DOYOU's first episode points a camera at Sydney's fingerboard scene

Here is everything the makers have stated publicly, in their own words on Reddit:

• The film is a fingerboard documentary filmed in Sydney, Australia.
• It profiles five people: in the post's phrasing, "5 prominent people within the fingerboarding scene in Sydney."
• The title marks it as DOYOU S1, E1 — season one, episode one.
• It was, per the poster, recently released.

That's it. The post links to the film on YouTube. The "S1,E1" framing implies a series, but at the time of writing the makers haven't announced a second episode, a release cadence, or whether future episodes stay in Sydney or travel. They also haven't published a runtime, a release date beyond "recently," or a production credit list in the thread.

Twenty-five minutes, five people, and a claim the film makes in its own first line: fingerboarding "has grown far beyond being a toy."

Robert Brodie hosts and directs, and the episode follows each of the five through what they build and why they keep at it — in DOYOU's words, "how FingerBoarding has influenced their lives, the friendships they've built, and the passion that keeps the community growing." The film sets out the ground it covers just as plainly: "custom fingerboard parks and handcrafted decks to ticketed events and everyday dedication."

That is not a vague promise, because each of the five is the person doing one of those things:

• Faye runs Abducted Fingerboards, an Australian shop stocking decks, trucks, wheels and obstacles — and the one putting on the meetups, trade days and competitions behind the film's "ticketed events."
• Mitch publishes Find Some Time, an 80-page perfect-bound print fingerboard magazine, and runs FSTDIY, which casts concrete pool coping for people building their own parks.
• Brendan makes handmade decks at Vividwood Fingerboards.
• Juan (@jayjay.fb_) is in the film and also shot Mitch's segment.
• Ben (@Benyfb_australia) is the fifth.

A shop that runs the competitions, a print magazine, a deck brand, and the people filming each other: that is a scene's infrastructure, and it is the reason a five-person documentary can carry a whole city. The descriptions above come from the film's own summary and from each person's shop or publication — the episode itself is free, and runs 25:01.

Australia sits at the awkward end of almost every fingerboard supply chain. Decks, trucks, bearing wheels and ramps mostly ship from Europe and North America, freight is brutal, and a lot of what a local scene runs on ends up being made at home or carried back in luggage. Scenes that survive that math tend to do it through a few stubborn people rather than a retail ecosystem.

That's exactly the kind of story a five-person documentary can carry, and it's why "underground" in the post's title reads less like a pose and more like a description of logistics. Whether the film delivers on it is for viewers to judge — and the Reddit thread is where that judgment is being handed out, which is precisely what the makers asked for.

Episode one is on YouTube, linked from the r/Fingerboard thread posted by u/doyou_au on September 11. It went up on 1 September 2026 and runs 25 minutes and one second. Its description carries the full cast and crew.

DOYOU tells Kingpin that episode two moves off the fingerboard table: the focus is Sydney's car and street racing scene. No date has been given.
