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
