This coming from the kid who made a company based on the fact he thinks Jesus has forgiven him.

??? Where at all have I implied this? I wanted a company with an F at the beginning to kind of roll off of fingerboards. I thought Forgiven sounded good.

Do I act like I believe that Jesus has forgiven me? No. If you knew me in real life you would know that I am one of the most atheist attributed person of all.

I don't see why I get so much hate for my little post? Anyone here could have said the same and nothing would of happened. Just speaking the truth. For every 3 fingerboarders there is a company, that's messed up.

Not trying to cause drama but everyone knows this is true. The fingerboard scene is quite constricted and it's getting quite miserable. Everyone who has a vise, 10 dollars and a dad with a sander and drill press automatically thinks they need to make a company. A new one is popping up every week. Many new people are in it for the little money you get from it; their profit. Me however, there is no profit. 100% of the money goes back to the company to fund the company, keep it running, start up new products, experiment with different things. Now, by saying "kids stop making companies". I merely just meant these china companies. Newer companies that actually make their own decks like Temple and Pure are a few new ones and are the ones I, and everyone else should respect. I was in that journey a long time ago. I've been making decks for 4 and a half years now. I learned how to tend to the rough edges of it and figured out everything by myself. Back in the day there was no place you could order from online to buy a mold with pre-drilled holes and a 100% dead on shape. There was bondo. Although, these newer deck makers have a few steps aligned up quite perfectly for them, I still do it the old fashioned way. Take a few minutes to align my custom template to get it just right, hand sand, everything. Not mold 5 plies then drill through the mold. That's more like manufacturing decks, not making them for a passion; for the right reason.

K that was too long so I didn't read it, but you did talk about Jesus forgiving you in the chat box a while ago. It was followed up by a number of other children sharing their experiences with Jesus in order to get on the team, I found it fairly amusing.

I never got asked a religious question. So this is obviously, not true.

1. Learn how to use semicolons.
2. What the fuck are you talking about?
3. Shut up.
4. ???
5. Profit.

this is hardly the right thread to have a moan, but really im beyond caring what i write now.

if im honest im getting sick of it. not so much the making of fingerboards (i love it) but more the people and how they police themselves and how they dont realize what they are doing. sheeple.

yeah i disagree with many things, but if it means keeping my mouth shut for progress then so be it.

all i see now is arguments, split scenes, little groups, haters, lies, more lies, respected people who are really snakes, in it for the money....etc, etc etc.

if im honest ive had enough. yeah ill still fingerboard each day, and yeah ill still make my decks. but ill make them when I want to make them for the love, not cause i have too.

a few years ago its what i wanted. but now im hating it.....ill say it again, not the making of decks i hate, but more some people and the online scene.

dont get me wrong, there are many people who i respect and its those who make it worthwhile for me, so to those ill always be grateful.

i guess the moral of the story is, its fingerboarding. plain and simple. its a hobby. maybe to some more so a way of life.

if some 10 year old kid with his dads equipment wants to try deck making, then so be it. let them. its their choice, so good luck to them.

be nice to people on the way up, if not when your on your arse they wont give you the time of day.

moan over.

James, I never said they were successful in their attempts, and I never said you were one of those children, and I never said he questions everyone on the team about their religious experiences. What are you not understanding?

Wait? Was I hacked? I NEVER have talked about religion to my team riders. To my understanding Trevor is the only christian on the team and I am okay with that. Think what you want.

And on page 2 of this thread clearly shows your immaturity and ignorance by not even reading my whole post or at least claiming not to and not even caring on what I have said.

I could care less of what you believe in. You're on the team for your personality, skills, and because I think your an alright person and because I want to support you and help you out by giving you products for free every so often. That's why I add people to the team along with everyone else.

And the fact that you disrespect an X team rider simply by telling him to use proper grammar and him not using a semi-colon? Telling him to shut up because he's right and you're wrong? And for whatever else you meant that I don't understand in that post.

Yes, I have posted in some religion topic on this forum which is apparently a mistake for a company owner. But hey, I'm the person who tells it how it is. I don't make up lies, I tell the truth, whether it hurts or not. If you would like to see what I wrote on that topic, go ahead. There should not be a religion topic on this forum. That should have a separate forum of it's own.

This is fingerboarding. If you have nothing constructive to say. Then don't troll.

Now you're just making up rumors, or maybe it's not you but somebody is.

Ok enough with the shit show, Pepper fingerboards good luck with your company you seem like an OK guy. sorry you had to see the absolute worst side of this forum in your post.... i hope you don't think everybody on this forum is here to fight.

Well no, I distinctly remember you (or someone on your account) saying that in the chat box.

I never did. Doesn't even matter.

I chuckled.

Im pretty sure, Ray never mention anything about Religion.
