Well, here's the welcome video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei0bIfoLmG8

I watched it and thought it was a huge improvement and was feeling pretty cool about this. What do you guys think?

I think he don't deserve to be on (for skills wise) but him and mike are good friends so why not be on the team i knew it was gunna happen!

Nah, for me he is still the dude who's ripping kids off.

lol. and i totaly agree with bobbernaut.

it does say he's on the flow team if you read, so that explains him not being the best. he's certainly got a ton better though

okay i didnt read that.. that makes more sense

what happened to redemption???

i just find his style too whack. unrealistic. awkward looking...its like he needs to get some basic skills down first, like board control and rolling, and keep it simple rather than flicking big and hoping for the best.

BUT. having said that he is a good guy, and style comes with practice....he is passionate about fingerboarding so its all good.

i couldn't live with myself on some of those trades he has done though......like taking candy from a baby....would you?

Well, I'm hoping with the incredible stuff he's getting now being on BW, FF and generally well known on YT, it will probably be toned down. Also, I've noticed a few giveaway videos. I've not watched them but at least he's giving back.

sid likes i ll trade u your blackriver plaza for 3 td stickers haha

Well, if Mike wants him on the team, then does he kinda deserve it. It was going to happen sometime so why not now?
I'm not on the ¨He doesn't deserve it¨ side.
And I'm not on the ¨He does absolutely deserve it¨ side

I don't really have a problem with it, Sid is "famous" and has a lot of viewers, just a better chance for Flatface and Berlinwood stuff to be promoted and what not.

I've never liked watching him fingerboarding but i guess if Mike wanted him on the team he must be a cool guy and a good friend.

Sid has a huge fanbase of kids, so its like of logical for companies to sponsor him so that their company name reaches that younger fanbase, since its so vast

Its true kids love Sid, I used to be a fan but I honestly think he bum licks everyone that is more popular that himself in the fingerboarding community, like literally. Anyways it's Mike's choice and it's not effecting Flatface apart from Sid's name on the 'Flow Team' but Mike obviously thinks he will make an impact on people buying his shizz...

Anyway what up with all the comments about him blocking Rory/Toebex.....

"Sid absolutely does deserve this. It's people with attitudes like you who don't deserve this. Never in a million years would I sponsor someone who talks down upon others no matter how "good" they are at fingerboarding. There's a lot more to the FlatFace team than just skill, I actually care a lot about who they are as a person, friendship, contributions to fingerboarding, etc. and mainly fun! Sid is an awesome guy in so many ways and has a true PASSION for fingerboarding."

I honestly don't think skills matter. If kids look up to him for being a good guy, who contributes greatly to the scene, is really in touch with his followers, and doesn't bitch about other people like most of you here, then I believe he more than deserves to be on any team that wants him.

His style is super sketchy but like you say its his name that's getting him sponsored not his skills. But i cant overlook the fact he's gotta be 40+ and dresses like a teenager seems a bit odd to me..

Pretty much summed up what i was going to say.

Sid is on flatface not because of his fingerboarding skills but because of his commitment towards the fingerboarding community. And sure he may rip off a couple kid once in a while but do they really have to take the deals.

Hes on BRR or BW too, guys. Hes racking up a lot of top sponsors.

He flicks his tricks so high...
