On this week’s episode of the USAFBL Fingerboard Podcast, we’re live from the Detroit stop of the 2025 Northern Regional Tour with a special guest, Jake from Rook Fingerboards (@rook_fb)!
Jake opens up about taking two years away from the scene, balancing family and work, and what inspired his comeback. We dive into the origins of Rook FB, the craftsmanship behind his true-wear ink-transfer graphics, and how he’s pushing innovation in deck making. From experimenting with custom lacquers and metallic finishes to revisiting hand-poured concrete obstacles, Jake’s attention to detail sets him apart.
We also talk about the Michigan-Ohio fingerboard community boom, the evolution of U.S. events, and what’s next for Rook FB. It’s a conversation about creativity, discipline, and coming back stronger than ever.
