Over the last couple of years we haven’t seen much footage of the elusive Pops, aside from his tricks in Cherry and the occasional Instagram post. He’s not the easiest to track down and he’s not the type of guy you bump into skating LES skatepark. Luckily for us, our friend and filmer Richard Quintero is one of the few people that has been filming occasionally with Pops over the last couple of months. Accumulating some skate mission footage and clips, we thought it was too good to get dusty and lost in some hard drive. With that in mind, we edited the footage and sat down with Pops for a short conversation about his skateboarding and the future of his career.

This guy is so high on his own farts. No doubt Papps has/had incredible skate ability and/or parts but the guy basically fell victim to the “Ian Mckay” syndrome. He listened to too much of that hardcore shit and now totally believes it. The other thing that debilitates skater careers – east coast syndrome. Same thing that infected Bobby Puleo, same thing that hurt a lot of the Zoo guys. All great skaters and then – Poof – nothing.

The only legit excuse I’ve ever been able to come up with for Pops was that he got cracked out. Otherwise the demise of his career is just inexplicable.
