a crazy hail storm, exploring the RiNo Art District, checking out graffiti and murals, grabbing food and ice cream, fingerboarding around the city, and ending it off with a session at Denver Skatepark. Come hang out for a mix of art, skateboarding, fingerboarding, Denver street culture, local food, murals, graffiti, and a little old skater energy.

Printing in NEON! Pantones
This video is a full breakdown of the custom GOO fingerboard graphics I designed — from the original sketch phase all the way to production-ready print files and final packaging execution. I walk through my entire creative process starting inside Procreate, where I sketch and develop the initial artwork concepts by hand before rebuilding everything professionally in Adobe Illustrator. From there, I take the designs into full technical production mode — setting up dielines, print layers, bleed, safety zones, and production specifications to prepare everything for manufacturing. One of the biggest focuses in this project was experimenting with holographic material and understanding how to design FOR the print process instead of just designing visuals. These graphics were engineered specifically for holographic stock with a matte finish and NO white ink layer, allowing the raw holo material to explode through the bright neon Pantone-style colors underneath. The result creates insane color shifts, reflections, and movement depending on lighting and angles — something you can only really achieve when you understand both design and print production together. This video isn’t just about fingerboard graphics — it’s about the intersection of illustration, branding, packaging design, prepress, and manufacturing. I break down how I think through artwork technically, how files get built for real-world printing, and why understanding production is just as important as making something look cool on screen. If you’re into fingerboarding, graphic design, packaging, print production, Illustrator workflows, holographic printing, or creative process videos — this one goes deep. FULL PROCESS: → Sketching in Procreate → Vector rebuilding in Adobe Illustrator → Technical print setup → Dieline creation → Pantone/neon color workflows → Holographic material prep → Matte finish execution → Packaging + production design → Final fingerboard graphics reveal This is the kind of work I love doing — blending raw illustration style with real-world manufacturing and production knowledge.
Printing fingerboard Packaging - Slush cult
n this video, I dive into a mystery blind bag fingerboard unboxing from Slush Cult Fingerboards and take you behind the scenes of how helped Clayton at Slush Cult create the custom Mylar packaging for the mystery bag itself. This isn’t just an unboxing — it’s part fingerboard review, part packaging design breakdown, and part skate session. I ordered a mystery fingerboard blind bag online, cracked it open on camera, and checked out what I got — from the deck graphic and shape to how it feels when skating. After the unboxing, I break down the process of creating custom Mylar packaging, talking about how the bags are made, branding, and how packaging plays a huge role in building hype and value around a product like a mystery bag. Once the board is out of the bag, I put it to use with real fingerboard clips, testing how it performs and giving you a feel for how it rides. Whether you’re into fingerboarding, blind bag unboxings, Slush Cult gear, or custom packaging and branding, this video covers all of it.

Painting fingerboard obstacles
In this video, I take a full set of custom concrete fingerboard obstacles and bring them to life, from raw to fully dialed. We’re talking handmade cement ledges from brands like Ryse Fingerboards, Darkmatter FB, Foul Fingers, and ABC Studios — some of the best in the game when it comes to realistic, skateable fingerboard terrain. If you’re into fingerboarding, you already know… nothing feels better than a properly made concrete ledge. The weight, the texture, the sound — it’s as close as it gets to real street skating at a small scale. This video walks through the entire process: Prepping raw concrete fingerboard obstacles Painting with acrylics for a natural, worn-in look Adding graffiti details using paint markers + brush work Building layers, texture, and realistic street wear Finishing touches to make each piece feel like a real skate spot Then putting them to the test with a few fingerboard clips This isn’t just about making something look cool — it’s about creating functional, skateable art that actually improves how your fingerboard setup feels, looks, and performs. Whether you’re building your own fingerboard park, customizing obstacles, or just into fingerboard art, DIY builds, and street-style graphics, this is the full behind-the-scenes process. Concrete obstacles hit different — and once you ride them, you won’t go back. Let me know what you think of the art and the process and if you have and marker suggestions or tricks of the trade let me know! Appreciate you checking it out ~ Tristan Minton ~ @Pager.One
LA - TRIP TO SEE PSL SKATE LEAGUE - with Julian
This trip was bigger than just a skate mission… I flew out from Colorado to California to watch one of my longtime friends, Julian Christensen, compete in the Paul Rodriguez Street League (PSL) — and it turned into something way more meaningful than I expected. I’ve been skating and filming Julian for over 20 years. From being a young grom landing everything in sight… to now getting drafted FIRST into PSL by Paul Rodriguez himself — and then going on to dominate — it’s been insane to watch that journey come full circle. This video documents that whole experience. We hit the ground running in California — straight from the airport to the streets like we were 18 again. Sessioning legendary LA spots, linking with some of the best skateboarders in the world, and skating parks all over the city. We made our way through iconic locations like the LA Courthouse and other classic spots that have shaped skateboarding culture for decades. Then it all builds up to the main event… The PSL competition. Watching Julian step into that environment — competing at the highest level — knowing how much work he’s put in over the years… was unreal. He’s always been one of those skaters who could do it all — destroy contests while still putting in real work in the streets. That balance is rare. And that’s what makes this story different. This isn’t just about competition skating — it’s about a full journey: Growing up filming street parts Skating legendary spots Grinding through contests And earning a place at the top level of skateboarding To close out the video, I wanted to take it back… You’ll see never-before-seen old footage of Julian, mixed with clips from the entire crew — a full-circle moment that shows how far everything has come. This one means a lot. -~@Pager.One ~ Tristan Minton Extra clips filed by : Ray Montes - Brian Bell - Marc Wilcox
