Good stuff. I still love the line he does in the INFMS video right across from the Brooklyn Banks. Fs 180 on that rough as nails bank, fakie 180, nollie 180 onto a curb and then a pop shuv-it across the gap. Simple and stylish

"it's hard for the newer generation to keep up with me. It's not easy what I do."
95% of the hate this guy gets is deserved these days. Get off your fucking soapbox and go skate.

When the fucj is the greatest misses DVD coming out?
I dig bob. His site rules. Can actually learn somthing from it. Bob lead me to watching movies like dark days and gods of time square. Both epic!
Imagine he was on consolidated? Ha.
I'm surprised he isn't on dekline or vox.

In case you guys haven't looked around, skateboarding needs some assholes right now.
Do what you like.
Bob skates cool spots and cares about his "image".
It's better than being a turd who waits for someone to find a spot and then go one up them.
-
I like how he speaks his mind and doesn't mince words. Gino/Nike call out!

no it's not.
i agree that intentionally 'one upping' is pretty lame, but skating & filming at a popular spot isn't the worst thing. so fucking what now, we have to be weary of abd's and good spots. go to a spot, get a good trick, and repeat. puelo is just stroking his own dick, i like the guys skating but its fucking true.
and puelo's fronting like filming at "new spots" is a hard thing to do, but it isn't that difficult. people tend to go to familiar areas; even in small shitty towns niggas usually gather at specific spots.
i dont know what i'd rather see: a dude ollieng into 30 different cellar doors, or a dude doing a bunch of different tricks at famous spots.

"Sure. I mean skateboarding, real skateboarders belong to a club. You get initiated, indoctrinated. You earn your wings. Too many kids these days don't understand skateboarding, it's history, it's origin and meaning. Too many kids learn about it through video games and TV and think they know it and that they are skateboarders. They have no idea that there is an etiquette. I had a kid come up to me the other day who could barely kick turn on this bank we were skating and ask me if I wanted to play skate. I couldn't believe it. And he was serious. That's what kids think skateboarding is. Another way to compete. It's sickening. Partly you have Gino to blame with Nike. It's insanity."
Ha. Your hero agrees with me. Fuck those kids who skate because of x-games/thps and their fuckin' foot locker shoes.

Theyre different types of skating, I respect both.
I just don't care about seeing jordan hoffart search out that bump to gap heath skated in mindfield just to one up him.
I just used that as an example, it doesn't mean I dont think what he did is amazing, or maybe he's heaths buddy, I dont really know.
Some people don't care about that stuff , I do. It's just perspective.
I live in a city thats full of random shit but you would never know it because you only see footage of 4 spots.There are spot seekers out here and that gets me hyped.i just see someone like bob who skates weird stuff, knowing how narrow this step is that he skated on or how bad the crack is before this bump or whatever it is. Stuff you have to think about.Just like most action movies that come out today, all special effects and no plot. I prefer to be stimulated by something that makes me think, not just stunts and shitty ramped slow mo's.

similarly, i enjoy just crusing the streets keeping an eye out for interesting things, i live 20 min outside of toronto and i can wholeheartedly say that simply riding your skateboard downtown can fucking beautiful. But really, puelo seems to think hes che guevera or something you know; like honestly he's not starting a revolution, there are so many skaters - young and old - that enjoy the thrill of a new spot,and actively seek them. there' a large demographic of skaters that can "keep up" with him.
i think older dudes should help inform little groms about skateboarding rather than scoff at their naivety. this begs the question, are we opposed to corporate influence and/or 'sports mentality', or are we selfishly afraid of skateboardings popularity?

Both. Scoff at their naivety, so they don't think its ok to buy shit like Nikes and talk about all the stupid 2 inch high flip tricks they can do are embarassed to do so, and let them know whats cool and how to act. In the end, doing both will make lame kids who just want to be cool quit, and the cool kids will figure out what skating is all about. It preserves the culture that our generation worked hard to create (on the shoulders of previous generations that acted in similar ways). Selfishness and the narcissistic hope that the next generation will be like our generation probably are a big influence in the concept of vibing and the hate directed towards this generation. But do you know how different cities look these days compared to the 90's? Security guards and skatestoppers are common these days, and weren't when I started. You can act like the whole vibing thing was jockish, but the reality of it was that most of the vibing was meant to keep cocky jock types out, or at least make them more modest, and to level headed kids who were just looking for a good time and didn't care about what was cool in. There was no money, there was no glory, there was just a good time to be had, and that's why people did it. The reason people wanted to be pro was so that they could skate more, now the reason people skate more is to be pro, because of all the money. People who don't skate have gotten their hands in it, and their goal is to get as many people to skate as they can, without understanding what an important and holy thing they are just spreading to everybody.
Honestly though, a lot of it is just some "when I was your age" bitter old man shit. It ain't like it used to be. For better or worse, skating culture has changed, and the skateboarding landscape has changed. A kickflip now is as fun as a kickflip then, its not that skating itself is lame, but who doesn't have nostalgia for "the good old days?"

I like how he speaks his mind and doesn't mince words. Gino/Nike call out!
yeah im down for bob, hes one of my favorites to watch, but damn that was a mean gino callout!
-
bobby is overrated
u guys only like him because it makes u seem 'hardcore'
-
I honestly want to punch this clown in his face. You assholes made this nigga actually believe what he's doing is actually worthy of an ounce of praise. He's a fucking faggot that can't do any tricks, so he looks for spots to make up for being shitty at skateboarding. You guys eat that corny shit up, fuck i hate you people.
-
I actually kind of enjoy thinking of him as some bitter weirdo all stressed out about the kids and everything. I would agree that skateboarding could use more assholes. I think its funny. Doesn't take away from his skating at all. I wouldn't want to hang out with the guy or anything but I really hope to one day own that greatest misses video. In times of severe boredom his weird rants on Theories of Atlantis can be pretty funny too.
Other sweet moments:
*claiming his own cover as his favorite slap cover in one of the last print issues
*unleashing fury in that little boxing match in ian reids video
*getting called out regarding his strict spot rules by having somebody mention his 180 into a Cellar door that Jake Rupp originally skated and responding with "none of you would even walk up those steps to look at that thing" or something to that effect.
Dude is a legend

don't get that gino call out...

bobbys pretty adamant about no big corporate companies in skating.

If you were the kid that could barely kickturn on a bank that challenged Puleo to a game of skate, that would be pretty wonderful.
-
That's what little kids do though. Who cares.
-
So, it was you then? Is that why you hate everything east of California?
-
no, but why would someone be mean to a little kids asking to play skate? that's in their nature. What's funny is that now he would never get asked, because kids now only challenge people they perceive as good at skating to games of skate. Naturally, i get challenged all the time.
-
I'm glad he came off as big of a dick in that interview as he is in real life, i've had a couple encounters with him and the dude is a fuckin weirdo, only pro i've ever met who was completely anti social, but i guess thats what happens when you have a cult following like he does people watching and examining your every move. And what he does regarding spot searchingis hard to an extent, but really not that hard considering me and thousands of other skaters do it, and we have actual full time jobs and/or go to school.

.......everyone just shakes their head
-
all puleo does is talk shit. original spots? he just finds the same spot over and over again...
-
i see where hes coming from about searching out spots because to me, the spot is just as important as the trick, if not more. we've all watched vids from various teams all skating the same spots over and over, its boring and its lame.
as a older skater, i don't really put in that much effort when i skate the same spots/park but on the rare occasion that i go street skating and find something new, i'll break myself to get a trick there. no cameras, no filmers, just for my own need and desire to conqueror spot and not let it conqueror me. i'll even try new tricks or tricks i haven't tired in years just because the spot calls for it. to me, skating a new spot is what shows the creativity in someone skating. i just don't see much creativity in one upping someone down the triple set or busting a crooked grind down a 20 stair rail.

I thought COTG was very well-spoken in that comment
-
it really rubs me the wrong way when someone gets called a biter just because they didn't get to the spot first... where's the love in that??
all i hear in it is...
"look man, i found this shit first, you better not try any tricks on it... especially if they are more difficult than what i put down"

puleo was talkin about kids just thinking skateboarding is another competition
"That's what kids think skateboarding is. Another way to compete. It's sickening. Partly you have Gino to blame with Nike. It's insanity."
i definitely understand what you are saying, but what puleo is saying just doesn't make sense. gino is on nike... nike is corp... okay... but that has no bearing on making kids want to go huck themselves for fame, or get that #1 spot at the contest.

You can probably take ur head out of ur butt, because wanting to skate different spots doesn't make you a creative genius. The dudes in videos who "always skate the same spots" are doing it because that's what makes money in their chosen career. You don't think they ever goof off with creative tricks at unseen spots?
I mean some shit is worth hating on, but the naivety of some older posters here is astounding. Like getting mad that certain pros skate predominantly one thing. How would they learn to kill ledges/rails/whatever if they just tried to be well rounded. Maybe they don't care what we think and have more fun than us, skating the same thing every day.
-
or maybe they can kill everything but just seem to get coverage on whats popular... that's where their companies filmers/photog's take them.
take ben hatchell for example, looks like a kid all about them bangers and what not... then you see him at make a wish 2009 doing switch 540 stale's in the bowl.... just because all you see is these dudes getting buck doesn't mean that's all they [want to] skate or are talented at.

who said anything about wanting to skate new spots? i'm just talking about spots and how they make skateboarding look more interesting. i don't care what some pro enjoys about skating, i care about what i enjoy seeing skating. i.e quim cardona ollie through the blue scaffolding(i think rodent shot it).
you said it right there, "thats what makes them money" and thats why some skating is bland to me. thats great its making them money but its putting me to sleep. i just don't see anything interesting about a set of stairs or a handrail. i'm not saying thats all they skate but thats what they're putting out there for me to see.
and i don't care for his use of biters or followers. its one thing to not share the location of a spot, its another thing if someone finds it on their own and gets a trick on it. to call them biters/followers is ridiculous.
-
and pretentious... oh wait... that's already been established 8)
fwiw i still enjoy his skating just as much. just the same as i still enjoy a musicians work, even if they are an asshole/cunt/whateveaaaa

the whole listen team is better at creative spot skating than bobby and the rest of the traffic team also. guy talks a lot of shit for someone who does easy tricks on cellar door spots.
and how's he going to call out corporate influence and then have his name on generic boards in asia?

i can't disagree, theres some truth to that.
from what i've read, he didn't know anything about the generic boards in asia, they just took his name and threw on a board without his knowledge.
-
boobys a good skater, but he's a COMPLETE dick...i like that. i can't hold a conversation with him without wanting to punch him in his cocky fucking mouth, but i could say that about a lot of people. he's good though and i like his rants and crazy-cat-lady antics. skateboarding needs more of this for sure. yeah bob. do you.

I love watching Bobby skate, but didn't this dude wear Cons in one of his video parts?
-
I don't think he was being an asshole in that interview. Asshole is a pretty harsh word, we need more assholes in the skateboard community being assholes to other skaters? That doesn't even make sense, and that is not traditional by any strecth of the imagination in skateboarding.
Skateboarders in high school usually don't get along with the "popular crowd", so I don't agree with skateboarding being a club.
Asshole in skateboarding=elitest industry kook?
Also why would a shop owner be an asshole? Good luck with that.
Usually skateboarders don't join team sports because they don't want to practice or have a coach, they want to get off school go home, pop in a skate video, then go skate. Usually smoke, drink, and get made fun of by cool people. Pretty simple.
-

he wears multiple pairs of Cons in this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbeLJApGSoI
-
I love watching Bobby skate, but didn't this dude wear Cons in one of his video parts?
Yeah, and he openly talks about that in this interview. He points out the difference between randomly wearing shoes that were good to skate without being paid to wear them, and a big corporation throwing money into skateboarding.
i definitely understand what you are saying, but what puleo is saying just doesn't make sense. gino is on nike... nike is corp... okay... but that has no bearing on making kids want to go huck themselves for fame, or get that #1 spot at the contest.
Where have you been if you don't understand this connection? Not only was it discussed at more length in this topic, but has also been talked about ad nauseum in other topics, to the point where people expect me or beer wizard or somebody like that to talk about how with nike and shit in the game it becomes more and more about money and fame and less about just skating, and get annoyed when we do because its already been said so much.
As for Bobby skating the same cellar doors and not being as creative as the entirety of this team or that, I completely disagree. First of all, watch his part in the FTC video. No cellar doors there that I remember, just a bunch of cutty SF spots that people have only just recently begun skating. Puleo did do his own thing and has been creative with the spots he skates. The shit he skates is original, the thing is, its hard to deny that over the last half of this decade everybody has been biting the Puleo/Oyola raw street/cutty spot style. From random kids growing up in Brooklyn to trendy hipster types like Spanky and Jerry Hsu who want to get in on the latest trend. Basically, you can't call him unoriginal just because a whole bunch of people recently copied a style of skating he has been pioneering over the last two decades. Honestly, I feel like THAT is more the source of his bitterness than people skating the exact spot he skates. He's bummed that he had an original thing, and suddenly his originality is being stripped away by a bunch of kids looking to get big by skating the new hip spots.
Oh, he's still an asshole from my experience, but just because you are an asshole doesn't mean you are wrong.
-
Tell me Gipper or anyone else, so all you fucking assholes in skateboarding, you are saying that in the past 40 years skateboarding, there has been more evidence of skateboarders being assholes to each other, i.e. swinging their boards at each other's head like the Portland Security officers compared to skateboarders broing-down with each other and having fun?
edit for grammer: eachother is not a real word, you can't have 2 adjectives together in 1 word, i.e. "any more". Probably should have used one another ;)
-
In Jimmy's opinion there's not much of a difference if you're being paid to wear Nike's or not. When Puleo was wearing those Cons there were probably a lot of guys out there that would probably buy Cons too base on the fact that Puleo was wearing them. Thus giving money to the big corporation. You can site greed for those guys who are getting paid to wear them but Jimmy thinks they are doing what's best for them.

exactly. i love bobby puleo's skating, especially his style, but he acts like his brand of skating (finding really unique spots) is superlative to everyone elses' when it is really just one type of skating. he also acts like he is better at that style of skating then everyone, when as sleazy pointed out, he is certainly not. i know some people don't think it's very cool but i actually like to go to spots and see what i can do at them compared to my friends or other people, even if i am way worse at that spot than other people. it doesn't bum me out when someone does something better than me at a spot cause i have no problem with the fact that there are people that are better at skating certain things than me, it just makes me want to push myself harder. i love skating all spots and learning new tricks for myself, it really doesn't matter to me how many times the trick has been done or skated by other people. and also nobody can deny that it does feel good to do a trick that no one has done on a spot.

The constructive dialogue at theories of atlantis almost ruined this guy for me, so I'm not going to read that interview. That INFMS part is still a favourite.

His FTC days are my favorite too, because he's switched over to becoming a caricature of himself now. Doing mediocre tricks that are only slightly passable because he does them into cutty banks and cellar doors in red hook.
-
I honestly can't believe people are defending this clown. Actually, this is slap, so i can, but i can guarantee that if someone that was actually good at skateboarding ever alluded to them being the best at what they do, they would be crucified to no end.
Bobby puleo is faggotry in it's pure form. I would be willing to bet any amount of money that he was the faggot kid that took his ball home when he didn't get picked. Judging from the way he skates, i can safely safe that he probably never got picked.
-
you always make me laugh but now i'm taking my ball and going home.

"that guy was a kook, he was wearing nikes, took my ball that i spent months shopping for then jocked out and one upped me with my own ball so i left and took my ball so no one else would bite me."

I don't fully understand what you are saying, but think I get your question. Actually, the skateboard community was way closer and tight knit back in the day, but less accepting of outsiders. A security guard or some random shit talking asshole were more likely to taste a truck, and a skater would get way more love from another skater. Once you knew people and showed that you were in it for the love of it and in it for the long haul skaters were actually way closer. Any time you saw a dude who skated at a spot, they were instantly your friend. The kids who would get vibed would be like the kids who we would go to the same school with or something and got their parents to buy them the newest skateboard and cool gear over a weekend and suddenly started trying to be down, when we all knew it was just a trend to them.
Does that at least slightly answer your question?
And artichoke, I get what you are saying, and agree that his skating is not what it used to be. My main point was that its inaccurate to claim he isn't creative with the spots he skates, because in reality, if other people skate the same spots as him, its because they went to a spot or type of spot he skated before they did, not the other way around. Most "creative spot" dudes these days are taking what he and Ricky experimented with, and taking it a step further.
-
Wow, there I was preparing some hefty disquisition and you dudes had already beat me to it. He did come off quite arrogant in parts but as somebody said; skateboarding needs more outspoken opinions and character. Give me Sheffey, Boulala and Pontus any day over some smiley nonsensical clone. At least he has an opinion. Most interviews I read these days are just so boring and they're so afraid to be outspoken.
-
Gipper, mos def understand what you are saying. Would you agree that people in the skateboard industry are more accepting of outsiders and are now being more dick to people with in the skateboard community? i.e. hanging out with celebrities and not skating, compared to skating with the neighborhood skate rats? Thus leading to vibing/giving dirty looks to skaters lower on the food chain so to speak?
There seems to be more of a promotional push on image and lifestyle instead of actually going out and street skating/park skating. Don't you think?

and to add to gipper's sentiment. even lance mountain just said in his most recent interview that he used to kick fools out of his ramp regularly and doesn't even remember who they were (and that dude's nicer than theotis). the bottom line is that, NO, skaters were not cool with you JUST because you carried a board. you were assumed to be a poser until we saw you rip and you proved your worth. and i saw plenty of cats who could do good tricks get vibed like jocks because they just sucked at life, or cried too fucking much, or always got pissed off when we were trying to have fun, etc.
skatings always been that way until recently when the fucking crying toddlers started having nannies in the game. fuck that.
oh and for the record, i fully agree with COTG's last post. he's right. if prod said that shit, he'd get roasted (even though in his case, it might be true) no matter the real sentiment behind it. and bobby is definitely THAT salty ass kid who'd take his shit and leave if he didn't like the game. gotta love it.

Kamltoe, your mentality is so ass-backwards, no one listen to what he just said/wrote.

Ironically, i doubt he'd evenconsider saying he's the best. From what i've seen p-rod's one of the most humble skaters out there.

double standards, we're all full of 'em

Bobby is good in his own ways...thats why he hates on straight bullshit like little kids.
Hes fucking right little kids must get punched sometimes they ruins everything with their faggot ass videogames...what a fucking era of pure shit.
the real thing is Bobby is frustrated about shoes and he drink too much just look at his face he look like hes been to a lost island and drink his own piss to survive.

and to add to gipper's sentiment. even lance mountain just said in his most recent interview that he used to kick fools out of his ramp regularly and doesn't even remember who they were (and that dude's nicer than theotis). the bottom line is that, NO, skaters were not cool with you JUST because you carried a board. you were assumed to be a poser until we saw you rip and you proved your worth. and i saw plenty of cats who could do good tricks get vibed like jocks because they just sucked at life, or cried too fucking much, or always got pissed off when we were trying to have fun, etc.
skatings always been that way until recently when the fucking crying toddlers started having nannies in the game. fuck that.
yeah, this is the skating i remember.

I've been getting the kooks so I will re-explain what I meant. I really don't understand the whole "asshole" concept. I don't think these dudes who rip bowls and 1/2 pipes are "assholes". Yes there is an intimidation factor when you're a kid, but you feel that intimidation factor from the parking lot, 25 feet away. It's a weird energy. You get out of your car, and you know what's up. You can feel it from the parking lot, dudes are shredding hard. So right there you know that this ain't the park to do 2 mile per hour nollie backside flips, switch flips, or 2 mile per hour tre flips. You gotta dumb your shit down and do ollies, nollies, 50's, just skate as fast you can and stay out of the way.
So I wouldn't say that park rippers are "assholes". They're usually pretty anti-mainstream, anti- a lot of things so, I don't consider guys like that to be "assholes".
The only thing shitty that happens at a park is when you're shredding around a little ballerina bombs the bank on her Pink Barbie Big Wheel, with her Soccer Dad running behind her on his cell phone making some loud business call.
-
bob's the real deal. I'm always surprised that he has such a large following.
He's the type of guy who should be at the forefront of the brooklyn scene, the way rohan, who's a transplant and not a local, mind you; is in manhattan. if there's one thing that doesn't sit will with skateboarders world wide, its pros who are self-absorbed. obviously bobby knows what he's doing and has been doing it forever, but giving back to the one thing that gave him so much should be higher up on his list of priorities.

Yeah dude, I fuckin hate getting kooked at the skatepark, bro. Makes me want to call 911.

its great hearing how billy keeps on doing shit. he's encroachin' into bob's terf though, building some shit in the burg! if bob shows up there to skate, someone should call his ass out!

he designed that new park next to mccaren pool. its not very good though.

Is puleo puerto-rican?
-
didnt read the interview, his video parts are entertaining.
this faceshot photo looks like fuckin shit. he looks like a horrible alcoholic or junkie. his skin is that nice addict/alcoholic grey. time to check into detox mt man
-
i wont even really bother getting into it, but after reading that interview...give me a break.
blame that fucking interviewer for pandering to him as well.
i find it hilarious that the two of them scoff at the idea of it "not being okay" to ride another companys board or tee. of course you see certain guys doing it now, its not the end of the world, but give me a break. thats just life.
if someones is willing to put food in your mouth, are you really going to disrespect them by repping some gear from someone who theyre in direct competition with?
absolutely ridiculous.

Rohan is indeed a transplant but Puleo is too, albeit from about 15 miles away, still, an out of towner is an out of towner nonetheless.
Anyway, I'm not a fan really but I've seen him do some rad shit in his career like in the Stereo and Mad Circle days.
Also in his defense most of the shit he skates is truly gnar and the reason why he does simple tricks on them is usually because the spots themselves are so fucking heinous and rugged that the only shit people could even do on them is simple shit.
Lately dude looks like Serpico coming down off of a week long bender.
I like how he speaks his mind and shit but to me he always came off on some Napoleon Complex shit.

and to add to gipper's sentiment. even lance mountain just said in his most recent interview that he used to kick fools out of his ramp regularly and doesn't even remember who they were (and that dude's nicer than theotis). the bottom line is that, NO, skaters were not cool with you JUST because you carried a board. you were assumed to be a poser until we saw you rip and you proved your worth. and i saw plenty of cats who could do good tricks get vibed like jocks because they just sucked at life, or cried too fucking much, or always got pissed off when we were trying to have fun, etc.
skatings always been that way until recently when the fucking crying toddlers started having nannies in the game. fuck that.
and it sort of has to be this way.
too many kids pick up a board and automatically think they're down but nothing could be further from the truth. they need to earn my respect as well as the other skaters that have been holding it down. earning that respect isn't necessarily based on someone skills, all they have to do is put in a genuine effort to try and skate and i'll show them love. i have absolutely no love for the guys who show up at the spot and don't skate. i don't make time for them, i don't want to talk to them, i don't want nothing to do with them, skate or go home.
and just because you're good at skating doesn't mean you'll instantly gain everyones respect either. i've met lots of good skaters with the worst attitudes. no one cares how awesome you are because theres nothing awesome about being a dick.
the long and short of it is, no one gets a free pass. everyones gotta earn their stripes.

This is what I meant by assholes.
Ego's are getting too out of control,showing up to a spot you had no input on and acting like you own it.
Burnside has a certain level of fear associated with it,I wish people felt that way about some spots.
Don't roll up to park and instantly start snaking everyone, someone should break it down how shit works.

Yeah right. How about all of the industry hipster dick riders who get respect from everyone even though all they do is talk shit.
And how could you respect Puleo when the guy claims that noone is at his level? Not even P Rod would say that
who is talking about industry hipster dickriders or even puleo? i'm talking about me and how the skaters around me will earn my respect.
i can't speak for everyone but just because someone works in the industry or hes some famous pro doesn't mean i'll show them respect. i don't give a shit about the industry, i don't give a shit about pros and i damn sure don't give a shit about the dick swinging hipster cock boys who want to be down with it. like i said, no one gets a free pass. no one.

The comparison between P.Rod and Bobby is actually pretty interesting. If skating was like it is today when I started skating in the late 80´s then Bobby and Harold Hunter would be household names making real money. In 92, 93, in New York, Bobby and Harold were 2 of the the best skaters in the city. Bobby got hated on at Zoo for being too good (and from jersey). Bobby filmed that 411 "wheels" in three days of skating, just meeting up at the banks and skating around from there w no plan of where he was going or what he would do there.
Yes, 18 years later people can seem like a caricature of their former selves but what will P.Rod be like in 20 years? A lot of people remember Harold as just a class clown, I mean, after he passed someone on here asked if he was "ever good?" but I´ll always remember how amazing he was. I was just watching that Traffic part of Bob´s the other day and in my opinion it´s better than any part P.rod has put out.
But that shit is apples and oranges, let´s talk in 18 years. Will there be a bitter Mike Mo interview in the August 2029 issue of Transworld?
-
paul hit the scene as a hella young gun, he's been in the 'limelight' as a prodigy since the new millenium... 2020 i bet he will be on top of this game still... he'll be in his 30's running things like reynolds does now, so long as no injuries take him out.
Ego's are getting too out of control
what, like puleos?? heheheh
-
what an arrogant fuck, although i do like his skating
-
I was just watching that Traffic part of Bob´s the other day and in my opinion it´s better than any part P.rod has put out.
not that it's relevant but i thought jacks part was way better
-
Puleo is jewish and italian and probably other stuff.
-
Oyola isn't 100% Puerto Rican either.
-
fuck it ive always been more of an oyala fan myself.
edit: east coast nights: the ballad of ricky and bobby?
-
For sure P Rod´s stuff is harder. I just really liked Bobby´s Traffic part better. I think Bobby´s shit takes more thought and creativity. P Rod is an amazing skater, in person his board control is insane. Like I said, it´s apples and oranges;
I like P Rods sw tre down the Santa Monica triple set-not into the fact that there was a roll in there.
I loved Bobbys part-would have liked to see more parts more frequently.
East coast-west coast doesn´t mean anything. COTG would love skating in NY, everyone does.

This is total little kid mentality about skateboarding. What makes you think the people skating give a shit if you respect them or not? If someone shows up to a spot and watches people skate, who gives a fuck? Does it really bother you that much? If they compliment you on a trick, are you going to look at them with your nose up in the air like a douche bag? It's just another form of regular elitism for losers with insecurity issues who think because they are good at skateboarding, they are totally cool dudes.
People who complain about kids getting into skateboarding through the x-games or video games are retards. No one riding a skateboard today invented the fucking thing and shouldn't think they are entitled to be a snob because they were born 10 or 20 years before this generation. Yeah, maybe those things brought a shit storm of people who dipped their head into skateboarding for a little bit and got out but there are plenty of people who actually appreciate skateboarding who have those roots.

Good to see his Wheels of Fortune again, he's entitled to his opinions like anyone else in skateboarding, it's only an interview anyway -
glad he's still skating...
-
bob was cool as shit when i used to run into him like 10 years ago; he lived with (not like boyfriend/girlfriend, in the sense of like if one lives in manhattan one usually has 4 or 5 roomates) this girl i knew from college. this was right when he was getting on infamous though. it's funny cause he thought he was mad old for skating and he was like 23.
as far as the whole spot thing, it is what is; once a spot is out there in the universe you don't really have much control over it. i mean, should Dill have included a footnote or some shit in his part? or paid bob a residual for each copy of MF sold? If one finds a cool spot that a bunch of dudes end up skating and having fun/filming at, that's sick, you just contributed something, no reason to be salty...

yes! his is the fucking source of the problem with skateboarding and music today. too many people skipping steps. you used to have to make some sort of come up and it was never easy, and that has nothing to do with being pro or anything like that. that is just to get into skateboarding as a member of the community. too much dick sucking.

What are the steps of skateboarding?
How old are you? I've been skating for 10 years and following skateboarding for 13 (started reading magazines before I ever skated). I'm not some kid who just started skating 3 days ago. I don't live in bum fuck nowhere, I live in California which might as well be the skate capital of the world in terms of how many skaters are around here and spots. I never got why people thought it was cool to have a shitty attitude towards people who are just starting out or aren't really deep into skateboarding. You two seem like you care too much about your image or what people think about you. I don't give a shit about what someone else is doing or their attitude towards me when I'm skateboarding. Have fun and shut the fuck up.

Have fun and shut the fuck up.
excellent quote to end the decade with . .
-
yes he does come across as a major dick
but i think skateboarding needs someone who speaks there mind,i mean properly speaks their mind,and doesn't censor their views just because they may be controversial
i still back his skating though,definetly one of my favourites
-
so if someone doesn't have controversial viewpoints on things (that they don't need to censor), they're not speaking their mind properly?
karl watson speaks his mind too ya know

you are a fucking clownshoe
guess what sucker
i been skating 11 years and i dont give a fuck where you fucking live i am just as ill as any other cat in this b.i.
it is obvious i am cool because i never came here fake once to yall and yall always fronting on me with shit
i gotta spell shit out for everyone on real
here they are:
1. first saw fulfill the dream, saw hip hop and skating, realized that was what i wanted to do
2. saved up enough to get a board with help from my pops cause i was only 11 or 12.
3. skated in front of my house til i was good enough to at least ollie, kickflip, and fs 5050
4. skated street a few blocks from my house for awhile til i got a bit better
5. skated the local park when it wasnt busy til i got a bit better
6. high school came, took the bus to a bigger city to skate street with older dudes
7. 5050d a hubba that none of the older dudes would skate and got my first photo
8. now was accepted into older gods crew, and they were old enough to drive so we drove to better spots
9. skated toronto
10. then made a video part

that is a proper come up no dick riding or nothing just illness. you should also keep in mind that skating in ontario in 1998 was still really small, just a few shops and not that many people doing it. it was hard for us to even get videos in my area so for me to 5050 a hubba soudns really stupid and easy and something every kid can do nowadays but at the time we had only seen like the way older insane guys skating shit like that. it has nothing to do with how good you are or anything like that its a respect thing you showed you were cool and dedicated and thats what it comes down to.

and to add to gipper's sentiment. even lance mountain just said in his most recent interview that he used to kick fools out of his ramp regularly and doesn't even remember who they were (and that dude's nicer than theotis). the bottom line is that, NO, skaters were not cool with you JUST because you carried a board. you were assumed to be a poser until we saw you rip and you proved your worth. and i saw plenty of cats who could do good tricks get vibed like jocks because they just sucked at life, or cried too fucking much, or always got pissed off when we were trying to have fun, etc.
skatings always been that way until recently when the fucking crying toddlers started having nannies in the game. fuck that.
and it sort of has to be this way.
too many kids pick up a board and automatically think they're down but nothing could be further from the truth. they need to earn my respect as well as the other skaters that have been holding it down. earning that respect isn't necessarily based on someone skills, all they have to do is put in a genuine effort to try and skate and i'll show them love. i have absolutely no love for the guys who show up at the spot and don't skate. i don't make time for them, i don't want to talk to them, i don't want nothing to do with them, skate or go home.
and just because you're good at skating doesn't mean you'll instantly gain everyones respect either. i've met lots of good skaters with the worst attitudes. no one cares how awesome you are because theres nothing awesome about being a dick.
the long and short of it is, no one gets a free pass. everyones gotta earn their stripes.
This is total little kid mentality about skateboarding. What makes you think the people skating give a shit if you respect them or not? If someone shows up to a spot and watches people skate, who gives a fuck? Does it really bother you that much? If they compliment you on a trick, are you going to look at them with your nose up in the air like a douche bag? It's just another form of regular elitism for losers with insecurity issues who think because they are good at skateboarding, they are totally cool dudes.
People who complain about kids getting into skateboarding through the x-games or video games are retards. No one riding a skateboard today invented the fucking thing and shouldn't think they are entitled to be a snob because they were born 10 or 20 years before this generation. Yeah, maybe those things brought a shit storm of people who dipped their head into skateboarding for a little bit and got out but there are plenty of people who actually appreciate skateboarding who have those roots.
go skate more and travel and skate some more and meet real skaters and it'll all become clear to you. until then, you're gonna actually believe that shit you just wrote. and no one will care either way.

yes! his is the fucking source of the problem with skateboarding and music today. too many people skipping steps. you used to have to make some sort of come up and it was never easy, and that has nothing to do with being pro or anything like that. that is just to get into skateboarding as a member of the community. too much dick sucking.
What are the steps of skateboarding?
How old are you? I've been skating for 10 years and following skateboarding for 13 (started reading magazines before I ever skated). I'm not some kid who just started skating 3 days ago. I don't live in bum fuck nowhere, I live in California which might as well be the skate capital of the world in terms of how many skaters are around here and spots. I never got why people thought it was cool to have a shitty attitude towards people who are just starting out or aren't really deep into skateboarding. You two seem like you care too much about your image or what people think about you. I don't give a shit about what someone else is doing or their attitude towards me when I'm skateboarding. Have fun and shut the fuck up.
you are a fucking clownshoe
guess what sucker
i been skating 11 years and i dont give a fuck where you fucking live i am just as ill as any other cat in this b.i.
it is obvious i am cool because i never came here fake once to yall and yall always fronting on me with shit
i gotta spell shit out for everyone on real
here they are:
1. first saw fulfill the dream, saw hip hop and skating, realized that was what i wanted to do
2. saved up enough to get a board with help from my pops cause i was only 11 or 12.
3. skated in front of my house til i was good enough to at least ollie, kickflip, and fs 5050
4. skated street a few blocks from my house for awhile til i got a bit better
5. skated the local park when it wasnt busy til i got a bit better
6. high school came, took the bus to a bigger city to skate street with older dudes
7. 5050d a hubba that none of the older dudes would skate and got my first photo
8. now was accepted into older gods crew, and they were old enough to drive so we drove to better spots
9. skated toronto
10. then made a video part
11. after that video met some more friends in different cities from internets and stuff cause we were at the same skill level
12. went to college and most of my friends moved away, started skating with younger cats and startin the cycle over again

this sounds like the rob dyrdek movie but its 5050 a hubba instead of tre flip lip.

Sounds like your penis went through your forehead.
But seriously, skateboarding is not the same for everyone and for someone like you or anyone else to try to attach rules to it is ridiculous. Part of the reason why most people like skateboarding is because there are no rules to it and you can do whatever the fuck you want. It's a kind of a generic thing to say but definitely one of cool things about it. Yeah, it's cool that you are dedicated to skateboarding, but it's extremely lame to try to force your image of what a "proper come up" is on other people. Go play football.

Bobby Puleo came to Latvia a long time ago and publicly said that there are no spots here.
-
did he stand on a podium and make an announcement
-
No, I just started or didn't skate that time, didn't see that but I've been told that by many people and read it in a magazine.

probably on a regular old soapbox.

whoa, you're from Latvia? isn't there some really dope plaza, like a Stalin-type place, either there or in Lithuania?

No, Stalin Plaza is in Prague, Czech republic. Many people go there from here tho
I maybe misunderstood your question, were you talking about stalin plaza or a plaza in Vilnius(Lithuania)? It's dope but that place is crowded with people most of the time because people just like to chill there. Actually Puleo was right about Latvia, everyone is saying that there are no spots here, well there are some, but compering to the rest of the Europe...

first off, puleo is a huge faggot, as is anyone defending him. who the fuck cares how someone starts skating or is introduced to it? its a plank of wood with little wheels, it's a toy. grown ass men arguing over a toy.

This forum is dedicated to talking about all aspects of that toy.

he makes a decent point though, if you thoroughly enjoy throwing that skateboard down every day then why you got into it is rather insignificant... love runs deeper than a "first impression", wouldn't you agree?

Puleo took my friends older sister out for a couple dates years ago, later on she said that he was a dick and even made her pay for his dinner. true story. Puleo is a good skater.

For what it's worth I applaud anybody who challenges the consensus of conformity in what is (supposedly) a free thinker's medium.
And while the guy is mildly eccentric he's also honest and forthright. Better that any day than another 'just send over the questions' politician trying to stay on the good side of the snowboarder CEO.

maybe i'm just old fashioned but i usually pay for dinner, especially if i'm the one that asked them out. then again, i've learned not to ask girls out to dinner on a first dates. i discovered a lot of bitches say yes just to get a free meal out of you. i usually just ask them if they want to go out drinks or coffee on first dates, then move onto dinner, movies and shit like that.

i'll swear it on a stack of the holiest bibles, no lie, me and boys picked up some chicks at the mall, we bought the girls some mcdonalds and we all got busy.
her name was shy and she was the first black girl i ever had sex with and certainly not the last. you know what they say, darker the meat sweeter the treat!

haha nice.
i went out with this fat chick a few weeks ago , met her on the internet, she didnt looko fat in the pic, but then i met her and she was fat. so then i was like fuck it ill still get the dinner im hungry, i go to pay for it, she like snatches it out of my hands and will not let me pay for it. i was stoked, so i said "do you want to come to my house after" and then i titty fucked her and she sucked my dick, then i didnt chill with her since. i feel bad though. i just couldnt introduce her to my friends id be embarrased.
side story unrelated -
my friend told me he met this girl online but she lived AN HOUR AWAY. he drove down to her place, knocked on her door, and some fucking dude answered the door. hes like "is girl X here?" hes like "yep, come on in." he goes in , there is 2 fat bitches sitting on a couch, nothing like the pic. he chilled for a few min, awkward as fuck, and then he said "he im gonna go on a timmies run (coffee), anyone want anything:?" they gave him 5 bucks for coffees, he just took the 5 and jetted back to cambridge.
