> R.I.P BEN PAPPAS
seriously mick personaly i think its a good thing you posted this thread for your mate... i didnt know him on a personal level but always chated to him down at the park and to me as a skateboarder he was a fine amazing talented indivdual...
regardless on what happened in these tragic advents i think people should all pay their respect to a amazing skateboarder and not look at what he did in his last days, but what he did for australian skateboarding as a whole... once again i pay my respect to ben and lynettes family in these sad times but hopefully everyone can put the dark side behind and remember the glory days of "ben pappas"... r.i.p
I only met Ben on two occasions; the first at the event this clip was shot in Sydney in 2005 and then later again that year in Melbourne at the opening of the new Prahran vert ramp.
Ben was pleasant to be around on the platform at the demo, and later that evening at Boz' place in Camberwell myself and girlfriend at the time both enjoyed talking shite with him over a bbq and many beers.
A sad loss to Australian skateboarding and a great loss to family and friends.
Condolences to everyone close to the Pappas family.
