I'll never understand. Atleast the music was good.

this. most of those buildings don't even have basements

Bobby said he got boxes of those shoes after he quit,and it wouldn't be too far fetched for him to bug those guys for free shoes when he needed them.
They still made that model until very recently.
I enjoyed his simplistic approach.

ha i used to walk by that weird one at the 2:05 mark everyday, always wanted to do a wallride off it, never thought to ollie into it like that.

It is like he has almost become a parody of himself.
-
Yeah, he must be trying to make a statement with the spot selection, which makes it come across as a parody. Some people have signature tricks, I guess he has made cellar doors his signature spot. But seriously, 2013 has been so unexpected, now I am sure Poppalardo will come out with a part this year. Now I need to figure out how to make a portable cellar door...
-
Bobby's a G. feelin that switch back tiggles.. wonder if this was supposed to drop today it was out low key for about a week..
-
YES, THANK YOU!!!!
And yes he's a lunatic, but he's also one of the most unique skaters of all time

needs more cellar doors

Only skates at night cuz this fool definitely has a day job

I think you were taking Busey too literally.
It's not a bad idea at all though...

That was fucking dope.
Looks he's still skating a 7.5 and 50s which is fucking dope also.

I like gritty NYC cellar door spots as much as the next man, but c'mon now.

Quick feet and gritty spots. I enjoyed that.

The cellar door action was a bit overdone, but since he pioneered that shit, you can't really hate. The bandwagon jumpers deserve it though.
Most impressive thing, however, is that he is in his 4th decade of life and still somehow skates the most gritty and rough spots effortlessly.

Hahah, I know Busey was joking, but within that joke lies a brilliant idea. Just thinking of it at my park makes every spot brand new, not to mention the potential everywhere else. Of course if it doesn't make that loud rattling noise that makes you feel the pull on the wheels just from the sound, it doesn't count.

How did that cellar door end up at the end of skatepark flatbar?
Edit: Every time I see a new part from a guy like this I worry it will be their last. Someone in here said he is over 40. Is that true?
Loved everything about that.

That cellar door spine kickflip was fucking rad, and the front blunt fakie wallride thing. Awesome.

These tricks are good and all but they probably wouldnt even score a two in street league.

You're forgiven :-*
...but your worries made me wonder how long we can have Bobby around. It's not like he's busting his knees down stairs and - to me at least - his biggest effort is the way he can watch the streets (and cellar doors, of course). Like the way he skated those back to back banks (grinding up and stuff) made me realize that even how crazy he will get, I need him for my self-education in skating down the streets. He's a one of a kind, and I think more people should remember this when they are pissed at him being a total lunatic - when he's gone it will be like when we lost Amy Winehouse, instead we had Duffy, who had her shit way more together but there was something about Amy Winehouse that she couldn't replace... I'm pretty certain there's something about Puleo we will never be able to find in another skater.

HOLY SHIT! This should have gone to Static...
Considering how thoroughly Puleo's spots from other parts got raped, I think he just gave the TOMs 5-10 years worth of fodder. Dude basically pioneered that type of urban/creative/niche spot style and has been so angrily outspoken about it (that infamous interview) that I would have thought he didn't have another part in him to showcase it. Spot searching at its finest. How do you find that many cellar doors! His style just keeps getting smoother...still fine tuning his spot radar even further(not becoming a parody of himself!). The crazier the better, Puleo has one of the most genuinely unique outlooks/personalities in skateboarding.
This should have been in STATIC IV. I'm house sitting 40 minutes outside a small town for the next two weeks and all I want to do is skate now.

Ollie over the rail off of the curved ledge line was sick, I guess he's still got something

He IS unique. That skating is HIS style, everybody just else tries to bite it. The fact is, even with them biting it, they still aren't doing it right, and he still is. They just skate his spots after he found them and made them realize how to skate them, and he goes on finding those spots and skating them with his own perfect style.
Often imitated, never duplicated. Legend status.

Bobby Puleo is one of the few remaining personalities left in skateboarding that still lives in the shadows, floating through the ether like a ghost or a whisper. There are other skaters who's strange nature and rare appearances left us waiting hungrily for more. But with the advent of blogs, internet video and, the tombstone for all anonymity, Instagram, most of these previously mysterious characters have stepped into the spotlight to finally bow to their adoring fans and collect the sponsorship checks that beckoned them from the shadows like an old lady trying to coax a squirrel over to her park bench. But not Bobby Puleo. No, although he's wearing the same pair of pants from his La Luz part, the guy is definitely an anomaly. But is there a method to his madness?
(http://www.theoriesofatlantis.com/thumbnails/puleo_fsts_water_st_SMALL.jpg)
First off I want to make sure that the filmer/editor who put together and finished this part with Bobby gets his due credit. Joe Bressler, originally from Cleveland, OH, took on the brain-sizzling task of working with Bobby to finish his "Greatest Misses" part, which was what this footage was originally destined for. But the project soon morphed into an independent project, headed by Joe himself, and was going to feature full parts with Bobby, Jerry Mraz and Shawn Powers. Wow! Cue to the eggs in a frying pan scene in that old "this is your brain on drugs" commercial. Rumor has it that, interested in making a come back after years of partying, TV's lovable "Animal" from the Muppets was slated to have last part. Surprisingly, this powder keg of cuddly personalities somehow came to a tragic "controlled demolition" and collapsed upon itself into a pile of smelly, unwashed rubble. Rumor has it that Puleo MIGHT have been the cause of said catastrophe. But in an unconfirmed comment Puleo is rumored to have said that he was "just a patsy". But just when the dust had settled and the HAZMAT suits were packed back into the closet a mysterious Youtube link began circulating early this week and friends sneakily linked each other, as if members of a secret society of cool, thinking that they had somehow been entrusted with the keys to the golden cellar-door. As the link began spreading like the ebola virus, infecting the iphones in the back pockets of every pair of tight-rolled Dickies across the globe the whispered questions of "where did this come from" and "who posted it?" were repeated as often as the "play" button was pushed. Suddenly we collectively had an epiphany, envisioning Bobby sitting in his dungeon alone, fashioning a Youtubing device out of an old Speak & Spell, a found coat hanger and some recycled tin foil like E.T. phoning home, it slowly became apparent that the joke was on us. Bobby had done it again. In an era where skaters with 25 year long careers are marginalized and swept aside by one message board hate-thread, Gollum had crept out of his disgusting cave built out of found-garbage and tricked even the biggest haters into becoming fans once again. The very same people who were hate-blogging about him a couple years back as he launched his global cyber-war against TheoriesofAtlantis, were now enjoying second-hand pride by sharing the "secret" link with their friends. Say what you want about the dude, but he is one of the last skaters left who has maintained that unattainable, ethereal quality that has all but died in skateboarding. And no matter who you are or how much of an asshole you know the dude to be, you know you've been talking about him this week. And trying to find out where his spots are so you can plot it out for your next filming adventure to NYC. Even though you'll pretend you had been skating there for years before, you just hadn't filmed anything you liked yet. But before you get too cozy with your conversion to born-again Puleoism just remember what happened in the past?...and make sure to not let the ring of power slip into his filthy hands again.

Yeah he's not likely to be offered this as an option anytime soon. What I'm trying to get at is some people act as though the idea of a pro current or other, having to work outside of skateboarding is an abstract concept. Still gotta eat, still gotta pay the rent, just because you have at some point made money off skateboarding doesn't grant you retirement money or exclude you from working for a living. Yet people are acting like its a bad thing to skate and work and get paid somehow.

I maybe overstating the obvious, but all this talk of having a day job being the reason for the night footy is funny to me. It's obviously easier to skate a lot of street spots at night due to the bust factor. So whether he has a job or not, my guess is a lot of the reason for night footy is not because of that.....

They had that trajectory on the Berrics, turned Rich Adler pro, had A full softgoods line slated to launch, had regular web clip updates.
About that time Ricky seemed to loose focus and had to start working a regular job and you never heard about Traffic after that.
The softgoods never released and no new board graphics came out.
I'm guessing announcing they're done or only in Japan is just a formality Rick didn't want to address.

one of the lamest dudes in skateboarding. well, he's hardly "in skateboarding" but he's still really, really lame, as a skater and person.
I can see your angle about him as a person, but I can't understand how you think originality in skateboarding is lame. I guess robotic contest jocks are more your stee.
when you try that hard to be original, as a way of making up for a lack of talent, it loses any merit of being original. but really, how is it at all original to skate a bunch of cellar doors? props to him for finding so many cutty spots, but the tricks he did on them were themselves not impressive. this would be cool if it were a "here's some spots our city has to offer" type video, but for a video part showcasing skating talent, no. i'm the type of dude who is heavily influenced by his perception of the skater's personality, so i'm biased. but at the same time i think austyn gillette is pretty lame as a person and he's one of my favorite skaters to watch, because he's actually good (amazing).
and yeah, cool that he works a day job and skates. so do i and every skater i personally know. that's another thing that's only worth noting if the skater is actually good. i'm not at all surprised that he manages to skate at this level while working a day job, especially when he used to be a pro skater.

lol he has a point. But, then again, tricks aren't Bobby's "angle". But it is clearly yours. So much so that you fail to understand the essence of Bobby Puleo.
Bobby doesn't care about "tricks". He doesn't care what tricks are considered cool and he doesn't care what tricks are difficult. He is concerned with the art of the activity, hence his intense focus on style. He is into the urban environment (in and out of skateboarding) and greatly likes fluid smooth natural looking styles. He dislikes anything that becomes trendy. He is a true creative type. His artistic sensibilities pour over into every element of his life. He's not trying to be different. He has to be different. It's like an internal calling. This translates into continually hunting for new spots and skating them in the most graceful manner that he can. Bobby is more Gonz than P-Rod. Obviously those two are apples and oranges.
Additionally, you said "when you try that hard to be original, as a way of making up for a lack of talent, it loses any merit of being original."
If that were the case then Rodney Mullen wasn't original. Clearly, your statement is greatly flawed.
BTW I doubt you or your friends are working full time jobs and filming top quality video parts in your 40's. Being half his age and putting a sloppy clip on YouTube isn't even close to the same thing he is doing.

You complaining about bobby puleo is like going to the #1 steakhouse in the world and complaining there arent enough flavors of ice cream and asking why there isnt any lobster on the menu.
-
Are people still being tricked into thinking his clips aren't "hard"? I remember being that naive when I was younger. As a person whose been to a bunch of spots Bobby has skated, he makes it look easy, not the other way around. Spots are usually incredibly haggard/sketchy to the point they are barely skateable. Thats why youre seeing simpler tricks, those simple tricks are pushing the limits of the spot actually, you just wouldnt know.

You might actually be regular if you think this guy goes through the effort to purchase a portable bmx cellar door to fashion his twisted vision of skate spots. Why is that even coming into question, is it too hard to believe spots setup like this exist?

I feel like if Bobby found out that there's a company making fake cellar doors he might perform some extreme act of violence.

SHEEP. im calling out all the dumb kids that posted something unoriginal in here.
you know who you are and bobby doesnt like dick riders like you, bobby doesnt like anyone.
i wouldve respected this part more if he just released it on vcr and didnt show anyone, releasing a part on youtube so everyone can ride your dick is neither ethereal nor artistic.
the part was pretty good, some of those tricks were hard.

all im gonna say is this part is the shit. a lot of the footy is really old, but still so sick. as for the comment above, this part was originally going to be the last part of a video featuring a shawn powers part and a jerry mraz part, but it fell through. so i believe it was the guy who was making the video who put the part out. also josh stewart filmed most of these clips for anyone wondering.

so where's your part again?
He has photos up in the "post you skating" thread. They're awful. Like 5050's on 4 inch high curbs that drop off 3 stairs.
I also love how in another thread he claimed people who weren't down for Kyle Walker's part probably don't skate, but somehow can't see the amazing skating in Puleo's part because it doesn't fit his jockish definition of "talent" in the art that is skating.
-

Shit, I joked about making fake cellar doors before but I take it back. I don't want to be skating around one day and suddenly Puleo ollies out from around a corner and locks me in a dungeon under one of his many cellar doors. No one would find me.

come on man, you're gonna argue that rodney mullen was making up for a lack of talent? really? and bobby puleo is lame, fuck his angle in skating. he--him specifically and personally, not necessarily people who skate like him--is just overcompensating for not being all that good at skateboarding. why else would he whine about pros skating the spots he finds? i can't believe you dudes are rallying behind him so hard. i've read interviews with the dude, he's a self-important ass, and like i said, personality plays a huge part in my enjoyment of someone's skating.
and i never claimed nor implied that i'm better than bobby puleo at skating, kinda like how i'm not implying i'm a better rapper than drake when i say i think he's lame. at the same time, you guys seem to have painted me as some nonskating dew tour spectator. i was just watching cosmic vomit 2 the other day; i can get behind weird spots and creative approaches to skating when the skating is still impressive. and even then, i'm not a hater--if puleo wasn't a lame person i wouldn't have posted in this thread at all, let alone hated on his skating itself. i don't think his skating is terrible, it just doesn't make up for his ego.

Jersey dudes always seem to be a little troubled or difficult or contrarian. With the exception of Ishod who just an straight up no nonsense killer, they seem to flash bright then find the limelight and attention repellent.
But I can respect the grimeyness, and the attitude, and the scorn that they bring to the equation even if it does seem to get a little self important at times. It's an essential counterpoint to the energy drink and street league/Nike cultures which by their natures whore cor attention and dominate. And is proof that there will always remain spaces between the cogs in the machines that run everything and everyone else.
Also, nocturnal animals. For many reasons beyond the fact that its not as bloody hot.

it's crazy how i say bobby puleo is
one of the lamest dudes in skateboarding.
and people ask me where my footage is. i don't follow the industry outside of skate videos anymore, but he's apparently still pro according to traffic's website. in other words, he's "in skateboarding." i am not, i skate when i'm not busy with/tired from school and work, so it's weird that this argument is even happening. this is for ronald wilson reagan, who said i 5050 down curbs on 3 stairs or something. i'm not that bad.
me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGiOkFxuMxc#ws)
and the slap cliche is that you don't have to be better to criticize someone's skating. old slap pal gipper himself would swear on his life that james brockman is an awful skater, based purely on the fact that brockman's a racist. sure, you guys (ronald wilson reagan, kools, clamy, etc.) will argue that gipper couldn't talk because he can't switch fs 5-0 a circle handrail. and i agree with that. james brockman is not an awful skater, he's actually amazing. and i don't even think gipper skates. but my point is that i'm not alone in finding it impossible to appreciate a lame person's skateboarding.
like i've already said, bobby puleo is not a terrible skateboarder, he's just objectively mediocre for an industry skater. even accounting for his approach to skating, he's nothing special. this time tomorrow had dudes skating like this who were doing tricks that would be amazing anywhere... but i'm getting called a jock by someone who hated on kyle walker's part because he didn't do the best rail/gap tricks he'd ever seen. two sides of the same coin. (except kyle walker isn't a lame person; at the very least he doesn't believe everyone else is undeserving of skating the spots he skates.) you guys enjoyed this because you have the polar opposite opinion of bobby puleo, so you're happy to see any footage from him at all. and with that said, this argument can't possibly go anywhere.
and no, iceman, you didn't point out anything with that example. did rodney mullen not grow up skating in front of cows, teaching himself those tricks because he didn't know what skating looked like? maybe i'm wrong. but how was he not talented? how was he trying too hard to be original? pretty sure he started skating street specifically to fit in.

Gomez you're just digging yourself deeper and deeper. There's nothing you can argue to change mine and I'm guessing the majority of SLAP's opinions on Bobby, especially posting videos of yourself looking like an awkward teenager still trying to figure out how gravity works. In the time it took you to set up for a nollie inward heel on flat, Bobby Puleo could have popped at least 12 consecutive ollies going Mach 3 on ground you couldn't roll across switch. I watched that Kyle Walker part once and I will probably never watch it again. He is ridiculously "good" but in this day and age being "good" at skateboarding does absolutely nothing for me. To my recollection he skates some gaps, he skates some rails, he skated some ledges, and every single spot he skated was probably something that a photographer, filmer, team manager, or tour guide took him to while he was getting by on per diem financed by his sponsors on a mission to satisfy them and secure his place as someone who is an unarguably "good" wooden board athlete. He does tricks that everyone else does well. Maybe someday he'll even be one of the best, but until then he's just another hungry am set out to prove to the world he is "good."
Bobby drops a part out of nowhere with one sponsor that nobody has heard anything about in over a year. He is twice that kids age, has nothing to prove, has little to no financial backing in the world of skateboarding, yet still goes out and finds the most amazing skateable (to him) architecture in his home proximity. The only motivation he has is self driven from the love of the art of skateboarding. He does mostly basic tricks in settings that make those basic tricks hard as fuck yet amazing looking. The guy ollies onto something and practically just bounces off it with another ollie right after. He popularized urban street skating in his prime and continues to take it further simply for the love of the game.
As far as not liking his personality goes, that just makes me love the dude more. The guy is bitter as fuck and I can relate to that a lot more than some smiling idiot with nothing to say for the fact that they are not interesting or scared to speak the truth.

He is twice that kids age, has nothing to prove, has little to no financial backing in the world of skateboarding, yet still goes out and finds the most amazing skateable (to him) architecture in his home proximity. The only motivation he has is self driven from the love of the art of skateboarding. He does mostly basic tricks in settings that make those basic tricks hard as fuck yet amazing looking. The guy ollies onto something and practically just bounces off it with another ollie right after. He popularized urban street skating in his prime and continues to take it further simply for the love of the game.
As far as not liking his personality goes, that just makes me love the dude more. The guy is bitter as fuck and I can relate to that a lot more than some smiling idiot with nothing to say for the fact that they are not interesting or scared to speak the truth.
-
Are people still being tricked into thinking his clips aren't "hard"? I remember being that naive when I was younger. As a person whose been to a bunch of spots Bobby has skated, he makes it look easy, not the other way around. Spots are usually incredibly haggard/sketchy to the point they are barely skateable. Thats why youre seeing simpler tricks, those simple tricks are pushing the limits of the spot actually, you just wouldnt know.
I call them "Puleo spots" because only Puleo can skate them.

man, you didn't even read what i wrote. your argument only makes sense if i ever argued that bobby needs to be skating at a certain level as a 40-year-old, day-job-working pro skater to be appreciated. i said he needs to be skating at a certain level as a lame person to be appreciated. in my opinion, he ain't (that level is really high for me). deal with it. how about you comment on the fact that i mentioned i liked this time tomorrow and cosmic vomit 2? the former especially wasn't a hammers type video, it was right in line with this type of skating.
and just because you repress a true, bitter self in your everyday life, doesn't mean every positive person is just a phony unwilling to "speak the truth." you really wrote those words unironically. amazing. get the fuck outta here with that shit.
i could respond to your points individually with quotes from my posts, but i may as well be trolling to continue arguing a point that no one in this thread wants to hear. besides, in that last post i already said that "this argument can't go anywhere." (you didn't catch that when you were scrolling down, after only watching my video, to further the argument; but trust me, it's in my post.) if you read my post, i don't know how you managed to think that i was trying to change peoples' minds about bobby puleo. since you wish to continue arguing though, just reread my last post and pretend i wrote it after you wrote yours.
on another note, this post is hilarious:
SHEEP. im calling out all the dumb kids that posted something unoriginal in here.
you know who you are and bobby doesnt like dick riders like you, bobby doesnt like anyone.
i wouldve respected this part more if he just released it on vcr and didnt show anyone, releasing a part on youtube so everyone can ride your dick is neither ethereal nor artistic.
the part was pretty good, some of those tricks were hard.

I understand Gomez. It's fine to like and appreciate a Puleo part, but I honestly don't know what kool-aid you guys have been sipping to think that part was amazing. Also Puleo is a terrible person, and I've seen you guys hate on otherwise good parts to spite people that you personally don't like all the fucking time. Why should Puleo get a pass? You guys are acting like Gomez is speaking Chinese, but anyone with a modicum of reading comprehension skills and self awareness should know what the fuck he's talking about. I'm not saying the part was bad, but I am saying stop bullshitting.
And Gomez, I've explained this before and I'll explain it again. That Kyle Walker part wasn't anything special because the type of skating that Kyle Walker does is the exact same shit that every fucking kid is doing. If you're going to do the same type of shit that everyone else is doing, you better do it better than everyone else is doing it, not at the same level as everyone else. Otherwise, by definition, you are mediocre. To be sure, he's not mediocre for the average skater out there, but he is mediocre for ams and pros. That velodrome kickflip was sick though.
Keep the arguments going, though. Slap is becoming interesting again.
-
So why is bobby such a terrible person? People keep saying that on here (like it matters) and it just makes me want to like him more. When you put skill aside, I'd rather watch an asshole's skate part than someone with cookie cutter j-crew smiles and lifestyle shots splattered in between tricks.

I want every argument to be followed with footage of said poster.

thanks for reading what i wrote. and i see where you're coming from on the kyle walker thing. i think he had some mindblowing stuff in there, but like i said in that thread, if you are like me and don't watch every video and web clip that comes out, it's pretty easy to be surprised. i remember when i was subscribed to three skate mags at the same time, i had a much different experience checking an issue out than i do now, when i occasionally wander into a barnes and noble and flip through one. last one i flipped through i was tripping out on most tricks.
but that's why i was saying it's two sides of the same coin -- i wasn't feeling bobby puleo because (he's lame and) i don't think he's anything special compared to other dudes who skate like him; and you weren't feeling kyle walker's part for the same reason. that's not to get into the whole argument of each skater's motivation, and how that makes it more acceptable for them not to be anything special, but i don't personally care about that.

-on josh stewarts site he straight up threw stewart under the bus, being totally unappreciative of josh filming him, saying filmers don't matter, filmers coach skaters too much into what tricks to do or what spots to skate. some of what he says i can agree with, but for him to be a jerk to someone who runs the camera, which to anyone out there who doesn't know, it is really really boring to film someone rather than skate the spot like you want to, is just rude.
-he also makes up rules about how if you find the spot you're the only one allowed to skate it. but there is a loophole if someone has skated first, filmed on it but landed sketchy then it doesn't count. then you're allowed to one up that person because they did it sketchy.
-another rule is you're only allowed to skate spots that you found not one that someone else has found for you, but it's ok for him to go to england, skate spots there that someone found for him and film there because.... because... he's bobby puleo. oh, rightttt.
-another rule is no one is allowed to skate like him because that's unoriginal, and he invented urban skating. which makes the same amount of sense as saying he shouldn't skate the way he does because he didn't invent ollies so he shouldn't do any tricks on film...ever.
harsh personality or not, i like his skating. and i'll rewatch his parts. he's definitely not the type of guy i'd want to to be friends with though, but that kind of stuff doesn't matter anyway, i'm into skateboarding not personalities. theotis might be the nicest guy in the world and i have more respect for him for that, but that doesn't make me watch his part's more than once.
I do wish he was a little bit techier like he used to be. there are only so many ollie's into cellar doors i can watch. throw in a kickflip or 180 once in a while.

and the slap cliche is that you don't have to be better to criticize someone's skating. old slap pal gipper himself would swear on his life that james brockman is an awful skater, based purely on the fact that brockman's a racist. sure, you guys (ronald wilson reagan, kools, clamy, etc.) will argue that gipper couldn't talk because he can't switch fs 5-0 a circle handrail. and i agree with that. james brockman is not an awful skater, he's actually amazing. and i don't even think gipper skates. but my point is that i'm not alone in finding it impossible to appreciate a lame person's skateboarding.
like i've already said, bobby puleo is not a terrible skateboarder, he's just objectively mediocre for an industry skater. even accounting for his approach to skating, he's nothing special. this time tomorrow had dudes skating like this who were doing tricks that would be amazing anywhere... but i'm getting called a jock by someone who hated on kyle walker's part because he didn't do the best rail/gap tricks he'd ever seen. two sides of the same coin. (except kyle walker isn't a lame person; at the very least he doesn't believe everyone else is undeserving of skating the spots he skates.) you guys enjoyed this because you have the polar opposite opinion of bobby puleo, so you're happy to see any footage from him at all. and with that said, this argument can't possibly go anywhere.
and no, iceman, you didn't point out anything with that example. did rodney mullen not grow up skating in front of cows, teaching himself those tricks because he didn't know what skating looked like? maybe i'm wrong. but how was he not talented? how was he trying too hard to be original? pretty sure he started skating street specifically to fit in.
you don't even know bobby, so you cannot make the statement about disliking his skating bc he's an asshole. you cant really call someone you've never met an asshole. honestly my favorite skaters are probably assholes, but skateboarding isnt about being a nice person. saying you dislike someone bc hes an asshole amkes you sound like a pussy. your footy wasnt that bad, but some of the tricks were and your style is pretty lame. like middle schooler level.

weird how you quoted the whole post but responded to maybe one sentence of it, taken out of context... but since you want to shit on my skating for no good reason, let's see some of your footage. matter of fact, let's see some of everyone's footage who called mine into question. i offered my opinion of a pro, without saying i was in any way better than him, and people demanded i prove myself worthy to criticize him. i figured just showing that i actually skate was good enough (since at least one person said i don't). but as it turns out, i am apparently not good enough to dislike bobby puleo's skating. are you guys good enough to dislike my skating? maybe you are. i'm excited to find out.
so yeah, to you, clayton, gipper, clamy, kools, and whoever else argued i wasn't good enough to talk shit on bobby puleo: post your footage here.

You know those "PICK ANY TWO" sayings...for instance:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/33/Project_Triangle.svg/320px-Project_Triangle.svg.png)
Well I think Puleo pretty much has a monopoly: Style, Spot Selection, Trick Selection.
He owns that triangle. His shit is cohesive. It's all subjective, but those who like his parts will agree.
Some skaters let filmers or others dictate any of these things for them, and NEVER EVER get a clue on what's GOOD. It's painful. It also makes what someone like Puleo has done that much better.
I find spot searching and getting lost in urban environments to be one of the greatest side-effects of this activity.

where's that footage though dude? don't be a bitch, post your skating. that clip i posted is almost a year old, so don't feel like you have to get something up-to-date for the thread. whatever photo or video it is that you most certainly have of yourself skating, post it here to be evaluated (harshly). it's only fair.
don't try to dodge it instead with yet another explanation of the man that is bobby puleo. i don't give a shit. i didn't even know he was still pro when i made my first post. that's why i said you didn't read what you quoted; i said i don't like his skating. straight up, i don't find his skating entertaining. but what made me post a comment hating on his part, was that i think he's a lame person. i don't bother posting a negative comment unless i really don't like the dude (you don't understand this because you didn't read the post you quoted, or you aren't very smart). AGAIN, i can appreciate this type of skating, but i don't like bobby puleo, skating or otherwise.
check to see how long i've been registered, and see if it fits your assumption of how long you think i've been skating. nvm, that's irrelevant now, like all of that reply you wrote. let's see some footage!

Hahaha, why are you so emotional over it? Why does anybody need to keep their mouth shut? Is Bobby your best friend, did he save you form a burning house or something?

anyways, you obviously don't know much about who bobby is. it is probably bc you haven't skated long enough to have been around when he was in the industry. bobby is most definitely not in the industry at all. traffic is not in the industry, they have no money, and pay no one. that is bobby's sole sponsor. at one point in time, bobby's brand of skating was appreciated and heralded. but as corporate influence came into skate in the late 2000s, probably when you started, raw east coast skating, which has always been the under-dog style of skating, got washed away, over-looked, and under-appreciated. guys like bobby fell in the wayside. you obviously value handrails and switch tres which shows that bobby's brand of skating is not relevant to you, therefore you can neither appreciate it or accurately judge it. so just keep your mouth shut. k thanks.
Hahaha, why are you so emotional over it? Why does anybody need to keep their mouth shut? Is Bobby your best friend, did he save you form a burning house or something?
YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

Gomez, I liked the footage you posted. But since when do you have to be good at skating to critisize someone? If that were the case, noone on Slap could talk shit on anybody.
I too think Puleo is a very lame person. His skating is ok, my favorite part of his is in "Penal Code", where he had the audacity to skate WELL KNOWN spots in ANOTHER city. Just goes to show what a hypocrite he is.

Gomez.......

You know those "PICK ANY TWO" sayings...for instance:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/33/Project_Triangle.svg/320px-Project_Triangle.svg.png)
Well I think Puleo pretty much has a monopoly: Style, Spot Selection, Trick Selection.
He owns that triangle. His shit is cohesive. It's all subjective, but those who like his parts will agree.
I like his parts but I also think you're talking shit
-
how about you comment on the fact that i mentioned i liked this time tomorrow and cosmic vomit 2? the former especially wasn't a hammers type video, it was right in line with this type of skating.
I'll comment!

Most of your favorite skaters probably have style you enjoy watching and do tricks you find appealing. Some of them are probably taken to spots by filmers/photogs and don't really spot search. I'm not saying Puleo is the only one who finds his own spots (plenty of others do too), but they payoffs are great. It's goddamn refreshing seeing a part filmed mostly on spots you never saw before.

thanks, but i don't what you're talking about because that was exactly my point. i didn't post my footage to prove i could criticize bobby puleo; it would have had the opposite effect. i was proving that i'm not a nonskating dew tour spectator, as gipper claimed, and that i'm not limited to skating curbs down 3 stairs, as gipper claimed (apparently he's not very smart).
but people called my skating into question because of my opinion of a pro's skating, so they must disagree with you and me. they think it matters how good you are when you criticize skating. it's only fair that they post their footage to prove they're good enough to criticize my skating.

you've managed to not really say anything with this post but I agree with the sentiment that it's nice to see footage at spots previously unseen. I can appreciate some bobby footage but theres a certain point when cellar doors and 50-50s become mundane and predictable. Im not sure how anyone can say bobby has the best trick selection when he only ever chooses to do a hand full of them over and over. shit got stale, i'd rather see him mix it up a bit

Like I said it's all subjective (duh). You said you like his parts too, I think you know exactly what I'm getting at.
What makes the part great to watch isn't just what he's doing, but the backdrop.
He's skating a lot of spots where it'd be very difficult and come off less graceful/natural to do more than he does on them.
I'm not defending him as being the most talented skater by any means. But he's really tempered his trick selection in this new part, we know he has abilities and could throw down more variety but he's put together a finely tuned aesthetic for us to like or hate just like ART.
Thanks for reading my vacuous rant.

you lost all credibility when you contradicted yourself. you are a hypocrite. you are saying you dont have to be better to criticize someone's skating, but now you want all persons who criticized your skating to post theirs to see if they are good enough toeven criticize your skating. you are so dumb.
-
Next to fat Wenning jokes and epic photoshop threads, this is the most entertaining Slap has been in a while. Gomez, you need to show up more often.
-
The Puleo hate is out of control. Had the good fortune of skating with him a few times at a shitty park (!) in Brooklyn off 20th st years ago. Not only did he absolutely kill it, he was pretty funny too. His dork tricks on a spine ramp were better than anything most of his haters will ever do. He's put out some incredible parts, and still rips. And yeah everyone else has said it, but go try to skate some of his "spots." Good luck. Some of them you can barely even roll up to.

i'm sorry you are embarrassed. no need to get emotional. you need to better articulate yourself, because you sound like a jackass. i definitely know that you know you are a hypocrite and you also know that you are trying to save you ass by claiming you are misunderstood. maybe its those super tight pants you wear. either way, this is dumb, your skating sucks, and i love bobby puleo. i wanna marry him.

haha it's obvious you're scared to post footage now because you know that if we see that you happen to absolutely suck, or happen to fit any of the specific critiques you gave me, you will look like a clown.
i had no reason to assume i was better than you automatically, but your unwillingness to post footage suggests you suck, or worse, that don't even really skate.
and since you haven't posted any, i'm left to assume and assert that you suck, and that you also (somehow) don't even skate either. so how could you say that i suck at skating? (remind you of you, at all?)
so post your footage. and know that i'm going to judge your footage harshly, as though you call yourself trying to entertain me. (how about this, any deja vu?)
i'll give you credit where/if it's due though. you might be amazing.
-
puleo is a genius. he's the wilhelm reich of skating. it's a fucking shame he delivered me and the wifey burritos the other day. i tipped him extra nice noticing he had dead skin in his beard. good luck w/ yr garbage project, bobby. hope u make a million bux 1 day w/ a display @ moma.

we made this fun little edit one night after drinking a few beers. sorry i don't have serious footy to show you. but when our video comes out i can post it if it really means that much to you.
OFF THE GRID with Garchree (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=wTR3hh_y2bw#)
also, black people, please don't try to fight me over the use of the word nigga in this video. its just a joke. ok? ok.
yeah, gomez's footage crushes yours. but what's more important is that you're not funny, and a white dude from texas using the word "nigga" and calling it a joke is a prime example of why people all around the country hate white guys from texas without ever meeting them. i want to punch you in the skull.
you're a texan. people are going to automatically assume you're a dumb racist jock ass hole, why not prove them wrong?
-
well, you skate. i don't have anything else positive to say about that. that was terrible. i'll leave it at that... i think it would just be mean if i went into detail.
bummer though man, you can only critique in the post you skating thread now (and that's fucked up to do man). it's not likely a new clip will be posted outside of that thread on slap that has skating worse than yours in it. i don't check that thread too often but from my experience you won't likely be able to judge too many dudes in there either. too bad though, it's not like you can just be a hypocrite now. i would respect you for actually posting that knowing you suck... but you must have been trying to entertain me when you posted that, not just prove that you skate, so i gotta let you know how bad your footage is.
it won't be necessary for you to post your "serious" footage. my video was like 70% iphone footage, i'd say it's a fair comparison. but if i've got you all wrong based on this video and you don't struggle with noseslides, for example, then feel free to post your "serious" footage when it's uploaded!
-
hahaha, cant believe you took that seriously. i thought you would though. its just a tipsy mess around edit. no body but you and the dude above you took it seriously. did you notice how well it was filmed tho, you think i'm really that bad rollin with that caliber of a filmer? i definitely have nothing to prove to you, and there is no way you could ever offend me. i just wanted to let you know how seriously i'm taking you. try to have some fun every once in a while yo.

haha i absolutely did NOT take your footage seriously.
nice filmer though...
you fucking dick.
-
you thought i would? i'm seriously starting to wonder about your reading comprehension skills; i'm not even trying to be offensive anymore with that statement. you obviously read the post or you wouldn't have known to post footage, but you somehow didn't understand it beyond that message.
so post your footage. and know that i'm going to judge your footage harshly, as though you call yourself trying to entertain me. (how about this, any deja vu?)
i'll give you credit where/if it's due though. you might be amazing.
if you have nothing to prove to me, you wouldn't have bothered returning to this thread so many times, let alone posted your footage. and no one told you to post that video. you're "not that bad" but have no absolutely no "good" clips on youtube? just a bunch of "tipsy mess around" videos? i don't need to see your serious footage to know that you suck at skating. even drunk i'm not that bad. not a single trick hinted at all that you might actually be pretty good in that whole edit.
but again, it's irrelevant because, again, my video was like 70% iphone footage
and i posted it under no pretense of being good, but you "took it seriously."
and man, you got it all wrong. i'm having the most fun i've had on slap in a long time. i can't believe i really got you to embarrass yourself as you have.
where's the clayton, gipper, clamy, and kools footage though? i know gipper hasn't abandoned this thread, he seems to love long winded arguments like this.
-
wow dude, you are taking yourself way too serious. me and my friends are reading all this laughing our asses off at how fucking smart you think you are.
what does "as though you call yourself trying to entertain me" mean? i've spoken english for 22 years and have never seen grammar such as that. so yeah, i guess my comprehension skills are pretty bad.
no where in this banter have i taken you seriously. if you really think i posted that video thinking it was going to trump your "iphone clips" then you have problems. me and my friends thought it's be funny to put that one up against yours bc obviously it sucks. it is the only video i have on youtube. i'm not going to give you footy we are saving for a video just to prove a point on slap. i'm not desperate. and quit trying to dismiss your footy as plain "iphone shit." you posted that in the midst of an uproar against you. so either you put your best footy up or you did what i did, and had some fun. either way, that you come out a hypocrite. as you've said things against both situations now.
you keep saying what my motives are. you keep putting words in my mouth. i dont know what you are trying to convince yourself of, but here on my end, this is all too funny how sad and desperate you are to be right about something. i mean you even had the nerve to say i didnt skate. wtf would i be doing on slap if i didnt skate? you are dumb dude.
-
haha, did that dankrad idiot focus? Thank you Gomez!
-
What a fucking joke, that was the most repetitive shit ever. Its not hard to fucking find a two stair with a cellar door next to it. Everyone should hop off Bobbys dick because thats the worst shit he has come out with. I know he's getting old but are his eyes completely fixed to just finding cellar doors he can 50 50 into?
-
damn that arguement was so fucking stupid, glad that dude focused over it tho. kinda like game of thrones in here
-
I'd call your posts a tantrum, not an argument. I'll admit, your skating has gotten better since the last time I checked the "post you skating" thread. I've posted my footage as well as a sequence I had on the lowcard site a while ago, but am pretty over putting anything of me on this site considering the photoshopping that has come up, and the fact that a lot of people I know figured out I post on here, which is lame. However, if you dig, you can find it, and it would probably shut you up.
You still have shit taste in skateboarding and basically have the same tastes a non-skating dew tour spectator would have. You like people doing obvious flashy bullshit that's been done a million times before on spots that have been skated a million times before. The fact that you can't appreciate what Puleo brings to the table at all is clear evidence for this.
But yeah, keep ranting and raving.
-
lmao at all the people scared of getting exposed on SLAP nowadays. Gomez ethered that fool in the best way & Gipper is surprisingly bashful about his message board legacy in the context of real life people. yall a gag!
-
I'll be the first to admit my "legacy" is nothing to be proud of with real people. Again, go ahead and search for my shit if you really want to.
-
How the fuck am I supposed to search Ronald Wilson Reagan skateboarding?

How the fuck am I supposed to search Ronald Wilson Reagan skateboarding?

haha bummer that you guys finally resurfaced only to back down. why did you two even bother replying? i'm not searching for shit. i know it didn't work out for the other dude, but in the end he wasn't too afraid to post his footage in this thread.
it's gonna bother me if i don't point out that you can appreciate "flashy" hammers and east coast skating. you are far too narrow-minded to relate, but trust me, it is possible! everyone who hates bobby puleo doesn't automatically hate his whole approach to skating and everyone who does it. i'm surprised you're really running with that argument, not even you could be stupid enough to believe that.
-
You're really fucking stupid Gomez. Are you now trying to say you do appreciate Puleo? I appreciate both, but have seen too many kids to be impressed by the average Street Leaguer in training. You are the one who is saying you don't appreciate what Puleo brings to the table. Again, you're really fucking stupid Gomez.
Oh, and nobody made you post shit when it came to footage, that was your own dumbass insecurity.
-
^ dude clearly said he likes east coast skating but DOESNT like Puleo. Come on Gip you're usually more on point than this.
-
^ thank you!
to gipper: i take back my comment that you aren't stupid enough for something. you really thought i was randomly flipping my whole stance? just outta nowhere? i don't know why you keep trying to convince me that bobby puleo is the only game in town, like you must hate mexican food if you think el pollo loco is shitty.
and uh, no one made me post anything in this thread at all. i put up my footage to make you look like a clown for talking about the footage you supposedly had seen of me (before later claiming that i don't skate at all). basically, you were talking out your ass, and i made this known to everyone who cares about this thread. i think it's perfectly normal that you would be so upset at being called out like that, so i won't comment on how mad you obviously are about it.
but let's all take a step back and lol at gipper trying to flex with his mention of having a sequence on the lowcard site. he was like "hey everyone, i just want you all to know that i'm actually good, but i'm too embarrassed of slap to post my footage." obviously you have something to prove, so post your footage already. i wanna see that back 5-0 on hubba!
-
truth be told i always found that whole "im not gonna post myself skating, but if you wanna search for it, its there" response super lame. thats just weak as hell to me. first off, aint no way ima waste my time tryna figure out where to find that shit, plus, for someone who's infamous for ridiculously long rants, posting a image or video really aint too much to ask. especially when its made a point of the arguement. the way i look at it, if you're even gonna MENTION your footage, photos, etc. you gotta be the one to back it up. Nigga you aint THAT important, aint nobody tryna blind search for some gipper footage. Just saying...I usually look forward to tha Gip go toe to toe with someone on tha boards but Gomez is seriously flaming the fuck outta all y'all & any responses have feeble at best.
-
If you can sum up all his arguments in 1 paragraph, I'll take a crack at it.
-
Gomez is not that bad at skating but It's hard to even get through the shit he is posting in this thread. Like English is his second language. The new Bobby section has been argued about in here at length but I've got to say that I feel thankful that I'm able to enjoy it. The thought of somebody watching a brand new Puleo part and disliking it is weird. I was actually kind of fond of dankragswag or whatever, funny that he focused his account though.
-
haha i could've just let will easley finish that argument for me, he said it better.
If you can sum up all his arguments in 1 paragraph, I'll take a crack at it.
sorry man, there's no argument to be had. well, maybe there is if you don't like to fully read a post before responding to it... or if you think that because i don't appreciate bobby puleo, i could never appreciate a skater like this, for instance:
Jordan Sanchez - Vics Market (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb_B09MLtMc#)
... or if you think that disliking bobby puleo and liking kyle walker is proof that i only appreciate skaters like kyle walker. but i don't automatically assume anyone to be that stupid.

Personally, I love parts like this. It got me hyped.
