Introducing the USAFBL Competitive Line Park BY warehouseramps

Built by Dave Ware out of Wilmington, North Carolina and measuring 12 feet long by 2 feet wide, this is the most extravagant park ever crafted under the USAFBL name. As the first ever Competitive Fingerboarding Line Park, it is a milestone in design, performance, and vision. This beauty will be featured at all 2025 USAFBL OFFICIAL EVENTS.

Dave first got into fingerboarding back in the early ’90s, making cardboard parks and riding homemade boards. After a long break, he picked it back up in 2020 and started building. Not long after that, the USAFBL noticed what he was doing and invited him to build parks for their very first season, and he’s been building for them ever since.

Dave admits that his early parks were pretty rough, made with cheaper materials and without much understanding of proper sizing or design. Over time, his builds have evolved. Now, he uses birch or maple wood and steel instead of aluminum, often incorporating brick or stone elements to make the parks more realistic and detailed. Dave’s 25 years as a professional painter have always helped him put a clean, polished finish on every project.

This Competitive Fingerboarding Line Park is set to debut on the USAFBL tour, this park will host two of the most anticipated contests of the season: Line of the Year and Combo of the Year. Every inch was designed with purpose, from the smooth marble tops and marble stair tips to the dynamic layout that flows with endless possibilities.

At the heart of it all lies a never before seen circular red rail, a standout feature designed to push creativity and give competitors fresh ways to link tricks. It is bold, it is technical, and it is built for showtime.

Owner of USAFBL Levine Cunningham points out, “This is more than a park. It is a proving ground”. He continues, “Dave is an essential part of not only our past, but also our future.” The love for the industry of ALL park makers is strong, but arguably there is a massive lack of professional level parks available compared to the growth in fingerboarding over the past 5 years.
Looking ahead, Dave is gearing up for the Carolina Fingerboard Jam ’25, which will take place in early November at Radio FB Shop in Wilmington, NC. It should be another banger.
