Dude, my heart is beating hella fast right now. Please tell me it's not so.

I stayed with the Pappas' and got to know them real well. Out of the two,
he was the mellow one. Please tell me that's not true.

I love those dudes!

Imagine how scary this is... You're done skating the vert ramp and Tas' pickup can only
hold one in the front so me and Ben had to rock/paper/scissors for shotgun. So if you lose,
you're in the back of the pick up and can see Tas thru the cabin window pounding Jack while driving 90 mph listening to Slayer blasting-lol The drive was an hour away so when we'd get to his house he would be pounded. Scariest shit ever. Sometimes, we'd just pay for shotgun. This was like everyday too. I was very lucky.

I also searched google and came uo empty handed.

Why would they get banned from the states?

Haven't seen them since I rode for Platinum. Actually saw Tas briefly one night.

I heard alot of misfortunate things happened to them. First I heard Ben fell really hard
and lost vision in one of his eyes. That's so fucking sad cause he had the BEST STYLE on vert
I have ever seen. Hands down he was on his way to being the best. Then I heard Ben got
involved in some shit while Tas was in the states. So I think it was Ben who couldn't leave
the country. Those dudes are nuts but got the biggest hearts and showed me a lot of love.

Smuggling right?

Didn't want to say anything but the cat's already out of the bag.

Too bad he wasn't a rock star at one time. He would have been a hero
when he got released!!!

If he was bringing in 100 grams from the U.S. he is probably fucked. His sentencing was in 1999 and I wouldn't be surprised if he was still in there. Depends on Australian laws and his lawyer I guess

Why would anyone be dumb enough to weigh a body down with evidence?

Not only that, but also, the "flare" logo that they have is identical to the flare mookie has shaved into the side of his head in "Do The Right Thing"

Yeah right! Who told you he killed his chic?

Dang, I didn't know they did heroin. Dudes must have gotten way more gnarlier in shit. When I was with him
we just smoked weed with tobacco, and Tas would dissapear at night and do coke while me and Ben played video games. Fucking crazy motherfuckers.

I wish he would have at least went to jail for a year for the smuggling cause then maybe he'd get the Christian rock star treatment upon release. Then things may have been different.

If anyone has Tasso's number or contact info holla on pm. Dude's a good old friend.
