Official Rules & Guidelines 

Levine is the visionary behind Plies Magazine. With a deep love for fingerboarding culture and community, he launched Plies to create something the scene had never seen before: a legit, print-and-digital monthly magazine dedicated to the art, people, and progression of fingerboarding. Levine handles the big-picture planning, partnerships, business development, marketing, and editorial direction—pushing the magazine forward while making sure every issue drops on time and with purpose. When he’s not running Plies, he’s organizing USAFBL events, building out new projects, and connecting with the global fingerboard community.

Known as the “grumpy old man” on the USAFBL podcast, Brian is the creative engine behind Plies Magazine. He designs every issue from cover to back—handling layout, graphics, and video with a bold, culture-driven style. From merch drops to media edits, Brian makes Plies more than a magazine. His vision shapes it into a collectible, bringing consistency, edge, and a visual identity that’s sharp, smart, and rooted in the world of fingerboarding.

Gary is the magazine’s unofficial heartbeat. As our culture vibe checker, he keeps Plies grounded, raw, and real. He makes sure everything we do—how it looks, reads, and feels—stays authentic to fingerboarding and the people who live it every day. Gary speaks for the community, calling out anything that feels off and guiding the tone of the magazine with his unmatched eye for what’s legit. If it passes Gary’s vibe check, it’s good enough for Plies.

Age is the bridge between Plies Magazine and the fingerboarding world it represents. With a deep network in the scene, he helps us make key connections—securing front cover features, highlighting underground talent, and lining up stories that matter. Age brings the people and the moments that shape the culture straight into the pages of the mag.
When you see someone in Plies who deserves their shine, there’s a good chance Age had a hand in making it happen.
