Research status

Champion details are held until official, trophy, or primary sources agree.

The official winner list does not surface a 2017 champion. Rather than guess, this is a research stub: it may be a missing record, a different format, or a year without a main edition.

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

No 2017 champion is visible in the official Fast Fingers winner list, and the engraved event trophy carries no champion for this year (a blank/gap year on the plaques per a community history retrospective). Whether a main world-championship edition was held — or held in a different format — is not established here.1, 2, 3

Still being verified

  • No 2017 champion is listed officially and the trophy plaque is blank for this year. Research targets: official archives, Blackriver news posts, Flickr albums, YouTube uploads, local press, flyers, and community recaps.
