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

I think that’s the move

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

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.

[@TTPHOTO_15]

Gave my boy the longest shout out ever🙌😭

[@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!

[@thomasmix3908]

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

[@byingtonbrosYT]

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

[@TheGusshow1234]

I am just impressed how accurate the nock off is

[@garbagecanfpv9901]

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

[@3rdyplayz368]

And even the DanTDM and KSI drama

[@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

[@TheFingerDude]

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

[@bakerboardz39]

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

"It's all going according to plan..." Probably what he's saying to himself right now.. lol.

[@jesseortiz4152]

I honestly don’t blame him. You’re good at this. I don’t blame him for copying you.

[@MustSk8]

Can’t lie tho gripsions ramp was better lol 😂

[@Hectik17]

i used to make techdeck parks like this in the year 2000 out of cereal boxes too, funny how people still do it lol

[@TheSaiyan]

bro just said: "Let me show you the power of my Sharing!"

[@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.

[@kaungkaung-pb3gj]

I am respect that he can remember all the words what alex says 😂😂😂😂

[@FriendlyFB]

Your the best youtuber ever in the world

[@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

[@Pempzo]

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

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?

[@Check-board2]

Bro, seriously thought he could get away with it

[@Fb.riptide.]

The videos are deleted now

[@PeteJaquay]

that is hilarious dude! ive been rocking my beanie hard this winter, i mean like ive always rocked my beanie, and it's pretty cold i need to, but i dunno ive been watching the gripsion vids and ive been rocking it like extra you know. lol your an "influencer" now officially, there are literally people being influenced by this channel

[@RexGamerGGYT]

He was just probably trying to get your attention. Don’t mind him, keep making your amazing videos!

[@AlexanderHartig]

You should try heat shrink tubing on plastic fingerboard wheels

[@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

[@Its_um_ray]

his vid is similar,,,, but more low quality lol

[@tableforone1985]

This is wild FR lol.

Maybe he copied you cuz he looks up to you

just to add fuel to the fire he deleted the video

[@Elevation666]

i wonder how firm girpsons grip is😩

[@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.

[@caseysilva8296]

Dam now you guys have to play a game of S.k.a.t.e or else it has to be on sight 😂

[@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

thats actually absurd💀

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

[@RON_FBG]

The finger dude had several fake accounts I had to block because he would promote his channel on mine, saying how the finger dude is better, and just straight up hated on me almost daily until I had all the accounts blocked

[@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.

[@p0p.fingers]

He's your son now

[@Lamborghini.automobile]

That is funny 😊😊😅

[@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!

[@SpurtagsDGK]

Why does the finger dude look so raggedy
