in which at the time nobody gave a shit about jerry hsu, and that probably includes you

[sleeping.]

iv'e always liked jerry hsu.

also it's weird he didn't really become the flavour until a year or so after his enjoi part came out.

it took a year for some reason.

damn don't hate me for your lame misfortunes. i would've thought all that copycatting of older people on her would've made you dig jerry hsu late flips and kanten russell leaps. can't even do that right i see.

I don't remember Ollie Pop until around 2004.

The early 2000s was a good time for skateboarding; all of the 1990s skaters were still around.

[TheMoneyMellon]

i was skating in the early 2000's and honestly i wish i wasn't

Aren't you like 17?

[Bill]

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

For a while there I thought you were actually a decent poster, until you post stuff like this that reminds me that you're still nolliefeebs. 

[headache]

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.

[toque]

can't wait for his section in fully flared.

[DrNewton]

WHY THE HELL DID HE GO TO JAIL? THAT'S ALL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. THANK YOU SLAP POSTERS.

[Alexactly]

I hear he done it with a 'roo.

IGNORED MOTHERFUCKER.

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

[close]

Dude you're right, you convinced me, he shoulda been eating ice cream and done it with his eyes closed while popping it effortlessly over the stairs. When have you ever seen anyone switch heel up 5 stairs? I'm not even that big a fan of pops but still dude your argument is regular. Shoulda went with the one sleeping is using.

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.

"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.

[FOURS]

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.

[killbot]

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!
