Fingerboard World Championship

Fast Fingers Online (2022): The First Online Edition

Fast Fingers' first online edition opened the championship worldwide through video submissions and a livestream finale.

Online result under review

This entry tracks the online-format source trail until an official result can be confirmed.

2022 reinvents the format: the first Fast Fingers Online edition lets riders anywhere enter by video, turning a destination event into a global, video-based contest with a livestream finale.

Part of the Fast Fingers Archive

This is one year in the Fast Fingers Archive — fingerboarding’s longest-running world championship, year by year.

The contest

What happened

Official sources describe 2022 as the first online edition — worldwide participation through video submissions, community events, and a livestream finale with a Top 30 finalist framing. The official navigation links a 2022 online results page, but the visible champion list does not surface a 2022 name. A community history retrospective (cross-checked with the event trophy plaques) names Ramon Angelow as the winner of this first online edition — the same rider who later won FF21 (2024) live, which would account for the 'two-time world champion' framing in his own bio. We surface that as cautious community context rather than an official result, so no confirmed champion record is created for 2022 here.1, 2, 3, 4

The gear

Gear & setup trends

Home spots and filming setups came to the fore — local meetups and self-filmed clips replaced a single contest park.

The scene

Brands & scene

The online format widened access for riders who could not travel to Germany, broadening who could compete.

The mood

The zeitgeist

Remote participation, clip culture, and livestream judging — a different shape of championship.

Today

Reading this year’s setups today

The online era reflects how most riders now share and buy: clips, drops, and global access rather than a single destination event.

Setup-era context

For the wider gear story of this period, read The Modern Boutique Era: Drops, Premium Wood, and Resale Culture from the “Through the Years” series.

Still being verified

  • The 2022 online winner is not surfaced in the visible official champion list; the Ramon Angelow attribution above comes from a community retrospective + trophy plaques and should be confirmed against the linked official online results page.
