FINGERBOARDING MAGAZINE 

The USA Fingerboarding League is pulling up to the Pacific Northwest for its biggest West Coast event yet. On August 15 and 16, the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom in downtown Portland becomes the epicenter of fingerboarding in the United States. For two straight days, the Western Regional will bring together hundreds of fingerboarders, pro competitors, vendors, and content creators under one roof to throw down, link up, and vibe out.
This is not your folding table backyard meet up. This is 30+ skateable fingerboard parks across 5,000+ square feet of space, packed wall-to-wall with competitive riders, industry vendors, heavyweight influencers, spectators, and scene legends. From raffles and mini games to giveaways and surprises, it’s a weekend built for fun, connection, and progression. Whether you’re competing for the podium or just rolling through to session and hang, you’ll feel the energy the second you walk in.
USAFBL has been building this platform for five years, logging over 30,000 miles, hosting 25+ major events, and elevating fingerboarding at every stop. With over 800 league riders in rotation and a growing national following, the Portland Regional is the official Western qualifier, joining Philly, Detroit, and Atlanta to determine who advances to the National Finals in Indianapolis. From there, the top three riders will go global at FastFingers 22 in Germany.
The Crystal Ballroom is the perfect venue for this next chapter. Originally built in 1914 and steeped in music history, it’s hosted everyone from the Grateful Dead to Wu-Tang. Now it’ll host the West’s best fingerboarders.
Friday: 4-10PM (early access at 3 for league members)
Saturday: 11AM-7PM (early access at 10 for league members)
Pro tip: This is downtown Portland. Parking suuuucks. Rideshare, train, bike, teleport, whatever it takes.
