- "Fake" sponsorships.
- Reverts (unless they are done really really perfect).

- People talking about stuff they don't really know a lot about. (this is general, not only in fingerboarding).

Kids just need to know what the hell products are before the start trading stuff.

haha i could rant all day long about pet peeves, but i think Deshawn got the majority of them with his first post

others that annoy me are vids where everyone starts from stand still on a trick then flows out. it looks crap.

i mean, roll in, trick, roll out please.

people asking for sponsorship

people who think sponsorship is the be all and end oll of fingerboarding.

people who spend more time ranting in threads like these, and online in the forums in general, than actually fingerboarding.

making decks when i could be fingerboarding.

how much corruption there is....and cheating in online polls.

people who have a million unboxing videos but no footage of them fingerboarding.

I have more.

#21: Fingerboard ads by people not actually sponsored by that company.
#22: Fingerboarding ads that last FOREVER. Honestly, ads arent 2 mins long. Do 2-4 tricks, end video. Logo. Shot of product. The end.
#23: Sponsored riders whose main setup consists of not one of their sponsor's items.
#24: Seeing people sell limited edition or folded company products.

Deshawn I wasn't talking about you in particular, personally I like you. I was just saying that to me it seems like there's this mindset in some of the OG guys who are like "I've been around longer than you so I know more and I am better than you are." Its not everybody, but there are a select few people who act that way and that's one of my peeves, i guess.

Also, JUST got the black dynamite reference and the reference to said reference XD

All these. And the making decks one, poor Ross :'(

-boardslides on ledges (I think lipslides are ok on ledges)
-people who sell china shit and insist that they make the stuff themselves
-people who are sponsored by companys and dont rep them at all and dont use their products
-random nature shots in videos

yeah thats all I can think of now

-When you clearly state what you're looking for and they still offer other stuff in a thread.
-When people comment on your sale thread saying "Damn dude that's so sick I'd buy if I had money!"
-Losing a nut and having to search your carpet for it (quick tip, turn off your lights and use a flashlight or something to catch the shine of the nut)

-people who try to make constructive criticism a personal issue
-and people whko try to make arguments over nothing
-when i spend my money and a new product comes out

Not to burst your bubble but normally this is the mindset in a lot of things. It comes from time = experience. If you put 10 years into something, you BETTER be good and should be able to show a thing or two to someone who begins whatever craft 3-4 years. Its all about being confident that you, as a older person, can keep up with the rest. Honestly, younger crowds always isolate the older crowd for whatever reason. Like i said, give it 10-14 years for yourself before you get into the OG range, then look to all the new kids and if they acknowledge you or your vids.


For a good example of this, look at the BATB with Eric Koston vs Mike Mo.

The should be something to push for. Be as good as said person, stay around for said person. People should try to fingerboard for 15+ plus

It makes me happy when my thread gets alot of responses.

These are some of the pet peeves I have:
When people ask to be sponsored.
When people don't appreciate hard work.
When all people have to say is "Nice" with no proper criticism or anything.
Kids that comment on FSS videos asking stupid questions.
Scammers.
People that make ridiculous trade offers. (ex. wud u trad bw camo 4 my broken nuckle dek?)
When I land upside down into a darkslide and fuck my foam up.
When I have technical difficulties when editing vids.
I really don't like when people have all the money in the world and get whatever they want whenever they want it. They always go with whatever's trending, and don't think for themselves. They start fingerboarding, buy some expensive shit, and stop like two months later and make stupid sale threads with extremely high prices.
I hate when people just think of fingerboarding as toys and clickity clackers. They're more than that to me, so just respect that. KAY MOM?
I don't like when I have to explain to someone what a fingerboard is and how it's different compared to a Tech Deck.
I hate bearing slippage.
I dislike when I can't pick a proper song for a video.
Filming a certain line for an hour.
Having to leave my fingerboard alone all day at school.
The fact that I started taking fingerboarding seriously later than I should have.
Dropping torx screws.
Stripped baseplates.

There are so many, that I've forgot at least half of them.

You know what, I came in here to rant, read the other posts and got mildly angered that I forgot what I was originally going to post. We should probably have an opposite of this thread just for some positivity.

People ignoring videos in SD (360~480~540p)
People snapping perfectly good fingerboards on purpose
People using your pictures or posts/reviews without asking for permission or crediting you (has happened to me where people have used pictures of my boards to scam people, people have copied my reviews onto other sites without asking and I've seen one person on some Asian forum with my picture of an entirely gold coloured setup as their avatar - this last one I don't mind so much)

Oh yeah, I remembered the original thing now.

When people take a forum with not many active users and distinctly copy the format to resemble a more popular forum and then attempt to take away the forum's userbase

Xi, i believe the last bit was something that sparked a war between the old forums. But im not too sure.

Lol Xi, that last part x) EfBeeCee.

Also. I hate when people make a "lot thread" and once something is gone they don't edit the post or take the picture down.

- People that don't think Tech Decks are fingerboards.
- People that release products with terrible craftmanship and act like they are the best products out there.
- China Companies.
