I would like to take the time to say thank you to everyone that supported Maplewood in our graphic restock yesterday. It took us 4 hours and 15 minutes to sale every fingerboard that we had. A lot of people were busy during the restock and did not get to get theres i am trying to work as fast as i can to get others ready. We feel humbled and appreciated and will continue to push the boundaries of fingerboarding in the coming years. So thanks again to all you guys that support us. And if you don't support us then we still wish you the best of luck in whatever you do.


Remember to have fun, support your legitimate fingerboard companies, and promote the sport of fingerboarding anytime you get the chance,

Wow, your cool, why tell your customers not to support you.

ha? why are you such an asshole?

He copied Yellowood and just refuses to admit it constantly. If you were on ffi you would know everything.

It's fine Scott................. Darius is a part of the group of fingerboard company owners and fingerboarders that don't people on the scene to find out about Maplewood. He constantly posts on all of my topics it is even stalkerish (sort of creepy) how infatuated (sp?) he is with me and Maplewood.

Darius you guys had a plan to keep ppl from learning about Maplewood. Sorry buddy the plan failed.

Let's face it if you found out that you could buy a pair of trucks that were just as good if not better than brr trucks for 1/2 the price wouldn't you too buy them.

Darius i'll never admit that i copied Yellowood. I have told the sticker story enough so that everyone out there that follows fingerboarding understands how it happened. Dude it was 1 sticker and you constantly reflect on that everytime you talk about Maplewood. Why not look to the hundreds of other things that i've put done? We've established that you hate me, we've established you hate maplewood, so why not leave it at that?

Nice set of graphics, who designed those for you?

Thom you should make an awesome grapich for him

Hope i make it!

tbh if you think you didn't copy yellowood you are retarded

Just out of curiousity Bizzzywell and to make sure that i am really not retarded as you say also the simple fact that i love to read what people say when they answer this question .....

What leads you to say that i copied Yellowood?

no offense, and I dont really have anything againts maplewood, but those graphics look like shit. You can tell they were made in paint, they are ugly and unprofessional looking

thom, i want that graphic on my deck lol

"Darius i'll admit that i copied Yellowood." - that's what i saw at first. then i read it again lol

Hey Keith, what happened to this video?//

Quote :

I uploaded a YouTube video -- Yellowood Fingerboards and my public apology to Philippe as promised on FFI https://youtu.be/IetKUonvH5U?a

Copied and pasted straight from your Twitter.

I was going to post the same picture Thom lol.

Ok Kieth. Youve lied about alot in your little time here and your company is backed behind all of this bullshit so i will state these facts.

1) There was a picture of a side by side comparison with your deck and a yellowoods. A little more mellowness was all that was noted. Normal for a bondoed deck.

2)You claim to have been making fingerboards since 1985. There is no visual proof of early pictures.

3)I believe someone posted the sticker. What was that about. I believe you brought samples of other peoples stickers to a designer and told him to make you something? I recall you posting such info on ffi.

I can go on and on but not now, my blackberry is dying.

you cant argue with Keith....he is just deluded beyond belief....im sure he actually convinces himself of his own bullshit......

500 decks in his latest stock sold in just over 4 hours..... :lol:

loll.

is it true that you invented the fingerboard in 1985?

Wait is he actually Chuck Norris' dad?

i like Thom's graphic the best

^lol, I'd ride that on my deck for deffs, its epic

I'm with appleyard, even though it does seem that you are a little "inspired" by other companies for some of your stuff, those graphics are pretty awful.

Thom,

I am happy you asked about the picture. And you flatter me taking the time to browse my twitter page man i didn't know you cared so much

That video was deleted. The whole story of why it was deleted was on FFI. After the sticker that you posted here was made i was enraged about it. I had told my team i would be sending out some new stickers and they were waiting on them. So i took Yellowood stickers (not only that one but the one with the log and others), i took flatface stickers, i took brr stickers, i took berlinwood, winkler, etc...... Well you get the point.

These stickers were to show examples of things others were doing on the fb scene. Now when i went to get them they were made like this. I was pissed off and the guy said "i thought you wanted me to pick the one i liked the most and to make yours similiar to it. He apologized to me and gave me the stickers for free.

I then went to the office and told my team about the situation. Elias Eriksson (a maplewood member) asked me if i would send him one he wanted to check it out. So i sent him one because i had no reason to send them out the rest of them were destroyed. Now Elias maybe it was the language barrier (he is from sweden) but he put the sticker on a video. Well what was done was done. Everyone said something about 1 sticker out of 1,000 that were made.

Feeling bad that i had even sent one of them out. I then went and made a video on youtube. It was a public apology to Phillipe (yellowood owner). I explained in detail what had happened and made the video to make sure that everyone knew that i was sorry for sending the 1 out and that i was the type of person that would admit my mistakes. The video got alot of views and Phillipe private messaged me on FFI saying "Don't worry about it Keith it isn't a big deal"

But the haters couldn't let it die at that they kept pushing it. Phillipe then made the comment on FFI that i had made a video and that he had found it funny. So i took the video down and messaged Phillipe telling him that i hope that we got the chance to meet at a contest one day. Afterall i was big enough to make him a public apology and threw it out there on youtube. He was just too low class to take the apology like a gentleman he had to try to be funny and throw a low blow because he was scared that Maplewood might affect him and his company. If someone said they had found an apology that you made funny would you leave it up for everyone to flame?

Thom, Grant, and whoever else wants to keep bringing up 1 sticker out of 1,000 that were made. Know this...... If you were looking to buy a car and you went to a Cadillac dealer and they gave you a 30,000 dollar price on a car. Then you went to a private owned dealer and he could give you a car that was the same if not better than the Cadillac for 15,000 dollars. What would you do? Would you buy the Cadillac? Would you give the other guy your money?

More importantly......what do companies gain if they bash another company? They try to discredit others especially when they find out that someone can compete with them as far as craftsmanship goes. I am not cocky but i know that i have bought, traded for, or used almost every fingerboard out there and i would put mine up against any of them any day of the week.

Recently i got a msg from someone (i won't say there name) but you guys know them from here. The person said that they believed what i say. They said that they knew that i cared about fingerboarding. They said they knew i made a good fingerboard. But that i should just shut down Maplewood and open another company without telling anyone who i was. You know how many times this has been done by others? I can't even count them. But i'm not one to run away from something i like and i'm not a quitter. The publicity Maplewood gets sparks curiousity. If a person buys a Maplewood they get there mind changed 90% of the time. I've worked hard to get to where i am and to the level at which i craft fingerboards. It may not matter to any of you. But i do what i do because i like to do it so......

and if you ever want to talk to me on facebook you don't have to act like your someone else. you can just message me i will tell anyone anything they want to know.


And no it isn't true that i invented Fingerboarding in 1986........but i did perfect it.

now quote that Flamers

You're pathetic Keith. All you care about is a quick dollar, feeding off the young and naive. But then again, that's what rednecks are for.

And don't even think of calling out Phillipe, all of his work is professional, original, unique. Any of those words mean squat to you? Plus, i want proof of Phillipe PM'ing you on FFI. I don't believe that one bit.

I don't think you've tried one of Ross' decks

Lets face it Keith, if you were a "legitimate" company, you would be involved in the community rather than boasting how you "perfected" fingerboarding since 1986. What proof do we have Keith? You appeared a few years ago, at the the start it was fine, then you blew stuff way out of the line with products which were clearly copied. Which may i add, is illegal. You are a fraud.

People have caught you selling bondo'd molds of both Yellowood and Closeup, Phillipe and Manu both filed against copyright complaint against you through eBay. You only survived that as we're small companies, you would have got your arse fried.

The majority of your posts on FFI or here are you selling your product. Nobody wants you here or on FFI, people are smarter than you Keith, we've had a good education.


You couldn't give a flying fuck about fingerboarding.
