maybe he doesnt even want to be a pro skateboarder anymore
its like the dude who said his teacher brought a mannequin around school with him and shit, he was just tryin to get fired.
or maybe he just doesnt want skateboarding to be in the olympics so he is trying to make the level of skating crappier in the usa so that it stays in the streets. so shit goes back to the roots.
or maybe he is just trying to appeal to people who suck at skating, who make up probably 90% of the skateboard market. wants to be seen as just some normal guy (which he is) and not some super star athlete.
haha yes these are ridiculous sounding cause who is going to want to watch the video with the crappiest skating right?
i think though he just doesnt really give a shit about doing any of that hard stuff and doesnt care if he is not pro anymore. it is like kurt cobain he liked makin music and stuff but he hated fans. he tried to appreciate it but just could not. pappalardo likes to skate but i wouldnt be surprised if he was turned off from the whole industry and what it has turned into now.
he has so many die hard fans though he probably doesnt want to let them down with crappy parts but at the same time he probably doesnt want to come out with nothing either. thats gotta be depressing has to pick 1 and neither are what he truly wants.
