compared to how tech he used to be to how basic he is now i just dont like his new footy anymore...if your not going to put out footy a lot when you do put it out it needs to be good...so he better have a full part in chocolate video and it better not be another one of these so called timeless parts like the lakai one....

the way his feet are place on his board during the set up and in the air on that ollie over the chain was pretty cool looking in my opinion

I lost respect for him a while ago. I know alot defend him and say his style and what he has done thru the years, but this is where that comment is bogus as shit. He is 27-30 somewhere in there, you see guys normally regress from age past 35 (Carroll and some of the girl camp is excluded!) and his career isnt even half as influencial as those guys. He seems to act like he has led some epic skate career, that is ignorant! What he is putting out, a ton of skaters could do but here is the kicker guys; He gets paid for this, he has a pro shoe for this, and he has a pro deck from this which he gets the revenue for, as for you guys none of the above, just hopes and dreams. Im not saying you skate for sponsorship and to get famous. None of us started skating with strickly that mentality, but to focus more on things other than skating, and sit back and milk the perks from pro skating while not doing it(cmon it shows!) I think is pretty lame.

his sponsers are seeimgly happy with him so lets just stop being bitter shall we, some people are just lucky that they get paid to do what they like to do.

As long as he still wants to be a professional skateboarder instead of doing it for the paycheck, I'm down. I'll wait for the Chocolate video before I draw more conclusions.

i was just thinking with all of the recent "progression" in skating i.e.
ledge combo tricks and what not, do you not find it refreshing that
some people are opting out of trying to do the next best combo?

i've heard so many people say enough with the ledge dancing.
well popps is the antithesis of that kind of skating.

frenchtoast · « **Reply #160 on:** February 15, 2010, 04:39:11 PM »

there is so many more things he could have done in that sequence that would of made people say it was okay but nothing special but look at it its 2 ollies thats something many of us would do warming up its not like his ollies look any better than the next person i like how much support this guy gets and then actually good skating gets hated its ridiculous hahaha

Okay fellas listen up: we have more than two choices of types of skating to prefer and support. It's not like, if we don't like ledge dancing or Mike Mo or whatever, then we must like Anthony Poppalardo and his fat kid-style of professional skateboarding. So stop comparing Poppalardo to whatever you think is the worst kind of skating right now as if we can only support one of those two types of skating (you god damned idiot). This is an example of a logical fallacy that is so common that it even has a name ('false choice'). And this is why Poppalardo is the worst: because he is fully taking advantage of the fact that some of you are so stupid that you really think the only choices you have as to who you want to support are him and Mike Mo or Nugget or some such person. If you people had brains in your heads, then he would have only his little benches to financially support him and those skaters that actually kill the kind of skating that he fronts like he's capable of doing well would be getting his paychecks. I applaud you if you want to support someone besides P Rod, but get a fucking clue as to what's what in the non-P Rod world of skaters first; there are plenty of sick ones who should be getting paid and they're not.

LOL at this topic. We're better off talking about what's better for healing cancer than finding a happy medium between hate and apreesh for Popps.

i think his bench's are dope and not just cause i back Pops one hunnid but because i thinks it cool to strive to be good at other things besides just skateboaring!!! (waits for hate)

Yeah, I'm currently trying to build up a sick stamp collection--I'm gonna be the best at that shit! GET SOME!

its on a blog, get over it. do people consider blogs legit coverage now? i thought its a given that anything that shows up on those things is throwaway/fucking around

i dont think most of you get it

if pops made a part like his old parts, it wouldnt have been as good, and probably would have been outshined by everyone else on the video fully flared.

pops made a unique part of all never been seen spots all in really sick urban locations which was hardly the case on that video. most of the spots were in europe, asia, or in california (and not in downtown spots for the most part they were like industrial type locations). also every trick was like first try cause those spots are so heat youd get kicked out in a second.

if he would have made a part like his old parts i guarantee everyone would have completely forgot about him by now.

i am going to come out with a part this year that is all first try shit like that too like skating in places where everyone else has deemed it "unskateable", well i am going to skate it while getting the boot and ill have all these sick unique spots and it will be interesting to watch instead of me trying to muster up some ledge trick i can hardly do and have it look like shit and fall into the wave of youtube skate videos.

i understand people who are bummed on pops--he's really really good and technical, and instead chooses to do simple, clean tricks. some people say that's being lazy. but personally, i actually like to watch clean, simple tricks, instead of tech stuff. he has amazing style; anything he does looks good. and i understand why he does it--it's fun as hell to just cruise and pop ollies.

for example: i have personally done a few of the tricks, at those spots, that he does in this little video. but the tricks are radder when he does them, just because he looks great on a skateboard, and i look sort of like a sloth when i skate.

Okay, somebody needs to be stoned to death for suggesting that one of Anthony Poppalardo's recent ads could possibly approach the sickness that is that Cardiel ad. Cardiel has lived the skateboarding life of a hundred of any of us, and he fucking beat the gnarliest odds of all time. The fact that he can currently g-turn is breathtakingly excellent, and if that shit never happened to him, he would be flying over your head at a million miles an hour and making you scream. Get the fuck out of here you emo kook.

i'm not suggesting he approaches cards. cards is cards. pops is pops. i question what is wrong with a nose manual in still. if there is no flip in flip out type shit what need is there for sequence?
