Matěj Stonek is a 32-year-old carpenter with a passion for designing creative playgrounds for kids. Outside of work, he’s immersed in hip-hop and graffiti, constantly seeking new outlets for creativity—whether it’s in woodworking or spray-painted murals.

Matěj’s fingerboarding journey began in 2005 with a classic Tech Deck. After a break, he rediscovered it in 2020 during the pandemic, diving headfirst into making decks, concrete ramps, and wooden parks. He rides a 97x33mm deck but appreciates boards up to 36mm. Since 2020, he’s organized over 10 events across Czechia, fueled by the local community’s support.
Inspired by SLS skateboarding events, Matěj built his first fingerboard park in 2020, starting with simple materials and learning through trial and error. Now, he uses XPS and embedded mesh in concrete for durable, professional builds. Each project reflects his drive for high-quality materials and design.

One of his most unforgettable moments was attending Fast Fingers in Schwarzenbach, seeing 30 Blackriver parks in one warehouse. For Matěj, the best part of park building is seeing others ride his creations for the first time.

Upcoming Projects
Matěj is preparing for a big fingerboarding event in Brno this April, a traditional September contest, and potentially a second outdoor park in Brno.
