Fingerboarding:
Welding Passion
into Precision
Mark Mendenhall (Phoenix, AZ) is a passionate creator and fingerboarder based in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in Southern California, he discovered skateboarding and fingerboarding during the early days of Tech Decks. After a break, he rediscovered fingerboarding in 2016-2017 during a late-night YouTube binge, which led him to connect with Rizen FB locally in Arizona. Since then, he’s embraced the scene, focusing on smooth, simple tricks while appreciating the creativity of others’ combos.
With a career rooted in welding and fabricating, Mark made a bold leap in 2023, leaving an unsatisfying job to pursue his dream. He invested in equipment and launched Grind Right Fingerboarding, starting in his garage. Thanks to overwhelming support from the community, he quickly expanded into a dedicated shop space. Mark reinvests heavily in tools and equipment to keep innovating, offering fresh and fun products to the fingerboarding world.
Grindright has grown significantly in just over a year, and Mark credits the community for its success. While he doesn’t have an official team yet, he’s grateful for key supporters like @jakepfb and @fb.christopher, who have shared his products in their videos.
Exciting projects are always on the horizon. Currently, Grindright is working on solid aluminum parking curbs and collaborating with other creators in the community.
