| A Conversation with Sorry for Fingerboarding P1 | 24 Apr 2025 | 02:01:02 | |
This episode of The Bigspin is a little different—in the best way. Instead of our usual show build format, this one plays out more like an open conversation. That’s because when you're talking with someone like Nash from Sorry for Fingerboarding, trying to fit his story into a strict timeline just wouldn’t do it justice. Nash is a natural storyteller, and his brand has such a deep history in the scene that trying to cover it all in one go would ruin the flow. So we didn’t. We let the conversation lead us. We touched on everything from the early days of Sorry, to the culture it helped shape, and some of the philosophy behind it all. And the best part? This isn’t the end. In just a few days, Nash and I will be linking up in Boston, and we’re planning to sit down for Part Two. Can’t wait to keep it going. Support Sorry: https://www.sorryforfingerboarding.com/ | |||
