okay so its 2016 and this guys kickflip indys are still to this day unlike anything ive ever seen. He was truly ahead of his time by over 10 years. Just another jay adams story... r.i.p
tas you gave me one of your revolution skate decks when i was a kid working at the county fair in the san francisco bay area for some rib dinners when i was working at a bbq there and then signed it for me. i still have it. since i met you i joined the united states marine corps and had done some terrible things to people in afghanistan and thought how on earth could there even be a god in a world like this. but after watching this, I think I may read the bible sir. its funny how you still inspire me brother, and for that I say thanks.
Its a sin you found yourself in that position. I feel for you. Cool story about meeting Tas though
Hey Scott - firstly, a big thank you and much respect for serving your country and always being the first on hand to help out my country when we're in a pickle (I'm an Aussie).
Secondly, brother - I can promise you that there is nothing you've done and nothing you've become that will make God reject you. I've got mates who've served in the military and I was a Police officer before I was a pastor - so I've seen and experienced a fair few things - though nothing like what you have been through.
Jesus has taken your place brother - that cross was for you - to take away your sin - regardless of how horrific you feel like it is. I'd be happy to chat with you any time about this man - I have a heart for military guys who've swapped lead with their enemy and are dealing with the demons that come with the territory. my email is wakefords@optusnet.com.au -
bless you man.
Pastor Steve
Find your way brother 👊
Love the Pappas bros. Warts and all. Hope Tas finds what he's looking for..
It's good to see someone coming back so triumphantly after falling from Grace, especially someone this talented
why are you guys hating on him for turning to god?hell if it made him into a better person and helped him get his life back on track then why the fuck would you hate him for it?
if the god of bible is brutally shitty and narcistic - isnt supporting him not good? (personally not hating him for this)
It might be worth reading a Bible brother - and find out for yourself what God is like. Grace, mercy, truth, justice. Those things are part of God's character. Sure, He judges people for their sin - but that's a good thing, isn't it? Otherwise there's no justice in this world.
Steve when was the last time you read old testament? Its ok if you beat your slave and he dies in a few days, you should stone people who work on sabbath etc?
In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and animals.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant.
In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they are allowed to rape as spoils of war.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them
Context is a good thing mate. Perhaps we don't understand God's holiness and His right to judge sin. Each of those examples - and there are plenty more - are cases where various people have sinned terribly - and God has judged them. Interestingly, it's always after repeated warnings to stop it or face the consequences. Particularly with Pharaoh - 10 plagues - warning after warning after warning. And remember these warnings are to a guy who is the last one in a line of Egyptian rulers who enslaved, beat, whipped, murdered etc - including drowning the male babies of the Hebrew slaves.
I'm actually preaching through Exodus at the moment - if you'd like to have a listen to my talk on Exodus 12 it might help clear up a few of the misunderstandings you have - that's not me bagging you out by the way - it's there online, I just preached it last Sunday - so anyone can listen to it online. www.southcarltonanglican.org.au and look for sermons.
Blessings man
Steve
Steve Wakeford judging is evil imo, thats satans job (If he exists) many innocent children were killed, not just sinners and some of the so valley sins are not sins. doing homosexual acts for example shouldny mean you should be stoned. There is a lot of good stuff in bible but god of old testament is petty, cruel and narcistic
Hey Tas - thanks for your vid mate - I'm playing it in church this weekend and I reckon there won't be a dry eye in the house.
Blessings brother
Steve
I’m with you bro, Jesus is the answer. Thank you for helping me find my way.
JESUS set the captive free! Love you, Brother Tas Papas!! Jucimar from Brazil
Why does it always have to be about God?
Tas and Ben were rad beyond their years. I saw them for the first time in some contest in NYC we stumbled across while on a bar crawl, I had gotten out of skating at that point so I didnt know who they were, but Ben won the contest and I been a fan ever since, through the good times and bad...
love ❤️ yourself as without and without. compassion
What? He was a slayer fan!
what a top bloke
tas is a fucking legend looked up to him and his bro as a youth then I been in some similar situations later in life then I seen his movie and wrote to him on fb and he replied straight away . deffo a true real dude. no one knows what hes been threw in the jail losing folk not being able to speak before there last days . keep it up tas man you give me hope in times of darkness that there is light at the end of a drug fulled tunnel , if its god that's helped him then let it be fuck the haters they don't matter . look at him now happy as fuck loving life. im well happy for the guy and this story really hit me and I couldn't stop thinking about it as its so sim ilar to stuff ive seen and done . respect to tas and billyben from rory in scotland

Tas is a way better skater then Hawk. He smeared Hawk and hawk was a poor sport and had to cheat to win.
If you guys are using hard drugs or pills, get some help before it's to late. It will take you down.. Feel bad for his brother..

Hi there ... I would like to learn some skateboard lesson with Tas Pappas ... sound ... wherever sound ... but honestly I believe in miracles ...
He should stop lying about Tony Hawk
REDEMPTION
❤
Why do all these people credit God with the things they actually achieve themselves...it may take a prison cell to realise certain things but really all they are doing is finding themselves...not God....I'd rather believe in myself
Neonleeroy no one what u think loser
Neonleeroy... Its the easiest excuse...🤭
It doesn’t really make a difference if you believe in yourself or god.
because reading the bible was the light bulb moment for him.
Awesome!! A men brother !!

So awesome. 🙌

Poser can't do 900 without mega ramp
FACKA HYTLA you’re the biggest poser! You don’t even skate !
YOU can’t do an 180 on a mini OR vert
sad but true.
Tas fucked up. Hes got no one else to turn to but God. Its a shame he feels like that. What a character he was/is.
Nice
