This Situation Is Wild (TheFingerDude)

[@TheGripsion]

Just wanted to say, PLEASE don’t go and hate on TheFingerDude. Content creation is a never ending learning curve and so much time is put into making these types of videos I don’t wanna take away from that!

[@ethankun6531]

Fr

[@Exotic.F.B]

No hate but I noticed that he deleted the videos you noticed he copied and he also didn’t just copy off of you

[@Exotic.F.B]

Specifically this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp3Vh2h9ZqaLhZYsi=2wMrAfd1IozMNrxQ

[@Exotic.F.B]

Notice the thumbnail of a davidsjones video called 10 easy finger board tricks and compare that to the one the finger dude had

[@JackPerryFingerboard]

I’m gonna make an exact copy of this video

[@TheGripsion]

I think that’s the move

[@FastLaneLyfe]

I’m gonna make an exact copy of your video.

[@kalyedecks]

I already filmed an exact copy of this video - Christian

[@MustSk8]

Ahh yes my favorite

[@ArianeArsenault]

I have dealt with so many levels of copies since I started making KZbin videos and being active on social media… It’s a never ending story! Keep being you.

[@SlowFingers]

Hahaha I LOVE this man. You were being "content bullied" as I'll call it, and called that crap out! Inspiration and innovation and trends are one thing but 1:1 copycatting is just childish. Glad you spoke out on it instead of just taking it on the chin as so many of us do. 💯 I've said it once before but imma say it again. You're a content machine man. Yeah there may be better fingerboarders out there and ppl who make cooler fingerboard videos and edits here n there - but your ideas are amazing and endless. The uniqueness and out thereness of your video ideas are just amazing and like you said, REALLY HARD to come up with good video IDEAS. So kudos to you for keping it going so long on your own brain juice. Truly a rarity. Keep it up Grip!

[@TTPHOTO_15]

Gave my boy the longest shout out ever🙌😭

[@Tingley19]

Damn Grippppy I haven’t seen your channel in a year or so, crazy how much your young ass grew! Gnarly. It’s almost the same difference from when you rewatched your first KZbin video ever. Hahah

[@byingtonbrosYT]

Haven't seen your videos in a while. They always make my day better every time I watch them.

[@garbagecanfpv9901]

honestly this is more interesting than the Tyson / Jake Paul drama

[@3rdyplayz368]

And even the DanTDM and KSI drama

[@alexscottthompson812]

I have absolutely no idea why KZbin recommended this video to me... I'm more of a gun guy than fingerboard guy, but this whole situation is pretty wild lol

[@patrickhender6242]

I like guns and fingerboards

[@TheGusshow1234]

I am just impressed how accurate the nock off is

[@thomasmix3908]

I noticed when he said “you should like the video” the like button had a rainbow outline

[@DraggyBloxYT]

U got me into fingerboarding😂

[@TheFingerDude]

I just rewatched the video and realized how silly I was to do this. I am truly, truly sorry Alex.

[@mregg39]

Him:Simon says you have to like this video! Me:Sh*t he got me with that one...

[@PeteJaquay]

i just had the craziest thought... how dope would it be if he did this video and used clips of you saying you were the imposter, oh man that would be some hilarious content on a totally different level. i wanna watch that ha

[@Vex-Lex]

Bro you have such quality and good content that Thefingerdude took inspiration/copied it. That's wild and proves that your channel is growing in popularity 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheGreatKingOfNorway]

The Finger Dude overall is a pretty original guy with some good ideas. I admit this one is copied, Idk what he was doing, but he's just a kid, dont give him hate

[@MustSk8]

Fr tho

[@John_Alkek]

I don’t think he’s really giving him hate he literally gave his channel a shout out

[@kaylonlink6732]

if you heard he said at the end that hes not angry he just finds it funny

[@kaylonlink6732]

and i cant help but realise that you pretty much copied another comment from @parkerfingerboards-ki7mh

[@John_Alkek]

@@kaylonlink6732 they posted it after him

[@TioDave]

You can see where he thought he could improve on the video, but he made the ramp different. Which is additive in the end.

The proof is in the pudding yall

This is a chatGPT script Title: "Mastering Fingerboard Tricks: A Step-by-Step Guide" [Opening Shot: Close-up of a fingerboard on a miniature skatepark setup.] Host (energetic voiceover): "Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today, we're diving deep into the world of fingerboarding and mastering some epic tricks." [Cut to Host sitting in front of the camera with a fingerboard in hand.] Host: "Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this video has something for everyone. Let's get started!" [Cut to Host demonstrating the basic fingerboard grip and stance.] Host: "First things first, let's talk about the proper grip and stance. Place your index and middle fingers on the board, with your thumb resting on the opposite side for stability. Keep your fingers slightly bent and your wrist relaxed." [Cut to Host performing an ollie trick.] Host: "Now, let's start with the fundamental trick of fingerboarding - the ollie. Pop the tail of the board down with your middle finger, while simultaneously sliding your index finger forward to level out the board in the air." [Cut to slow-motion footage of the ollie trick.] Host (voiceover): "Remember to practice this motion until you can smoothly execute it in one fluid motion." [Cut to Host demonstrating the kickflip trick.] Host: "Next up, let's tackle the kickflip. Similar to the ollie, but this time, you're going to use your index finger to flick the board diagonally as you pop the tail down." [Cut to slow-motion footage of the kickflip trick.] Host (voiceover): "It's all about finding the right balance between the pop and the flick to get that perfect rotation." [Cut to Host showcasing more advanced tricks like the heelflip, pop shove-it, and boardslide.] Host: "Once you've mastered the basics, don't be afraid to challenge yourself with some more advanced tricks. Experiment with different finger placements and angles to find what works best for you." [Cut to Host wrapping up the video.] Host: "And there you have it, folks - a beginner's guide to mastering fingerboard tricks! Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep honing your skills and pushing the boundaries of what's possible on a fingerboard. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. Happy shredding!" [Closing shot: Host holding up the fingerboard with a thumbs-up gesture as the screen fades to black.] why couldn’t you just do that?

Love the content homie! Now I got 2 channels to watch it on!! Jk 😂

[@FBManuel]

Hello gripson

[@Fb.riptide.]

Called it

[@sidpaulson]

My man.....Imma give you some advice. Focusing on anything someone else does that does not add to your financial progression dynamic is a waste of time completely. Also, the guy probably can't come up with own inspiration organically so you are an inspiration or maybe even a format to follow for future content. Either way as a 42 dude I will say this, what others think and do tends to not matter more and more as you age.

[@DraggyBloxYT]

I was watchin u earlier

[@jailo28]

just got back into fingerboarding and watched a lot of his vids. Its unfortunate that he steals content but i still recommend checking him out

[@apineda716]

Replicating this video is harder then making ur own 😭

[@Wesley.Fisher]

That’s actually hilarious that he copied you word for word😂

just to add fuel to the fire he deleted the video

Why dont you do a vid together? I think id would be really sick and you could help him out a bit

dont worry, im going to copy this video word by word

Just wanted to say he deleted those videos on his account immediately

[@Splatki11a]

thats actually absurd💀

[@nonothebot]

You've got something that he doesn't. He's just a copier. A pirate ? :) You are the only one Gripsion ! You can be proud of being copied at this point ! Think now you are a model for thousands of guys on youtube. A star.

[@jimmygoocharan2889]

I know this looks really weird at face value. I've been on KZbin for a long time, this honestly wasn't uncommon even in like 06-07 for kids his age to draw inspiration and or straight up try to remake videos that they were fans of. Some things just don't change I guess, he'll probably come into his own at some point! Gotta give him credit for really going out of his way to make the whole process more difficult though lol.

[@Cheezus]

it's wild how easy it is to just make a video on something someone else made without basically repeating what they said. Literally there are hundreds if not thousands of reviews on BRR stuff yet it's weirdly close to you lol. Anyway, when is the collab?

[@SpurtagsDGK]

Why does the finger dude look so raggedy

[@SheewdoodleFB]

If in the video the person credits the person they got the idea from cool. But after watching your side. The same sentences being used over and over. I would be irritated also. I’m going to side on yours. I tried to look at both sides but ya that’s SUS ❤ love your content!
