THE RACE TO SOTY & SOME THOUGHTS ON RACE by Anthony Pappalardo

[TMKF]

This dude is the worst and he needs to write under a different name…there’s only 1 anthony pappalardo in skateboarding. This kook needs to just go write op eds for lefty publications but he probably ain’t even good enough for them.

I was a Tyshawn guy myself although I wasn’t impressed by his short king part but then after Louie’s boring last part the choice was obvious. All the people mad about Tyshawn winning were butt hurt about Nyjah or Louie not winning including the people he cited. Unfortunately for him and his argument neither Nyjah or Louie are white so case fucking closed…stop looking for race in everything and comparing the Greiner deal to a skate award is laughable at best and offensive at worst…I just find it cringe but par for the course for the guy riding off the coat tails of having the same name as one of the east coast greats.

The better side of the split 😘

i remember seeing you guys a handful of times. notably the record release in DC, with punch, and with raw nerve

[fineslime]

tries to throw shade at GH trying to "monetize his opinion," when this dude is trying to do the same exact thing, albeit it in a way less entertaining and in a more pseudo intellectual way.

[Chavo]

We were way overdue for Popps identity confusion topic. I'm glad it was partially integrated into this thread.

[veritas]

This switch ollie photo at the carwash is perfection.

wtf is a pit of equality? all videos of in my eyes seem like it was 99% white kids in the pit

in my eyes were admittedly hella sick though. when i see 00s emotional hardcore earlier in the thread i was more referring to like american nightmare, modern life is war and champion rather than verse

[modern life is war]

god there are just so many better straight edge bands than earth crisis

What about that Despise You split?

[greenbeans]

this guy sucks so bad.  he definitely wrote that and sat back and said "god damn i am so much smarter than everyone that will read this"

do people forget or just flat out not know that nyjah is black?

That proves he’s dumb because smart people don’t have to tell us they are smart

[TheLurper]

I'm just commenting in here to say that I'm not gonna read that article

I tried. I really tried, but I don't have any clue what the fuck this dude is trying to say.

Honestly, trying to connect Griner, Carter, Biden, Tyshawn, and a bullshit award done by a magazine that was started to be propaganda for Independent Trucks is fucking absurd to me.

None of them deserve SOTY since none of them ride for Independent.

[skate_or_dingus]

 Isn't there already a Hardcore thread somewhere on this board? Take your goofy little party over there, boys.

[marty mcfly]

Every time I read Pappalardo I’m stoked for a second…but again…its not the one I want to hear about!
What is Popps doing these days?i watch mosaic now…F the fake pappalardo

Let's be real, hardcore music is cringe and the same as Incel core .
This article shows what straight edge does to a mf

[manysnakes]

Wait is this fool just reading the slap boards to glean content to create opinion pieces?

skate twitter

[streetmeat]

those bands definitely suck and earth crisis does not but bands like blank stare or coke bust are more up my alley than either of the aforementioned

definitely going off topic but only vaguely because the moron that wrote this article started one of the bands talked about

blank stare > every band mentioned here.

[lurker_and_poster]

I understand that racism is a real problem globally and American society especially is build on racism.
That hate culture in the digital world is straight stupid.
People shoud act and react behind the screen as in front of the person - with a minimum respect.

But the article was stupid.

Nyjah, Louie, TJ, Tristan and Tyshawn produce outstanding footage this year and all 5 gave enough reason for getting Thrasher SOTY.

Race and Hatespeach had nothing todo with the decision.

[skate_bored]

that switch ollie photo really is sick. what are your fav switch ollies?

this one always stood out to me:

[sizzle_chest]

Has Burnett taken a vow of silence or something? When is he going to address the readers' concerns?

Despise You is better than both Coke Bust and certainly my old band. Played probably the hottest show of my life with them in Boston. Very fun.

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

i had a bunch of hardcore friends in high school and theyre all either hike/mountain bike normies now or dead by their own hand long ago (the posers are still alive)

[decoi1]

Yea that was trash. What did Gravette say though?

It was something like:
Someone should’ve told nyjah all he has to do is skating a flat gap and not these big rails

From the looks of it he’s receiving phone calls from his coworkers who get stoked whenever they run into a skateboarder that’s heard of him.
