On this episode of The Bigspin, we sit down with longtime fingerboard YouTuber Sid, also known as Vicious274, to talk about his journey through almost two decades of fingerboarding content creation! From uploading his very first videos over 16 years ago to building one of the most recognizable channels in fingerboarding with over 20,000 subscribers, Sid shares what it’s been like watching the scene evolve while staying true to himself the entire time.

We dive into how he first discovered fingerboarding back in 2009, the early days of YouTube fingerboarding, and why he’s intentionally kept all of his old videos online as a timeline of growth and memories. Sid also reflects on some of his biggest moments, including his viral Canadian fingerboard event vlog that hit over 500,000 views and even landing on local news coverage at a time when fingerboarding was still heavily misunderstood by outsiders!

Outside of fingerboarding, we talk sneakers, music, skate culture, creativity, and what continues to inspire him after all these years. More than anything, this episode captures Sid’s genuine passion for the community and the mindset that’s kept him going for so long..  “As long as I have two fingers, I’ll always be fingerboarding.”

A super nostalgic and inspiring conversation with one of the OG voices of fingerboard YouTube!!!
