I think its safe to say anyone can do this. Who really cares though. Pretty much anyone can do anything nowadays it seems. I mean you go to a park and u see 1000 kids that can kickflip backtail and nollie heel noseslide on call. Have you ever watched a video with flip trick after flip trick after combo after combo? Its mind numbing after a while and usually leaves you ( or at least me) feeling bummed that you cant do shit like that. But when you first started skating did you really care about tricks? no. You were siked to do anything, and it was so sick when you learned anything new, even if it was ollieng up a curb. I think pappalardo, as simplistic as his skating is gives people a refreshed feeling, because its within limits of what you could probably do. And also he makes it look good. No one has ever filmed that spot. And honestly if someone did a kickflip into that cellar door then nollie inward heel over the chain it would'nt look as good. I had to watch the sequence a few times because it got me so siked to skate, i mean c'mon how fun does it look? I think all the haters need to get their cocks out of furbys ass and get back to what skatings all about. This dude prooved he can be "tech" and go big. Remember, he pretty much switch flipped love before anything like that was going down.

Couldn't have put it any better

you know why pops can get away with the shit he does?  because it still sells.  you know why he has a pro shoe?  cause it sells. 

being a sponsered or pro skateboarder has little to do with skill... its all marketability.

amen to that. This whole Pops thing reminds me of an earlier problem in skateboarding history.

See, Metallica used to sell boards as well.


Kirk Hammett was the ish back them. I mean, look at him getting down on those stairs.

But James Hetfield on the other hand. Dude would just CARRY his skateboard and look fresh.
that dickhead sold more boards than Kirk.

Hetfield pioneered the mall grab

You haters are going to be sorry you talked shit when one of these T.F. owners pays Pops to redo their spot. You haven't seen ledge dancing until it's done on one of Pop's exquisitely stained benches.

I think he's rad simply because he seems like he could give a fuck what anyone thinks. 10 pages?

I think I'm trying to make this a signature "Inanimate Object" move. Whenever everything possible has been said about a subject, I'm going to post up this video of Krunt hitting a plastic head with a bat in his backyard.

There is symbolism in this video of a chubby juggalo at bat; much like Krunt's replayed striking of the plastic head, some topics have been thoroughly bludgeoned by SLAP's collective opinion. There is nothing left to say about these topics, but that Krunt rules.

Well, after his overly criticized Fully Flared part, he hasn't put out anything more technical has he? It also "seems like" you're a regular, know-it-all bed wetter. Of course, I don't know for sure.
