Legendary skateboarder Tas Pappas explains how he pulled off some of the most ambitious tricks of all time.
---
All This Mayhem is an unflinching, never-before-seen tale that uncovers a world of drugs and unfettered hedonism during the glory days of professional vert skateboarding. Legendary skaters and charismatic brothers Tas and Ben Pappas share an intense bond that not only propels them to the pinnacle of their sport, but also proves their undoing in this tragic story of Shakespearian proportions. Coming soon to theaters.

Damn, I had no idea that he and Ben went to jail during this period. I used to love these dudes. Also had no idea Tas managed to land the 900. I saw Tony do one at sports and music festival 3d back in like 99/2000. It was on top of the hard rock cafe and during that same weekend Danny Way was jumping out of helicopters into the ramp. Rode in an elevator with Colin Mckay and he gave me his current board while he setup another one. My asshole little brother stole it from me and sold it. Had the biggest wheel wells I'd ever seen.
