Blackriver

After coming back from a trip to the US in 1998 with his first plastic fingerboard, Blackriver founder Martin Ehrenberger quickly realized that almost every skateboarding trick can be replicated 1:1 with a fingerboard.

He then conducted his market research, to find out that there was not one supplier of professional fingerboarding equipment in the whole world. That marked the beginning of Blackriver. Being a trained carpenter, Martin then built the first fingerboard ramp, the all-time classic, Big Mama.
