Anthony Pappalardo Off The Grid

[Hatechild]

I'm still trying to figure out how they got one of those California school benches in Brooklyn.

It was sent out UPS by Chocolate for training purposes.

Pops didn't build it?

[Nosferatu]

that was rad.  that loose white board going down the loading dock inside the warehouse looked sketchy.  same with that over the rail into the fence.  I haven't been following the berrics but isn't this video in a whole other league of interesting as far as scenery and music over the battle commanders edited to lil wayne?

That was fucking horrible! Yeah it's fun skating all night and cruising but the guy is a "professional" skateboarder. I can see how old fat dudes with jobs, a family, bills, etc can relate to only having the ability to do weak ollies, but you old fat guys should realize you suck at skating because you have responsibilities. He's just some meth addict weirdo that is into making furniture but likes the pay checks he gets because somehow people still back him, like people that love talentless "creative" East Coast douche bags and have too much pride for where they were born and raised, and will probably die. The whole time I was watching that it reminded me of what it feels like to skate after you're hurt for a long time.

[cringe.]

If pops kickflips in a street and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

[CigaretteBeer]

That being said, it is a cool idea. If it had Gerwer or someone like that killing it at night it would be awesome.

[steven]

There a dozen fun little DIY skate features right under the BQE where he was.  Would have been nice to see him skate them.

[i used to skate]

is the meth talk just jokes or actually based on something?

This is kind of a good point.. I like the video, but I think I'd be more psyched if this was just some rando off of these boards rather than a seasoned pro. Skating through some sketch locale at night is fun as fuck, but Pops has proven himself capable of putting out top-flight footage over the years, and it's kind of a kick in the teeth for him to squander his talent when I'm sure most of us wish we could pull off half the shit he's done in the past.

[niallc95]

i really enjoyed that. Skating trick wise wasn't very special, but the landscapes were awesome and the whole vid flowed very well, got me hyped to skate.

[skateordie]

I liked it, and keep your jockified babylon to yourself and chase the "RADiKal Trixxzzz" dragon down on abc or fox televising street league, cause I hope to see more videos like it in the future.
ok, birdo.
When I go out skating late at night, I'm not exactly kickflipping my dick off either, nor would I take more than 2 tries at anything before moving on and skating to the next spot. This was a good, unfiltered, (and im gonna cringe a little bit with this last one...) and raw depiction of what skateboarding means to someone like me, and what an average night rolling around the neighborhood feels like.
right on, pops.
I'm not bringing a generator along with me.
i hear ya, fat bill.
No I don't wanna watch the shot we just got.
you got it, cool guy.
Fuck a car, cellphone, or anything in my pockets 'sept a sweaty dollar for a bottle of water.
sounds good, new reynolds.
Lets go see whats over there.
And then take a different way back.
right behind ya, puleo.

Word, Pops is so talented it's weird to see some of his recent coverage. REgardless, Im interested to see how his choc part will turn out.

[Twig88]

Didn't hate it, didn't love it.

I like Eli Reed and Zared's rainy day off the grid the best out of all of them so far

In conclusion, anything is better than Chaz Ortiz's super boring one

Little bastard does all those flippity tricks!
I don't even like Chaz but the hate is ridiculous, hes good at skateboard tricks, end of.

[jeremyrandall]

I liked it.  Probably cause this is exactly how I've been skating the last few months.

[ticklefingers]

i love that people actually believe the meth rumor.

oh the joys of slap

I was hoping this was going to be footage of him in his garage making a table.

Pops don't fuss with plastic.

[McBrandt]

Peeps keep calling out another Code 97A on him. It's a global problem, I guess. Where's the Skateboard Police?

[bandini]

You think that's crazy? There are seemingly a ton of people here who actually think Pops is going to have a part in the chocolate video...

[Narcissus]

Who does that Velvet Underground cover? That's my question.

[macgruber]

I haven't watched one of these yet. Is it just Sterra's answer to park footage getting old and stale?

[idealhandmades]

this is the only one I've watched, so I don't know about the rest, but I would guess "yes" is the answer to that.
Too bad he didn't come to this realization after Dyrdek and Caine Gayle's part in IE
(which kinda brings this thing full circle considering pops is in the first 10 seconds of this clip, not kickflipping.)

[daniel]

They don't call him Anthony "Ice Man" Pappalardo for nothing.

Dood is deep in it.

Good point. pops doesn't do any flip tricks in IE

[Monty Burns]

Its weird when you see new Pappalardo footage , sometimes you kinda forget how fucking good he was / is . But then when you see old AWS footage and shit , you just suddenly remember holy shit that dude is good


Still hoping for 2 song end part in Choco vid with all his old school tech and big stuff combined with some of his new style .

Anyways , he is still young , and he isnt hurt so he should be able to do all the old stuff.

i think you misread my sweater buddy's post. he was referring to just the first 10 seconds in rob & caine's part, not pops' part.

OrDie is right.
however,  kudos for posting Pop's part from IE anyways. it's a good'un.

I think it was Sonic Youth, but I've never heard it before.
