I like Pappalardo. I really do. But thats the first thought that came to mind when I saw this.

I really hope his Chocolate footage isnt a bunch of ollies. I like east coast skating, but this is getting out of hand.

looks like a fun spot but not sequence worthy.

COMMUNITYPACK · « **Reply #9 on:** February 09, 2010, 02:58:42 PM »

Fuck it. Shoot me: that made me want to go for a skate more than ALMOST anything else that's been on here in the last few weeks.

And yeah: I'm a total faggot.

He skates pretty good for someone with full-blown AIDS.

I wanna say that it looks a little bit harder than it seems but hey, it was on a blog for a reason.

your consistent aids accusations make me laugh.

i like seeing simple shit like this and it gets me hyped to skate. i'm old and i suck at skating though.

sage · « **Reply #14 on:** February 09, 2010, 03:22:41 PM »

Stop looking for every excuse to stick up for this guy. Popalardo is blowing it so fucking hard. Watch him have almost no footage in the Chocolate video.

yikes....

amazing spot and pretty dope sequence... do your thing pops

slickrick · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2010, 03:41:58 PM »

why is it this guy can get away with it , cellar door whore

stephop · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2010, 03:43:43 PM »

Great spot. Garbage sequence that requires knowing how to ollie bench high. Impressive.

Burton Ernie · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2010, 03:52:43 PM »

you fucking whiny bitches.

That's most likely a warm-up for a harder line.

But then even if it's not who fuckin cares anyway? I'm sure HE'S not worried about it.

Sidewayslurkzine · « **Reply #20 on:** February 09, 2010, 03:57:36 PM »

cant wait til chocolate video drops and shuts all you haters up
pops can have some shit up his sleeve when he wants to, i mean this is the guy who switch bs 50-50ed clipper amongst other shit

Just Green Enough · « **Reply #21 on:** February 09, 2010, 04:02:22 PM »

the guy doesn't skate like he used to.
i'm not really into backing people who are trying to make a legit career and not actually working for it.

One of these threads seems to come up every week; seeing as theyre not going anywhere, i suggest a stickied pappalardo thread.

One side of the pappalardo spectrum focuses on how basic and lackluster his skating seems to be, be it a comment like, "i can do that."
This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but the difference is that, I don't want to see "you" do that. His skating seems to have evolved into skating how he actually enjoys, and perhaps I like it simply for the fact that he has shown his ability to skate as technical as he wishes, or he's earned his stripes if you will.

What made me want to skate in the first place was imagining what it would be like to be able to roll through a town without having to pick up my board, on some marty mcfly feel. I didn't start with the intention of learning tricks, but rather to be one with the board, as lame or cliche as that sounds. Whether this is considered "in defense" or not, when I see a sequence like this, it gets me hyped because it reminds me of that initial desire I had to skate.

oh please, dude had damn near 10 years for his lakai part to have stuff up his sleeve and it was still a shotgun blast of disappointment even if you had no expectations at all.

his style isn't even all that. dude fucking sucks period. If Mike Carroll did this shit I would blast him as well and he has more style in his foreskin than Popps has.

I guarantee if he was an uknown skater his sponsor me tape would be laughed at and thrown out. No one gives a shit about his style really. people just say that as a cover up.

He is hilarious to me, on one hand he wants to be a New York art faggot who skates Gall like spots but on the other hand is a complete anti social recluse. Hilarious
