This. Sid has made so many trades and so many review videos that he may not notice the trends, etc. That is most likely the problem.
I like FSS because he has a really cheery personality that really eases you into fingerboarding, much like what I aim for on my channel with no vulgar language, lots of trick tips, etc...
Sid is a great personality as well and we're pretty cool with each other, I do think that a lot of the trades are pretty unfair... maybe he has to realize that his position on YouTube means that he needs to pay extra attention to the trades he makes and the values of what he trades. Tbh people should be watching Gary's videos and Unite for inspiration. I think that I started watching 'Gary's Trick Tip' videos back in the day till present! |

| I feel like to get into fingerboarding people should go straight for the "hardcore" shit  First videos I watched of fingerboarding (aside from mikeschneider reviews) were either German ones by Katha, Tim Putz, Tomas Hansen or the Flaked (Shortwood back then) crew. I feel like it gave me a good feel of what the scene is like instead of thinking the scene consists of Flatface and FSS only. Don't get me wrong beginner-oriented are great for the youngins to get into it but I guess I just kind of missed that step :X |

| I don't think beginners would find FSS or Vicious before some of the more known Youtube fingerboarders? |

Depends on who they've been recommended/searched on YouTube. |

| Well the question was who's better for BEGINNERS?
Frankie understands that his main audience are beginners, hence why he doesn't show much upper class products, but instead he shows them legit, cheap companies to get them started. |

| FSS by far, Sid supports to many "China" companies. While FSS reps some legit companies, he also has some pretty good contests too. |

| Contests, kiddy-aimed, repping legit companies, FSS is like training wheels, he is real cool as you start out and points you towards legit companies and just does things beginners enjoy.
Then when you find the bigger scene, he becomes "annoying" to you.
