Seems like Wenning has lost it again.

I dream of slinging meat. My wife no longer goes into subway with me due to the shit I say there:
"Can I help you?"
"Just need 12 inches of meat in my mouth!" - me
Or
"6 inches of meat won't cover what I need!" - me
Etc.
Figure if I ran a deli, I could dad joke about meat all day.

That's like the porno intro, where the pizza dilivery guy comes over and the woman says, "I want a extra large with extra sausage."  I am not sure if that has ever happend in real life, but it would be cool if it did.

I watched that gif about 5 minutes.my girlfriend asked me if everything is fine.i said yes and showed her the gif.her response was:oh great a nollie backside something!

What ever i said about wenning earlier...that’s the best nosegrind ever!

[Paul Cicero]

God levels

[ndsr]

That back foot balancing!

[ok boomer]

I know when I first saw it, I was like "yep, I'll never have that".

[LostBearings]

Damn this is shitty, just last month I revisited his bunt interview and he said he was doing really good. Hopefully dude figures it out.

pretty sure it’s fake, when he goes behind the pole it switches to a cardboard cutout or something

His style in that whole part is incredible.  The way he whips around the flatground nollie 180 at 1:46 is what I’m picturing myself doing every time I do that trick but I am certainly not coming close

[Tyroneshoelaces]

someone told me they saw him drive his prowler over to cheap metal ramp skatepark and do a switch backside 360 over the tiny hip that could clear a deck on its side.

Prowler was rental for dc video. Only had bmws and a Cadillac. God damn those prowlers were ugly… and they only came in bam purple and black

Cool girlfriend! Taking the time to learn terms like 'nollie backside' is actually really sweet of her, caring enough to learn terms about your passion Only a couple exes of mine ever took an interest in skateboarding, and it was a very base-level. That was especially odd since I roll w/ the Fancy Lad bois and am in some of their videos... definitely some of the more 'non-skater-friendly' videos being made nowadays IMHO. Tough cookies to crumble, those girls!

Anyhoo - for some reason that back nosegrind by Wenning makes me think of a quote I read by Stevie Williams eons ago when asked his 'secret' to back nosegrinds. His words were "keep your shoulders square". Food for thought! I will never back nosegrind a ledge in my life so idk...

What do you think Pops is doing right now?

[close]

Making wooden stools and shit

[close]

He lost the wood shop time ago dude

He actually made an IG post sometime last month (I believe?) showing a new house he'd moved into... I remember seeing what looked to be a certified classic POPS-BENCH©

(last image in post)
~ pops back on bench?! ~

[ok boomer]

Looks pretty chill

[Coastal Fever]

Well now that we know what Wenning’s been up to and where he’s headed, can we focus on how Pops has been making a living and how he got himself into a seemingly dope big house in the forest?

[vktrvghn]

Fucking despressing news, this is making me feel really bummed

[pugmaster]

I speculate arson.

[sometimeperhaps]

In another thread I think someone said he was doing construction on movie sets or something film related.

[GOKU]

That's great to hear about Pops. My friend lived in NYC for a while and ~10 (maybe closer to 8 or 7 idk) years ago he saw Pops in line before him at a bank tryna withdraw some $ and the teller was like 'sorry but your account is overdrawn' or some shit like that. Converse did him dirty! So, yeah, it's great to see that guy thriving.

Bummer that we probably won't see many more clips of him ever again, though. I still have a odd feeling a lot of his self-shot IG photos of him skating over the years were 'posed'... maybe it was all an elaborate joke, haha

[RichardBarkley]

What was Pops doing in Iraq?

[pugmaster]

My best guess is arson.

[Allen.]

Probably misses his old glasses

For real, I don't know where that house is but it looks like that property/house would cost a pretty penny anywhere in the country.

Edit: Westchester County, NY? A quick google search (yes I know its not infallible) gives a rough MEDIAN price for Westchester homes at 635,000 big ones.

in most of westchester 635k would not get you a house like the one he posted.

Someone, possibly Dill, said he’d got into some crazy union job in NYC, making big money, like 200-300k, if memory serves.

I think Bill Strobeck talked about it in an interview

[Coastal Fever]

200k as a union carpenter on movie sets?  What the fuck did he build, the Millennium Falcon?

[veritas]

Someone should find his accountant and steal his tax returns so we can more accurately count his pockets
