Makes me like him more. Dude is one of the few canadians who aren't terrible - probably because like he said he's more American than Canadian.

you are seriously the worst poster ever.

[few246810]

Berra's claim that being white makes you look more American- you decide.

It means when you're in the US you see more white people than people who look like Eric Koston.  Eric wasn't offended because it's true. 

Give it a rest sometimes. 

[landCow]

this shit is turning into the peoples temple. every comment is a reda complaint. skaters today are just like little twilight fans. you guys sound like little girls with all the bitching. this is fucking skateboarding. go skate! nostalgia for reda? you guys need midol.

every bad comment about reda is valid. half way through the vid the game stops and the reda starts I get the fuck out of there. every time he speaks it reminds me of that michael richards racist rant a few years ago.

the game went exactly as i expected.

[Monty Burns]

Ill try not to offend any americans with this post cause I like most you guys and Ive always had fun when I visit your country

But wtf Appleyard ? whats wrong with being canadian ?  canada is a amazing country !  ,ive always seen it as the america that works .
besides some shitty weather , its a good country for skating and it has some real nice ppl .  

White ppl are the majority in america ?  maybe ? or no ? anyways , PPL need to stop freaking out about everything skaters say , ppl are drunk , high , tired or not smart and on camera , sometimes stuff gets said that might not sound good , anyways  PC is stupid .


And hasnt koston always had that style on flatground tricks ?  atleast in BATB ?   , I dont think koston is slowing down at all , sure his next few parts in chocolate , girl and nike vids will be just as stylish and good as the rest

[ShpotaSb]

I wonder how much time koston will stay in the game, he is getting old, and he still ripping contests, I love koston.

[StabMasterArson]

Fuck all this Koston getting old talk. He's a fucking wizard and will continue to blow our minds for at least another 10 years.

His hometown (Burlington, Ontario) is near where I live, I would like to see the homecoming when he skates the local parks.

Koston also said in an earlier match "this whole thing is so racist," so I just don't think he cares. You are the worst poster in the history of this site, loudly ignoarant and love to shoot others points down, but NEVER do you back up your obnoxious assertions.
I know your racist, immigrant hating ass (you have already established that in earlier posts) doesn't see what's so racist about implying that white people are more American than non-white people, even if they have lived in the U.S. for a shorter time, but you are really ignorant, and seem to have the mindset a member of the 19th century know-nothing party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing I know its random, but it works perfectly) so I wouldn't expect much depth of thought.
Honestly, maybe you should give a rest to trying to start shit with me sometimes.

"being white makes you look more American" and "white people are more American than non-white people" are two very different assertions.  If the majority of Americans are are white, then the most appropriate representation of an American should be and is white.  That's not to say that white people somehow better embody the ideals of "being American" or what have you.

[The Mess]

there's enough division to go around in the world right now. why did they have to inject this crap into skateboarding. nationalism is stupid. skateboarding is bigger than that shit. it might be a joke. but i sense some marketing genius at the berrics saw a chance to use it to stoke the very types of emotions in the debates above. it might have been funny ten years ago. but not right now. also, reda, doing what reda does, never hid the fact that he voted for bush twice and cheered for the war in iraq. given those facts i have a hard time laughing at any nationalistic "jokes" coming out of his mouth. fuck the berrics.

Let's tally it up:

-Reda: sucks.
-Berra: sucks.
-Hearing the fucking rules one more goddam time: sucks.
-The annoying as hell voiceovers on those DC commercials: sucks
-Watching pros play flatground: still reasonably entertaining the 4th time around.

I count 4 "sucks" to 1 "reasonably entertaining."

The math don't lie, boys.

[cadzukes.]

YOU'RE TAKING IT TOO SERIOUSLY! everybody calm down.

[dontfearthereefer92]

Let's tally it up:

-Reda: sucks.
-Berra: sucks.
-Hearing the fucking rules one more goddam time: sucks.
-The annoying as hell voiceovers on those DC commercials: sucks
-Watching pros play flatground: still un-entertaining the 1st time around.

I count 5 "sucks"

The math don't lie, boys.

Rodrigo still looking like the best skater in the game hands down.  even tho the score was close, Ramondetta got spanked pretty bad.

is there any topic that won't make you over react and make it all political? I can't even believe you made that first post, get a fucking life, everything you type is some annoying little bitch rant.

[The Twilight Zone]

everyone just quit your bitching and thank the based god

[jgonzalez]

Reda's lowest point was Ed's first try friday.

FIRST TRY FRIDAYS - Ed Templeton
(couldn't find it on youtube)

When I heard what Berra said about Appleyard looking more American, I was just like "damn".

[JRCrashlanding]

YOU'RE TAKING IT TOO SERIOUSLY! everybody calm down.

and Koston has easily another 10 years in him. Entertain me!!

[gaileaduffel]

Hmmm. Berra seems to refute the "melting pot" theory of the American population. What exactly is it about Appleyard that makes him look "more American" than Koston?
Reda's jokes about "Amurrrrrca"- not racist
Berra's claim that being white makes you look more American- you decide.

AmurriKKKA is a WHITE country!!!

true story
