When there is a new Fingerboard company every day and they have never even touched Fingerboard making stuff it makes me mad. They make the scene look like a joke.
Right now nothing is being done about the companies that are terrible besides flaming their threads and making them feel terrible about themselves.
I don't have the time to do something like this by this is my idea.
A company or website that people have to fill out a form, send pics, and be qualified to own a company, then they can say "approved by -------" and the people who approve the companies can have a list of approved companies
I think this can help the scene a lot and also make finding sites easier but there shouldn't be main links to companies such as flatface, BRR, berlinwood ect.
Does this sound completely retarded? I just want to help the scene that is eventually going to be destroyed by china companies and one-night I went to hobby lobby and bought craft foam so imma sell it companies.

well, you have to ask yourself a question. how often do you buy products? personally, i haven't actually bought anything for years. this is how i see it. kids are going to buy the big names, berlinwood, flatface, what have you. also, they might buy boards from a company because they saw a thread, and they thought "wow, those are really nice. i should support this company." that's all well and good, but you have the companies that produce complete crap. yeah they are existant, however it's not like you HAVE to buy them. no one's forcing you to give them money to support their oh so evil cause haha.
put simply, if you don't like a company, don't support them. usually others will see eye to eye with you.

yes.

haha, no, but its really stupid. How fucking elitist is it saying companies have to be approved to exist?

All the dumb companies don't get any sales, and eventually disappear. Quite quickly in a lot of times. But there are some gems too, little companies that pop up and are actually making great products - those are the little companies who get respect in the community.

Example.. wind back half a year and tell me who temple are again? New company, mad good decks these days - hence respect.

coulent agree more kerry. like if your going to start a company start making decks to learn then publish final product. like i want to eventually make a company but im going to make a mold practice making decks till there good then ill publish them

it takes user research to be an educated purchacer of fingerboard products.

would a site listing companies and products / reviews / pictures under each company help shoppers - well... yes if done correctly and not spamed or trolled to death

but
someone serious about fingerboards and equipment will do the research
google is pretty eazy to use

Sounds pretty retarded.

There are too many people with my name on this forum.


On topic: I agree with Kerry. The companies that are run by owners who love fingerboarding are the ones who will stick around. Sick companies like Temple and Love Drug are popping up and im loving it.

What the hell is wrong with you? A company has to get permission to exist? No disrespect, but you've just come out of no where, we know nothing about you etc.

The scene won't be completely destroyed by China, otherwise BRR and FF would have cocked that up along time ago.

But yeah, I agree with Kerry; this is retarded.

I get what he's saying. It's like getting college reccomendations, you don't NEED them, but it sure does show more about your character.

Out of nowhere? Umm since 2007 isnt out of nowhere. If you don't know anything about me you haven't been on this forum long enough, No disrespect to you but if I came from nowhere Ross wouldn't have been on the JT FingerBoards team and help my company tremendously. I was on unite before unite was famous. Don't talk crap until you know.

Helped your company?!?!? No disrespect, but your company doesn't do shit! I mean, i'm probably in no position to say so, but still... I've seen absolutely nothing about "madlab" or "jt fingerboards".

I think the idea is decent however, but i think it's already taking place thanks to our good friend Kerry. Getting featured on Unite is like, Crazy big. If people want to seem more legit/awesome, *coughcoughBRIANcoughcough*, make a thread about your company and post a link to your unitefingerboarding feature(s).

He's saying you're not well known not that you have no experience in deck making

Oh I've never heard of you, and probably, 95% of FFI probably don't know about you.

Heres my opinion of approval; disapproved .

Umm it's Melvin. And it was a free messup deck that was from a long time ago. Why not spend $15 on one of my decks and see for yourself that my quality is amazing and there is actually expirence behind my decks, I don't expect you to really buy one but it wont affect me you'll just be missing out.

All that's being done here is complete trolling over something you don't know about I didn't just appear I've been here for a while I've seen the changes. You guys probably think that unite has been here for years, I remember when it started I was on FBC when it was hard to get on FBC. I've seen things and talked to people in the Fingerboard world none of you will ever know.

Dude, I been fingerboarding for like 6 years. Im an OG as well.

Rather buy a Pure. Cheers though.

I've been in the fingerboarding scene since early 2007.

Jt you're feeding the " trolls " by saying you know more than them. I think it is elitist to think that people should be approved to start a company. I do also think you haven't done much to show or let people know much about you and your decks.
