| not really stoked on sid, he's not very good at actually fingerboarding, i think he's just into getting new stuff. he's usually good at trades, but that was a little shabby. if i were that kid though i definitely would not have sent him that thing, i probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place haha.

| Persted, It's honestly disgusting what he does. :/ Also, I will lock this if it gets out of hand, discussion is fine, just not major insults and death threats etc. Moved to off topics |

- I agree that it has to stop. As a fingerboard community, we need to unite and speak out about this. It is certainly sad to see an adult and a "professional" fingerboarder abuse his position and take advantage of other people like this, especially if the people are very young.
I could have done the same when I went to Little Wheels 2. There were loads of kids that were offering me too much for stuff so I refused and would only accept fair prices. I dont consider anyone to be a professional unless they make money doing it, because that basically defines a profession, but still he knows that he has fans that want to trade with him and he exploits that completely. I say we all send the same exact message to him at once, like 100 of us.
Me too. Hence why "professional" was written with quotation marks. It is just to denote the higher level of status when fingerboarders have their own pro graphics similar to skateboarding, except without being dependent on making money from it to live. Hope this clears things up. - Myolor wrote:
- You do have to realize some kids give Sid amazing deals so they can get better known as a person that trades in the fingerboarding scene... Also i would never consider Sid a "professional fingerboarder", he is more of a professional trader?
This is not exactly very positive still. Does anyone really care for people who have traded with Sid? What I mean is does anyone actually get any recognition or any benefits from trading? No. - TylerE wrote:
- One of the decks he gave away was a freebie he got...
Doesn't surprise me. I tend not to trade freebies although I have traded some. - Banlyst wrote:
- Xi did write professional in ""'s. And Sid is somewhat known in the fingerboarding scene all over. Im sure that's all Xi meant with that.
That's right. - TylerE wrote:

| He responded to my post with:
People seem to focus on dollar value when it comes to trades. Trading is about getting what you want, for both parties. He offered this ramp to me and told me what he was looking for. I gave him SEVERAL options and this is what he picked. So for people to say that I am ripping people off is totally unfair when he is the one that offered and agreed to what I offered. He was happy with the trade and that's all that matters. BTW, I did send him extras as well.
He's pretty much saying he's trading kids with no dollar value, who will trade expensive crap for for stuff that's worth nothing only because they want it and this makes it OK I guess?
Sid is no role model, he has parkinsons style, and overall rips kids off... |

| I'm glad I unsubbed him a long time ago. I always despise the people who make videos of only unboxings and put up a clip every other year of them fingerboarding because they get more recognition than those who really deserve it. (Yes, I'm jealous HAHA.) I would like to know what were the options given to the person he traded with. Obviously can't be that good if the kid supposedly knew fingerboarding (according to Sid's fanboys) and that he chose a prowood.
SMH at a grown man taking advantage of a child. No matter if he was given options. I hope someone takes advantage of Sid's kid to see what it feels like to be ripped off.
It just irks me that he would do that to other fingerboarders that probably loves the hobby as much as him.
But as Deshawn said, that's why I never do trades too. |

Cause he is known in the FB community so well.. Then again we don't know him personally but just by watching the videos we can assume he doesn't have the greatest of morals... |
