One of the best parts of the year IMO. It's seriously getting me psyched to skate. Only minor complaint was that the filming was a bit spasmodic at times, but still excellent overall.

Agree on all fronts.

I wish filmers would understand that moving the camera around a bunch rarely results in "better" footage.

Bobby has a real nice trick selection though, never really know what he's about to whip up.

Post some poorly filmed clips because the filming in this was very good. The last three clips are really the only time his torso is ever cut off and it works because they’re all at the same spot showing you how much board control this fool has. It’s tasteful.

Seriously, Ben is one of the best HD filmers without a doubt.

This part was everything I could've hoped for and more. No hype, just dropped randomly.
One of those dream collaborations between a skater and a filmer you think of in your head and then it actually comes to fruition.

The back tail back 3. Dude cut off like 3/4 of his body. Worst filmed clip in it. Followed by the kickflip front nose to fakie, chopped off his torso for the whole trick. Other than those two the rest was good. Maybe a little too zoomed in on the manuals but that’s more acceptable IMO

That clip is filmed so beautifully. Spot has been hit a ton lately but he hones in on his front foot coming off fully proper for that back 3. It’s filmed that way for that trick specifically and is great.

[Dead to Me]

that switch bs nosegrind up the stair ledge was so proper

That really stood out for me too, perfectly balanced it also

Same here, just nuts.

I’m usually more of a long lens guy but the filming in this one worked for me somehow. Amazing part.

[oyolar]

This serial killer sure can skate.

I didn't like that there are clips of him smiling. I like my BDK to look miserable in his clips

[stephop]

Dudes a beast. Too bad strobeck didn't film it.

[NoComply180]

God damn. This is how you do coolguy skating.

On repeat for sure.

The Ollie to back heel street gap line was heavy.

I didn't think the filming was bad, but there's this pattern that most people seem to be following with their shots.

1. zoom in on face/torso or some rando object
2. pan out at the moment the skater pops to barely show the obstacle
3. pan back into either the face or the shoes or some random shit the second the skater lands. It doesn't have to be a great focal point, it just has to be ZOOMED IN

It feels like the camera is constantly moving around to somehow mimic the skater's movements, instead of focusing on capturing a scene. Sometimes it works out amazing, half of the of the time it results in busy, semi-missed clips.

Props to the filmer Ben for filming this part, I appreciated it.

EDIT

just went back for a rewatch, actually a lot less busy then I remember. Still though, I just want some simple filming. I'm already starting to like cross-locked 50's, don't make me like the Billy Filmy

[Lessfillingtastegreat]

I liked it.  Maybe the frame rate on the slo-mo clips if I’m being supercritical. Otherwise I dig it.

The tricks and the fit were superb.  I liked the editing. Some clips got a little sideways but otherwise taking some risk.   I’m a big fan of getting in front of the subject in lines.

Stand out tricks - cab flip over the bar combo.

The kick flip at the beginning of his combo line in Paris.

[quaintly]

fucking bravo .

[juniormint]

Immaculate technique.

[Mongey]

Awesome part. Rad skating and rad spots. Shame about all the converse.

[Paul Cicero]

Amazing

[Mallie]

We already know our dude can shred, but he amazes me every time with his trick selection. On point, tasteful.

Filming hit the middleground between Strobeckesque sideways zoom overindulgence and great HD filming. Ben is dope. Only complaint would be that trendy slo-mo that's not even slo-mo but 0.1x speed shitfuckery.

Somehow, the sequence that stayed with me the most was back to back clips if front 3 and back 3 over the ledge into the bank. Suhhhh-weet.

[dill8849]

Great skating, horrible editing and horrible filming. Wtf

i liked how you could really see how he placed his back foot on it because i am learning back tails right now and i was kinda wondering how people put their foot when they want to do a trick out of it. i noticed the major problem i always had was my heel would stick into the ledge, so once i started moving my toes off the board and forcing my heel into the pocket more, my slides got a lot better. if you notice, the way he does it he curves his back foot sideways a bit so his toes can grip the pocket so he can pop that bs 360 at the end.

lol i got this this guy confused with Brandon Del Bianco when they were  both little kids . i just knew it was some little kid that had 3 names starting with a B from toronto.

[art hellman]

definitely deserves to take a glory push

It's the front nose on the barrier for me! DAMN that got me hyped! 

What would that be called,  front nose revert the hard way?

That Pretzel is making me thirsty

Very juicy.
Bobby blends well in Paris.

[Curbyourenthusiasm]

Does anyone know what's up with those blackout/white logo pro leathers? He had them on in that quasi tour video also and I've been wondering if we'll ever get a crack at them. Pro leathers are a hot commodity these days

[Nosferatu]

Wow amazing. Anyone who doesn’t love this needs to reevaluate their life.

[35mm]

About the filming, I think the fs pupecki grind at the beginning of the line was pretty botched.

About the rest, what can I say. Bobby + Paris+ Ben Chadourne, incredible combo.

[backside_frontside]

Rewatched at least ten times now.

My criticism of the filming is totally nitpicking. I prefer seeing full frame for the land/roll away and more zoomed in on the approach. Just a personal taste thing. Overall the filming was excellent.

Bobby's tricks are exquisite. The fakie backside nose grind front shuv is such a deceptively hard trick. He finessed that shuv out so good.

I don't understand how he flips his board so well in Chuck Taylors.

The sounds of the manuals at the end were like ASMR

even the switch back nosegrind at the beginning, debobby stays surgical

The back 180 over the bar then full cab flip over the next was crazy.

.insane.

He gets added points for knowing not to wear white socks with black shoes.

My guess is that they're not a part of the Cons skate line, kind of like how the Chuck 70s aren't. I'd keep my eye out on the Converse website because I remember a bunch of different Pro Leathers dropping on there a year or two back.

This part was fucking amazing. Everything from the trick selection, style, filming, spots, were all on point for me. Whoever said that Bobby pops out of his tricks more than most people pop into them is on to something.
