Title: pops
Post by: Gest on June 20, 2007, 06:31:03 PM
why do people like him so much? i really havent seem that much stuff from him that seemed to have an outstanding style. his photosynthesis part, his mosaic part, mostly everything else he's had i don't see too much good stuff in. he did have a couple good lines and tricks at love, like the switch frontside 180 to nosemanny revert, and he had some good tricks in mosaic, like the flushing meadows line, the backside flip, and the switch ollie around the end. he also had that chocolate ad, the kickflip at the verizon banks, which was gnarly as shit, but i don't see why rob pluhowski doesn't get as much attention, he has a great style, and neither of them seem to try to get coverage for shit.

im not trying to talk shit but it just seems like pops gets way more hype than he should be getting.

THIS ISNT FULLY FLARED HYPE

Yea he seems pretty comfortable on the board.

I think theyre both (Pop and Pluhowski) are pretty good. Solid east coast style.

papps seriously floats on his skateboard, has one of the nicest switch flicks nowadays, skates on the roughest shit around, is selective with his coverage, hunches on his board but in the right way (no dope dances for him) and east coast. he doesn't need to have 2 sequences monthly and a video part every couple months for others to be able to tell he's fucking for real. a pro's pro. what more do you fucking want? critiqueing a flip trick up a damn 5 stair?

well apparently it doesnt matter if the style is good or bad because its "up a 5 stair"

seriously watch the clip, it is a switch heel, my mistake, but the truck actually hits the top stair

im not saying he isn't good, like i said he has a good style with a lot of tricks and he does have a good set of tricks, i just don't think he should have as much hype and praise as you guys give him.

sorry for saying i didn't like one of your beloved favorites

Homosexual tendencies? Maybe Lou Pearlmanian behavior, but you're oversimplifying.


Talking about actual skate shit here these days is the worst thing I could think of doing, I might as well try the TWS boards. Also I'm extremely tired of the same old "Fav Pros", Fav tricks", "Most Underrated Skater", "Best Style" threads and find no use posting that I like Scott Johnston and Backside Nosegrinds every 2 months, and then have some fucking person argue with me about tired garbage about Slap Cliches or any shit.


Gest, although I think you're wrong about Pappalardo and would like to pee on you, much worse are people like h8r who would call you out as a hater for voicing an unfavorable opinion.

i just want some examples on why he gets so much hype. i remember a feeble to fakie on this crazy ledge in a thrasher over a year ago, but it was sick nontheless. he should just put out more coverage to deserve the hype he gets. gimme proof.

You just totally nerded me out... Anyways, the point was that you're setting the bar of expectation too high. It doesn't matter that the truck hit because he did it and I'm not a big enough loser to remember or be bothered to look but I bet it still looked damn good. Plus, fingerflip railslide to switch heel up 5? Apples and oranges? Anyway why should you give a shit if this guy lives up to hype? I don't understand why you need people to prove how good he is. It just seems strange, the whole premise of this thread is, prove to me that he's good. Why can't you just decide for yourself? Watch the videos, look at his coverage, and if you think it's not that great then go ahead and think that, don't ask people to help you change your opinion.
Title: Re: pops
Post by: Alexactly on June 20, 2007, 08:42:31 PM
First, I would like to see the examples of him getting hype. Do you mean he gets mentioned alot in "fav pros" thread and shit? I think every part he's had is awesome, he has a truly aesthetically pleasing style, and he has the most tasteful trick selection in the game right now.

Why don't you start this thread about SJ or Julien? They don't get much coverage and have tons of "hype".
Title: Re: pops
Post by: Alexactly on June 20, 2007, 08:46:58 PM
Also, I just watched his switch heel up that 5 again, and that shit was PERFECT.
Title: Re: pops
Post by: Gest on June 20, 2007, 08:48:29 PM
i don't think julien gets as much hype anymore as much as it is more of a "ledgend status" thing. and its obvious way back then, he had a lot of coverage.

im basically just wondering why he gets so much hype on the boards. it seems almost like he did something remarkable that i didn't even see, because everyone makes a big deal about him.

Pops always has footy from the raddest spots, original tricks, flowing style. The question is really how could anyone who skates not like his skating? I know there are a lot of girls on here who might not like his hair (gest?) or his clothing or something, but his skating? Fun to watch and a glimmer of hope in an industry of guys that flourish by skating like robots.

My idea of someone with Style is when they can "clip a truck" or "mob a flip" and it still looks good.

Badly done tricks that still look good. (see Gino's ender in the Choc Tour)

opposed to,

Bad tricks done well (see Coynes fingerflip to rail)

as long as I never see Pops doing a Benihana it'll be all right.

GEST:

"he did have a couple good lines and tricks at love, like the switch frontside 180 to nosemanny revert, and he had some good tricks in mosaic, like the flushing meadows line, the backside flip, and the switch ollie around the end. he also had that chocolate ad, the kickflip at the verizon banks, which was gnarly as shit"

"im not saying he isn't good, like i said he has a good style with a lot of tricks and he does have a good set of tricks"

"i remember a feeble to fakie on this crazy ledge in a thrasher over a year ago, but it was sick nontheless
"


Dude, are you sure you don't get the hype? Sounds like you're really quite the fan. Trying to talk shit on someone by frequently mentioning a bunch of awesome shit they've done, while only referring to the one thing you didn't like (the switch heel up the 5), makes absolutely no sense.

God I hate The Gonz for being rad, fast, creative and gnarly. He fucking sucks for all the awesome shit he's done over the years.

This topic sucks. Yeah, I'd like to agree on the Pluhowski point except, while I'm a big Pluhowski fan, he's never gone out there and consistantly killed it like Pops has. Even on the down low. I'm sick of the love/hate blahblah skater topics; you like who you like and don't who you don't. What does it even matter? Strokes for Folks.

this kid needs to be banned for this stupidity. Commenting on bad style on a fucking switch heel up 5 stairs? He probably still had better style doing that then half the other pros out there. Go continue watching Sheckler or Ronson Lambert. They have better style for your tastes.

i don't really want to have to explain this but gest asked what kinda tricks he's done that make him so special... well...





switch heel up 5
switch kickflip a handrail
nollie 180 banks rail


alley oop backside 180 to switch nosegrind fs halfcab out.


that first line in mosaic with the ollies, he lands the second ollie into the fucking uphill handicap ramp runup of the 3rd contraption before popping it.

he switch backside 50-50'd clipper! do you even skateboard! that is fucking terrifying!

and nowadays he's had two more recent chocolate ads of a ollie out to fs wallride on a big wedge of stairs and fs shove that monster bump to bump. i don't even know why im talking to you after that switch heel up 5 comment, dammit feebs!

anyhow the footage he puts out is golden.

ok here's the problem with saying "so and so doesn't deserve all the attention/hype they get"

there's no "deserving"!!  If someone is admired in skateboarding, they're doing something right.  And it is sometimes because they're just being themselves.  Pops seems humble, and the whole staying out of the spotlight thing works so well for a lot of guys.  I honestly think i'd like him less if he were POPing up in every mag each month.

It's always hard to judge a dude who (apparently) rides a board for my/our amusement. Is that why he's riding?

Imagine being this guy who enjoys this activity that basically is the focus of his projected life... Filming, maybe wondering if folks will dig what he's doing. If Popallardo were to film for appeal, I don't think it would be a Popallardo part. Not to idealize his position as much more than it is... but that's just what makes some of these dudes who they are. Gino could've retired after this Nike video... and we would've been left with just wondering what he's up to. There'd be a post here and there "What's Gino up to?". Aesthetically these guys are untouchable on a skateboard... and that's why I "admire" what they are able to do. Don't worry yourself thinking much more of it than that. Unless it's support.

I think summing up skateboarding with something as digestible as video parts is when skateboarding becomes less interesting. Videos are the PACKAGED version of what's up with these teams... Not entirely who these people are. I know it's most of our only way of seeing what's going on, but still it's a video made important ONLY BY US. Think of how diverse that Lakai team is... Wasn't it mentioned that Koston was filming up until a few days before release? It's just different types of people. Koston doesn't even need to be dignified at this point, but he's the type who puts it all out there for his part. Popallardos just a way different type, but in no way less of a skateboarder.

i am a fat kid

im not into snacks but wuuuut

and i do critique skaters

but i do, however, skate more than most people i know, and ive never been bummed on or been over skating for myself. i appreciate most skate parts, but it's hard to appreciate something so sparse.

just because one skater isnt in my top 10 list doesnt mean i dont know anything. i mean youre right, i dont know anything. pops is good and his style is good, but he normally lands everything so clean and perfect i can't understand why you guys like him so much. mostly slap guys talk shit on mike mo and prod for being so "robotic" but pops is different simply because he was brought up on a different side of the country? thats kind of fucking gay.
