Five pages determining the legitimacy of a single .gif image. You guys are losing it.

This is exactly what makes it such good art.

I'm going to make some popcorn and watch this thread. Want some?

i guarantee none of you could do that, that ground is ridiculous, and the time between the ollies is like 0 seconds. i might be able to do it just cause i have some of the best ollies in skateboarding, but probably not. same with the ollie, ollie, kickflip, ollie. that would be regular no one on here or off here could do that, do youo know how fucking hard that is? 2 ollies + banks = ridiculous.

i have lots of spots like that near my house you have to ollie up the bank then pop again to do your flip trick and its next to impossible to get speed and even tougher to get your feet where you want them to its just the people who hate live in cali they dont have spots like that so they dont know shit about real skating they just play at skateparks all day and do easy ass switch tricks that they make seem like they are the craziest thing ever... turns out switch bigflip back tail heelflip out isnt as hard as you thought when all you do is skate inch high blocks of crystal meth all day.

I hope Popps shuts the haters up with his Chocolate, but I have a feeling it aint gonna happen.

dude watch the gif again look at his right foot it looks like he is wearing a converse high you see the star on the ankle and then when he ollies the chain its a low

Obviously this sequence was pieced together a la Aaron Snyder. There's no way Pops could lay down those ollies back to back like that.

Adair · « **Reply #130 on:** February 11, 2010, 07:11:38 PM »

I liked it. Pops encapsulates what attracted me to skateboarding in the first place- riding your board and actually skating through the streets*. Ledge dancing has become boring to me now, shoot me down. There's just too much of it, it's starting to feel like when somebody who knows nothing about skating watches a part and says; "It all looks the same to me". Sometimes I don't want to pull out a calculator and some graph paper to work out what the fuck I just saw; it's out of my level and doesn't inspire me, and often does the opposite in that it makes me question my abilities on a skateboard.

*I don't really care if that sounds pretentious, it's fucking true.

i hope u guys realize that it isn't the skater that pushes their photos to be seen on websites. the photographer is the one who tries and get their photos published.

i seriously doubt anthony cared if this sequence was published. he was probably skating that spot for fun, not thinking anything of it. the photographer thought it looked cool, shot it, and sent it to the mags.

if anyone else were to do this it would look like shit, only pops can make something like that look good.

everyone gets it. half of you think pops is your perfect date/metaphor to why you skate, what you like about skating, etc, while the other half thinks you are fags. nothing else has been said in any of the 28 threads surrounding this man in the last couple months. you kids should just go camp outside his family's resturaunt until he shows up. save it
and dont cry, i back the dude.

You need to save these words so you can copy and paste them directly into the insane thread that starts once his chocolate part comes out. Nah, just kidding, there will be 5 of these threads before then.

Canuck · « **Reply #134 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:37:48 AM »

Pops = Awesome.

This thread = stupid.

Me = dumb kid.

Except that most of us skate here and do shit like that every week, and probably much better shit then anything Pops has done in years.

you sure about that? this ad is pretty recent

Dirtyjersey · « **Reply #136 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:51:32 AM »

I didn't even read the whole thing, just seems stupid, his part on this new chocolate video could be 30 seconds and I would still back his skating, he deseveres ten times the respect that he is getting.

im originally from cleveland. i skated shitty ground everyday. before i moved here to california i didn't even know what smooth ground felt like. popps just sucks. anybody can skate shitty ground as soon as you warm up.
