Remember seeing him at one of my local skateparks for a demo and he never was off of his board never missed a trick just flowed for over an hour trick after trick one of the biggest moments in my skate career
Not a skater at all, but a caregiver to two rescue dogs and I've rescued others in the past. YES! What he said. I don't comprehend how people will pay for a dog, or any pet, when there are soooo many dogs living in terrible conditions about to be put to death. Ugh. Go to a pound. Meet a dog. Take a dog home. Rescue dogs are THE best. I wake up every morning at 6:00 to walk my dogs. I walk my dogs again every night before bed. They are one of the purest joys in my life/in this world.
The east coast set the stage for today's skating predominant style. Imo Ricky Oyola and Bobby Puleo we're the originators of it. Popps definitely pushed that as well.
@@juvedoo99 hey. Noob here (haven't been into skating in like 10 years. ) I've noticed things have changed a lot. Style. Even deck sizes are wider than they used to be.... if you don't mind, can you give me a short "filling in" of what's going on. If you got time. Thanks.
Astrol Spore, shores got really slim not just Reynolds 3 slim, and now clothes are get a little more baggy as an ode to 90’s skating, really there’s too much to cover if you wanna questions I’ll definitely answer them and I been skating since I was 7 on 99 and got schooled to the industry in 2002 and I skate to this day. Last thing look up mark suicu he’s got a million absolutely amazing parts and honorable mentions are tyshawn Johnson, Blake Johnson Vincent Alvarez and Elijah Berle oh and Wes Kremer + a ton more because I’m sure you’re aware skating progressed a lot since 2000 alone, any questions just ask I love to talk skating
Certainly one of the best documentaries that Patrick O 'Dell has done is the one with Anthony Pappalardo. His new phase in Fully Flared, with dirty tricks going through the cold and dark city of NYC. Fell to him with great style combined with their new way of dress more alternative, all he did in that video was insane.
His dad’s pizzeria is like really good, it’s in my neighborhood I highly recommend it. His skating is incredible man such an underrated skater I respect how he keeps it real and to the point, I feel like a lot of people need to have that level of honesty.
I felt like his fully flared part was badly edited into the video cos Mike Mo had a more technical part and was very young and fresh at the time and one of the best skaters on the planet at that moment and was doing waist high switch tre flips over stuff whereas Pappalardo's was more basic but like very east coast raw and fast and aggressive skating with ollies over sketchy gaps with terrible run ups or into a bank onto a highway. it seemed like a pretty bad clash that kinda made people gloss over it a bit at the time cos Mike Mo's style was more in fashion and his part was immense. Pappalardo's approach was way ahead of it's time though and is really in fashion now.
Anthony’s part in lakai fully flared was so sick I remember being 12/13 and just being in aww after, I wasn’t the best skater so watching his part gave me hope.
This so reminds me of some bands you grow up liking who start with a certain sound you fall in love with on their demo tape or EP and maybe their first (or even second full-length album) before they start a transition into some new creative endeavours. That ain't inherently bad or unusual. In fact, it's perfectly "normal"... Who doesn't change from the age of say, 20, or 30... only a fool doesn't.
Man I feel old... hahah pops definitely one of my favorite real skaters out there. And rob good for you brother, I said the same thing about 10 years ago. I still skate but dont do any of the gnarly shit I use to do.
12 to 19 CONSUMED. Today I can't skate due to back injury but I have one of those finger boards and spend a lil time on it everyday haha skateboarding rules man. My Mom is gone now but she got me my first board a NASH complete in 88 I wish I could remember the set up. Life changing I didn't even ask for it she just knew some how that I was a skater.
His Fully Flared part is one my favorites from that vid, just because it was different and it stood out. I like his style of skating, and using a Bad Brains song worked so well. Alex Olson part also sick.
I think the thing I like about Pop's is that he went from being one of the most tech skaters 10 years ago and instead of just getting out of the sport like others would, he re-invented himself. I did the same. I was getting tired of throwing myself down stairs and gettin broke off, now I skate tranny's now.
I agree,I love tech.. but the simplest tricks with style look so much better & flow sooo much smoother. Looks better. But Tech,with style like Marc Johnson is priceless..
Converse basically forced him into a contract where they barely pay him and use his name for the shoe. They were gonna drop him from the team so he had no choice financially.
Looking back, the part is sick but I think it was edited badly. Like it wasn't suspenseful at all. The tricks were good but overall it just didn't fit. The music too explosive but that wasn't explosive skating. It wasn't jumping off buildings and 20 stair rails. He's literally cruising through NY.
he has like this christopher walken accent he puts on, is that really how he talks? Or is that something he puts on when he's a bit nervous or something? Have there been other interviews to compare this one to?
I remember watching the Lakai video and seeing Anthony's part and going "Who the fuck is this dude?....He's sick!" His part was so tight and different.
Nothing about old alien shit an when he was am an living in Long Island? I seen him skate right before an when he had his alien video part an that shit was amazing.
Why is this Latered two episodes at 20 minutes each and most of the others are a bunch of 10 minute episodes. Not complaining. Just asking. I wish they were all like one or two 30 minute pieces.
Hey Vice, you should do an Epicly later'd on Sean Malto if you get the chance. I'm still young, growing up, and skating and he has been one of my favorite skaters throughout these years. I would love to see his story, and I don't think I am the only one. Thanks Vice!
