al partanen vs. al petersen

[addie pray]

who u got? i like AP more but AP is still filming etc. and didnt disappear like AP did.

[GAY]

Have you researched the AP Style Guide for some guidance?

[GrayCellGreen]

Wait, these are different people?

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

there was a period in the late 2000s where there were like 10-20 goofy footed ams named julian with a pretty good back smith

We all know that AP is a much better skater than AP. AP is clearly better looking than AP (although i've heard that AP smells better.) When I met AP he was really cool, skated with all of us, even bummed some cigs to some of the homies. However, when I met AP he was super rude and off putting, he kept on flipping his eyelids inside out like kids do in elementary school and wouldn't bum any cigs. When we are taking AP versus AP, everyone immediately knows AP will win.

Didn’t AP retire kirchart style?, I’ll always respect that.  On the other hand AP is still out there which I also respect (and from my home state too)

I’m gonna have to give it to AP though for those monster Ollie’s on transition-particularly the one in marseille

I suddenly have the urge to call someone a "cocksucker"

90’s AP…..2000’s AP…..

[Frank and Fred]

AP can front blunt anything but AP has some of the best ollies of all time, FS and BS. I vote AP.

[Lou Strux]

The answer is obvious: it’s AP & it’s not even close.

[Mean salto]

AP had a pro model with puma (first skateboarder to have a pro shoe on a sports brand?) and one with vans
Other AP was on globe flow

[Hairy Ballsagna]

^ To be fair, I think he was the team manager for Globe.

Edit: AP, that is.

"adam alpartanen" - fu crue

[botefdunn]

AP managed a team, but AP managed his wardrobe and was in black before Ethan and Heath.

I saw AP at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

posting this copypasta is a rite of passage.

Pretty sure AP is running a company based on his Air BnB in LB to take acid in and have a Mother God awakening. Spaced Pupil or something like that.  Somehow it’s adjacent to skating I guess.

Conversely, I was also a big AP fan growing up, when he played for the Vikings.

[Sangriawaterfall]

AP’s opening line in the consolidated montage in “Jaded” is burned in my brain

[offkilter]

I love AP! AP however, not so much.

[Banned from the room]

There's only one AP and he's from town here. Total ripper. No one can hang with him

I love this story about him.

[Hairy Ballsagna]

Damn, now that I think about it I’m pretty sure I saw them both at the same session once in 2004. AP didn’t skate much but what he did do was fire. AP on the other handed skated nonstop.

Remember Youness Amrani? Talk about another dude who would get the ol’ dyslexia activated.

[Jack Locke]

Al Petersen for sure. Whenever I thought of partanen I only think of chet childress, who comes off like the most insufferable dill hole on earth. Also didn't partanen have some sex assault allegations? Prob a creep.

[corey websturd]

I like hem both, but I think Petersen has a better flowing style.
