One of the best styles of all time

He posted one stupid Instagram story like 6 years ago because he found it interesting, then deleted it and made a post being like “I’m sorry guys. That was stupid.”
And people like yourself still bring it up every time he comes up all these years later. Just let it goooo
-
strong contender for the best 4 minutes of my day
-
He takes his pants as seriously as his kickflips, happy to see it.
-
That was wonderful and comfy little phone edit.
Made me miss summer so much. And it just snowed again yesterday so winter will go on for a while.
-
Babe wake up, Brad just posted again.
Cromer = Vintage + Jorts King
-
This was really enjoyable. Hope he puts them out semi regularily.
-
My initial reaction was ‘oh no, don’t be a YouTuber’ but he nailed it. Nice vibe and it rules to see such a good skater self film when it’s usually relegated to dads and insufferable knobs.

Yeah I remember dming him about it when he first posted and he was really open and responsive about the whole thing. Admitting it was stupid and a dangerous story to be re posting. I was bummed at the time as well but after talking to him it was clear he’s not some right wing nut job just somebody who re posted a stupid fake story and regrets it.
-
Really enjoyed this video as well, nice glimpse into his life in Florida.
-
Didn't strike as someone that would have a classic F-150... hell yeah brother
-
Always interesting to see his skating. I wonder if he lives in my neighborhood because that first spot he's hitting is pretty much a non-spot in the sense that I can't imagine someone seeking that out. It's something I'd hit when bored. Just walking distance from my house. Either way, good skating and a nice guy in person.
-
Florida man.
-
Maybe the best dressed skater
-
Love his skating, supreme flick
But I see people remark on his superior fashion style and I’m like what are you guys seeing that I don’t see? He’s literally wearing a tshirt and jeans/jorts
He doesn’t look bad by any means but not anything standout either?
-
He should make more of these. Very very very sick
Interesting how he avoided talking entirely and it was still basically a vlog.
We are in the era of YouTube actually working for skating, dudes finally finding a way to express themselves outside of video parts, without doing pants unboxings or trick tips. It shouldn't be surprising because skaters always have had their way of bending mediums to their will, but also it is surprising because YouTube was so wonky for skating for so long. It's cool to see and very entertaining.

Watched this and the one gonz uploaded yesterday back to back. Nice little time I had.

Yeah, I feel like people are realising it's just a video site you can do what you want with. Hate when people feel like they have to succumb to the 'youtube' style of videos.

pretty much anything he puts out is tasteful, enjoyable and authentic. he'll still be going strong 20 years from now, doing his thing with finesse

7 years old and it still holds up.
Hope he keeps posting as he's got the eyes and ears for these sorta edits.

10/10 for another skater who walks their cat on a leash!
Defo hope he does this regularly!

I’ll come back with a link later but I got one off Amazon that’s pretty sturdy and you wrap it around stuff and fold it up to use as a handle came with a little Bluetooth remote too I think it was like $15 . Nothing amazing but it works for stationary shots just fine and seem to handle the weight of the heavier pro max iPhones just fine

The thought that he is out there right now skating a curb by himself is very soothing somehow.

I love these videos so much, some of the spots he skates look super fun. And some of them look super hard to skate. I also like how he went to the skatepark just to session the weirdest tiny part of it lol

It was so dope and so out of nowhere. Then I noticed the Florida tag and it kinda made more sense.

I remember reading somewhere that a contributing factor to the HUF video being so delayed was because Cromer wanted to edit his part. I thought the editing to his part was really pretentious and he’s kinda given me the ick ever since.

The real question is why is Brad watering Bermuda grass to begin with? Doesn’t it rain at least once a day in Miami? The humidity alone should be enough to keep the grass looking green. Also, is that his A/C unit in the back corner? Why is it so far away from the house? Very strange.

yall gonna find any and every way to hate on cromer. i respect it

I love his YouTube. As mentioned, it is calming and enjoyable. He is a classic skater of our generation. I will say I had trouble watching his Huf part. There were a few parts in that video that were edited in a way that seemed abrupt and weird just to be weird. However I am still a massive fan and will continue to rewatch his many parts with the LSD and NYC parts being my favorites. Hope he stays filming forever.

it's "winter" here and hasn't rained much at all. Rainy season will be here soon though.

Well, the video is a month old so your story checks out. I guess I have a skewed perception of FL because I have mostly visited in the summer and it rains like clockwork every night. Although, there is no way to explain the placement of the A/C unit.

On first watch I didn't love his huf part but I think it's my favorite in the video now. Very fitting with his style. Song choice reminded me of let it flow from his LSD part and connected them for me.
-
I loved the editing of his HUF part. I didn't know he edited it, but that makes sense now with the context of the YouTube videos he's put out since. Very relaxing and slowly paced editing style, has a pretty unique feel.
-
I’m a Cromer fan, and return to his parts regularly. LSD is a good one, Outliers part was solid too, plus the huf NY ones, and I liked the new Huf one. He’s dipping into YouTube in a way that’s different than most of the other skaters, which is cool to me.

Why shouldn’t a skater be in charge of how they’re presented so long as it fits in with the vibe of the rest of the video (which it did)

He also posted a Japanese shoegaze mix. That and all the slipkmot shirts - my guy contains multitudes
-
Most recent video was so good. Relaxing content
-
Content King, i could watch an hour of that, i also kind of want these new one stars now
-
I really hope his channel grows and pays off the effort - he mentions in the videos that it takes a while to do and that these "take away content that could be posted in IG".
The flip from the wall up the stairs seems hard a fuck. Not only due to the speed you need, but because the surface looks all curved and slippery.
-
Fuck he just destroyed that red step and manual pad. So sick seeing him do multiple tricks at a spot. Really gives scope to how good he is.
-
These are my new "primitive technology" type videos to watch before bed. So satisfying.
-
I think that if I could skate like anyone in the world, he would be up there in my top three.
-
I’ve always been pretty meh on Cromer and any most footage from Florida but these are awesome. It’s like a day in the life but without the corny narrative…….
-
I imagine it ain't easy to do entertaining videos without any talking. Just let the visuals speak for itself. Much respect, dude is awesome. Been a fan since his introduction to Krooked clip back then.

I think you have to be a skaters skater AND be known to casuals to get a Cons shoe. Louie and Alexis fit both, but Cromer is just the first

Cromer has a skill at being invisible, so i'm stoked he's doing these as he needs to be seen and given his shine. Give the cunt a shoe, all that shit. If it takes being a youtuber in 2024 to get your due, then so be it. He's doing it right.

It sucks && is taking up that real estate in your brain…..but is perhaps enhancing your connection to every skater you enjoy….
I’ve enjoyed his YouTube stuff more than any part he’s ever done…..the exact opposite of Asta….

Yeah i decided i wasnt gonna hate on the part without watching it. but really all it did was lead me back here. Was conflicted about even mentioning him. back to cromer, lol. Dude shreds.

I always fucked with his Outliers part
But the solo edits get me itching to skate like no other, currently

Is there a consensus on his definitive best part ?
Huf Forever part, for me. The editing was so good. Fits and crusty Florida spots. Sick song, too.

Half Moon is definitely my favorite from Cromer. Like the east coast skating and I feel like it’s peak ultra stylish skating with super low-energy vibes.

Exactly! I hope so. No idea, hopefully, he's a delight to watch. Even a part of all his solo-filmed clips would be rad!

I love his Solo mag "Show Your Roll" remix they did a couple of years ago. Always gets me hyped to skate! Dude makes denim shorts and ankle socks look stylish... Legend!

dig that last one, really nice. I would love to find that little weird speedbump though he does the blunts on. Seems like that would be a fun thing.

If I remember correctly from nine clubs constant yammering you need 500 subscribers and a few thousand watch hours to start monetizing . If he keeps it up and gets lucky with algorithm push though he’s fine . I think now the secret is to do shorts to hit the algorithm but idk how well his content translates to that format. He’s pretty deliberate in his editing an has great b-roll but the skating might be too “chill” to translate into short form hyper cuts of the full video.

These are so sick. This is what I would have wanted from, let's say, Rick Howard when people were dying to see any footage from him post Fully Flared.

if terrence malick made short youtube skate edits this is what they'd look like
unbelievable skill though I never really gravitated towards brad cromer's skating before but watching his youtube videos makes me like him way more
same with mark suciu i never cared about his skating but someone on youtube posted a compilation of all his ig story clips and for some reason when his skating was presented that way it was more compelling of a watch for me
maybe it's the social media brain rot

@somedudefromnj most definitely. Thank you for mentioning it because otherwise it would not have been on my radar. I didn’t realize Brad’s 36. It makes sense. Would have guessed he’d be around 34ish I guess if I really had to think about it and that would still seem a bit older. NOT THAT 34 OR 36 ARE OLD… I guess I’m just saying that I’m impressed with how consistent he’s been over the years and how he well he’s still able to skate.

I remember being young and when Cromer was on my radar after Krooked Gnaughty I knew I was not getting sponsored (not that I ever had a chance). The funny thing is that I thought I was older than him at the time

semi related - i've had his all white chucks twice. they're so sick aesthetically, but the sole always comes separated like virtually every chuck skate shoe I've ever owned. Polar ones were fucking lemons! Moth to the flame.
i've kept my GX Purcells in pretty stellar condition. Date night jawns. That's is all.

I think it’s cause YouTube in skating til recently has been corny and IG became a job and not just fun like it was for pros a decade ago. Social media fucked up the industry. Especially for piles since we can tell their a pile now and not 3 years after their last part like it was till 2014

The execution of the impossible + 360 flip, impossible + 360 flip, impossible + 360 flip was magical.
Brad Cromer’s 360 flips remind me of Arto Saari’s.

I was wondering why all the comments were talking about him getting ripped off.
(https://i.postimg.cc/QdHG7CF1/IMG-8908.jpg)
I’m pretty certain I’ve seen Brad’s editing style used on outdoor channels as well as in other niches. Is that not allowed for anyone else? Ryan Lay being the obvious culprit here is getting a ton of flak in the comment section.
I’m all for skateboarding being represented this way on YouTube as opposed to what existed prior. Kinda wack to be bummed on someone taking inspiration from your edits seeing as how most skate media has looked so similar in videos over the years
-
Brad is one of my favorite skaters and I love his edits, but I was making similar edits to his (with weaker skating obviously) when I was 19 over a decade ago.
-
God damn Cromers life seems pretty damn good.
I can kind of see his frustration with Lay’s edits. It’s not only the solo iPhone cam editing style but Lay’s last one even imitates the same type of b roll. It’s beyond inspiration but at the end of the day it’s low stakes YouTube videos and as a viewer I wish more pros would do these.
-
"he's influenced. he's heavily influenced."
-
I made a couple similar edits after I saw the first one Brad did and he told me he was stoked on it. I’m workin on another one but now I gotta try not to bite too hard lmao fuck
-
I mean yeah Ryan's videos are identical except in AZ and LA. Bike up to the spot, scope it out, wax it, try some shit, land something, cut to b-roll. It's not the most inventive thing but it's pretty copy paste.
-
These style edits always gave me Atlantic Drift vibes, which is why they were so enjoyable. Maybe that's deadass wrong.
Point being, everyone is biting off everyone.

I don't disagree that the editing style is similar but Brad is far from the first person to do this "lifestyle" fly on the wall type edit, and Ryan's stuff is pretty varied, he has videos where he does a lot of talking to the camera and some that are closer to what Brad does. Even if Ryan was "biting", people can interpret that how they will on their own and calling it out only makes Brad look whiny. He seems to have some awareness of this but decided to say these things anyways for some reason which is perplexing. Just do your thing and if you're genuinely the more original "artist", people will know that.

Ryan Lay replied to a Cromer comparison saying he’s actually influenced by Scott Gall for his vids

the difference between ryan and brad is that ryan's hitting his stride and dropping some career-best parts on top of his youtube stuff, meanwhile brad's only real output is these little edits and his huf part had several tricks that were so weak, multiple people on this website could probably do them
-
Yikes. Maybe Manny did have a reason to crash out and throw the cake?
-
Both Lay and Cromer are two of my favorites
but to say Ryan is biting is weird. Half of Lay's first one was him hiking no?
as someone else mentioned Lay has one just talking shoe stuff
would love if they both kept going!
-
Does…Brad Cromer believe he invented skate vlogging?
-
I apologize for always making everything about AO but he would really shine in a self shot fly on the wall style vlog he could edit and release at his own pace. There I said it.

Mom! Brad doesn't like Ryan Lays YouTube videos!

Also come on Brad, chill the fuck out. You're the most try hard dude in Miami with you're head to toe expensive vintage gear even tho you have a paying clothing sponsor. Ryan is far more genuine, entertaining and has more originality than your fake Levi Silvertab persona, get over yourself. Ryan>Cromer all day.

Salty Brad, i mean he should have really shit talked about it with some homies and not bitch about it with all his comentators.
I really enjoy both of them doing their little Videos
Actually boserios last insta post was a similiar video with both of them as a refernce in the caption which was also really dope

I love them both for different reasons, and they also skate completely differently.
BUT brad did call them the "Cockatoo Twins" when talking to Fusilli and it made me question his motivation for the vintage music tees.
like, is it love for the music or is there some clout-chasing involved?
regardless, I won't hold it against his skating at all.

Pretty sure he’s stated that he wears whatever just based on vibes and doesn’t care about what’s actually printed on his clothing.

maybe that is the case.
but, to a point, why would he feel the need to pay such an absurd price for something he doesn't really care about, and then modify it?
must be nice to spend money like that haha.
and at least he looks good in the clothing he chooses.

He def knows the band. He said somewhere that he chose all of his music part

Ya nah Brad Cromer hate will not be tolerated. Kooks going out all around.

ryan lay has had youtube channel and uploaded for many years now
and considering his most recent run of uploads with the silent vlog style, the first one is titled "ode to scott gall" acknowledging that scott gall did it first so cromer is definitely mistaken if he thinks he's being ripped off

I think it’s okay for someone to draw inspiration from you and put out content based on their interests l, sometimes those interests do cross into shared territory and I could see how it would be seen as biting, iono I enjoy both of the channels and thinks there’s enough room for everyone, except John Hill, fuck that guy

Holy moley this is some real baby man / wah wah stuff hahaha.
I like his YouTube channel and I’ve been a big fan of his skating since I first saw his stuff in Krooked’s naughty. I think his skate fl2 part was my most watched part for a good few years. That said, this is sort of embarrassing.
Thank you Brad for inventing selfie iphone footage, posting selfie footage to YouTube, baggy pants, looking at nature, denim shorts, and skating to modest mouse. You did it first! Anyone else doing any of this is biting you, the true original. I appreciate you being brave enough to speak out about the largest social injustice in the world right now lol.
Didnt bum me out on the guy. I’ll still watch the YouTube videos and his parts and stuff. Just an “oooof okay buddy - reel it in” moment.
I skated this park across from the beach in NJ and I filmed some clips one morning and the ocean when I walked the beach after and figured I would make a Brad Cromer inspired video. When I got home I started filming this tree in my front yard and after like 10 seconds I felt like an idiot lol. I went inside, drank champagne, read Eric Ripert’s cookbook and listened to “racks on racks” which I also filmed and made my slightly Brad inspired video.
-
I went inside
Funny because Brad’s always gone inside after being outside. Not saying you’re biting, but if you go inside maybe just give him some credit or don’t be as obvious. I like to do a little shuffle so my neighbors know it’s me and not Brad.

That was part of what made my video Brad Cromer inspired. If I ever meet him I will crouch down so I can tell him face to face it was a homage.

Cromer is a Spanish verb meaning to portray a victim in a manufactured scenario; to crisis-act

You guys turn into mean little girls over nothing.
If a grown man acts like a mean little girl, the only way to communicate back is as a mean little girl. No one can respond back as a grown man or woman because that’s illegal at this point. If I saw a grown man or woman providing mature feedback to a young mean girl, and I could tell they weren’t related, I would have to get involved in some capacity. It’s just not right.
The only way to communicate with an adult having a pointless hissy fit is being an adult having a corresponding hissy fit. Cromer’s law.

This thread is funny. I love Ryan Lay as much as the next guy, but I don’t see how anyone watching his recent vids can see that and not conclude he’s completely biting Brad’s thing. Putting some footage of hiking or whatever hippy shit you’re doing on the side doesn’t change that. Brad has a right to feel some kind of way about it.
-
Damn, I never thought about it but Brad’s got a lot of Puleo in him. What Ryan is doing, according to Cromer, is the digital form of spot raping.

my house with my slappy curb is briefly seen in one of his vids, should I be worried? It's no cellar door though.

Bro Is Acting Like A Dweeb And Getting Treated Like A Dweeb, Its Okay

First, if the only examples of shit talking are two mild screenshots, shit is blown out of proportion.
Second, Brad clearly has an actual talent for cinematography/editing. Automatically makes his edits unique. They're honestly better than a lot of the junior dp reels I see at work.
I say that as a huge fan of Ryan's, but the difference is obvious. Brad doesn't need to be insecure about copies because they don't have the eye.

I made a couple similar edits after I saw the first one Brad did and he told me he was stoked on it. I’m workin on another one but now I gotta try not to bite too hard lmao fuck
@elbarto can you post one of your videos for us to check out?
Here’s one of the older ones, I’m hoping to have two more done tonight. Broke my ribs twice in 3 months so hadn’t really been skating much until the last couple months.
I was fully inspired by Brad’s videos, they made me actually want to go skate which is unfortunately a pretty rare feeling I get from most videos lately. I believe I put the first couple out before Ryan did any lol. I love Ryan’s videos too but you can’t deny the editing/shots plus the timing of him starting to make them was almost directly after Brad started doing his.
https://youtu.be/Gop-bdTnDZY?si=ri7WFAr_pTA0kNcW
Actually fuck it here’s the other one too. I’ll post the new ones hopefully tonight/tomorrow when they’re done. Again, fully inspired by and biting from Cromer but it’s actually getting me outside and falling in love with skating again. I just turned 30 so I’ll take any inspiration I can get lol.

@elbarto so sick! Yeah now I’m remembering the Crad Bromer video you made from awhile back with the halfcab flip manual on that rough, slanted spot. A Pacific Northwest spot maybe?
Jesus though the parking garage one has a mean, unexpected slam on that tiny manual pad. It’s always the tricks you don’t expect to get you that beat you up the worst lol. Great stuff. That garage spot and the whole video is so good! I’m jealous of your home skatepark setup. Also nice bike btw.
Anyways, I like Brad Cromer’s YouTube and I like Ryan Lay’s YouTube. Clearly Cromer was a significant influence on Lay- but nobody owns ideas and they should consider collaborating on something.

It's fine if you don't like what he's doing, but you are making a stupendously dumb argument here. Yes, it "encompasses" cinematagraphy even if you don't think it's pushing the envelope or because it's on an iPhone. "Bad" cinematography is still cinematography no matter what you think of the person behind the lens.

Jerry Hsu published an entire photography book shot entirely on an iPhone. iPhones have been used to shoot Indy movies as well as used in Hollywood productions.

Never said anything against iPhone usage. This isn’t a snobbery thing, its using the correct words. He’s a videographer. He captures moments that are there. He’s not adding anything to the space except himself. If anything, you like his editing abilities
iPhone using directors like Danny Boyle or Steven Soderbergh have DPs/cinematographers who are pre-planning the shots they will create and collaborating with different departments (camera/grips/electric/art) to execute the director’s vision established storyboards/shot list. Being a cinematographer requires a lot of knowledge about a lot of different aspects of motion picture photography. Being a videographer, you’re shooting what’s there on the day in front of you and he does a fine job of that.

cinematographers create shots (using such techniques as the general composition of a scene; the lighting of the set or location; the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, and film stock; the camera angle and movements; and the integration of any special effects) while videographers just capture what’s already there. That’s what he is. You can like how he captures it, but all he’s doing is pointing a camera and hitting record
The dictionary literally uses home movies as an example within its very definition. You're wrong.
Log off Slap for once in your life and read a fucking book if you care so much about "word usage".

First, if the only examples of shit talking are two mild screenshots, shit is blown out of proportion.
Second, Brad clearly has an actual talent for cinematography/editing. Automatically makes his edits unique. They're honestly better than a lot of the junior dp reels I see at work.
I say that as a huge fan of Ryan's, but the difference is obvious. Brad doesn't need to be insecure about copies because they don't have the eye.
Love you Ryan
Placing an iPhone is not cinematography
Definition by Brittanica: cinematography, the art and technology of motion-picture photography. It involves such techniques as the general composition of a scene; the lighting of the set or location; the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, and film stock; the camera angle and movements; and the integration of any special effects.
And you think this in anyway encompasses what he’s doing?
"It involves such techniques as the general composition of a scene; the lighting of the set or location"
It's fine if you don't like what he's doing, but you are making a stupendously dumb argument here. Yes, it "encompasses" cinematagraphy even if you don't think it's pushing the envelope or because it's on an iPhone. "Bad" cinematography is still cinematography no matter what you think of the person behind the lens.

Fan of both Ryan's and Brad's videos, but this is silly. This type of video been around on IG and YT for decades. I can share lots of local homies making similar stuff years ago, way before Brad. And to be honest, if you don't have cash to pay a filmer to follow you around for YouTube (which very few pros do) then there's really only so much variation you can do with a tripod and some b-roll shots. I hope they both keep making videos, and pop up in each others videos soon like Austin did in Elijahs part.

The genre is “slice of life” I believe it started in Japan.

Been enjoying Cromer’s edits a little less after his little rant about copycats. Just sorta ruined the purity of it all lol.

There's something about someone trying so hard to act like they're not trying hard that's just so pretentious and annoying after a while which is totally Cromer's vibe. Then on top of that taking these silly videos so seriously that you have a rant about it, just makes you look even more pretentious. I'm team Lay on this all the way. Cromer can stick his vintage silvertabs and cockatoo shirt up his ass for all I care.

Sneaky move! Took a minute before i realized the second was Ryan Lay. I liked Brad's better but dig that Lay does a bunch of different activities. Dude's got a real nice looking jump shot. Going off recent edits, I want a Lay vs Ishod shoot out at the Bunt Jam.
I know neither invented this format but get that both caused eyebrows to raise. Cromer in the comments wasn't the best but I get why he'd be bummed; he was the first to do it well within this space. Ryan's vids started 6 months ago and he probably named the first one deliberately, as if calling the video an Ode to Scott Gall gives an out on any copy cat accusations. But realistically it isn't a hand on base. I ain't mad, both these dudes are great.
Glad I'm not the only one who's filmed some shots for my own lame version of these. My entire existence is basically B-roll sans A-roll. No egg roll.

Spencer Hamilton should get on this train. Would watch.

Truly. Now his fans feel like they gotta shit on Ryan to appease him and he seems fine to let it happen. I was fine watching both guys and didn't think anything of who did what first. It's not like Brad's views were being taken away by Ryan or anything, he had his own thing going and growing well. Was just completely unnecessary and now is something I think about when I see his videos.

I don’t give two shits about video beef, I want a new Cromer edit and I want it NOW
-
Me too man, I enjoyed both of their channels, why can’t we get along god damnit
-
Can't believe he hasn't put out a new edit. Busy maybe?
Can't DM him in any fashion...
Sent a message to HUF tho

Dude thought he invented the grilled cheese sandwich then got all pissy when someone showed up with a quesadilla.
-
How about watching the dude fold some vintage T’s?

You're so off base it's not even funny. Usually agree with a lot of your takes but idk where you get off this time around.
Maybe if you added more info you would have a leg to stand on...
Grilled cheese > (cheese)quesadilla

Published an essay on Brad's videos to Skate Bylines today which explores their solitude, soundscapes and what they say about parasocial relationships towards professional skateboarders.
It's written by a dude called Finn Anderson who pitched it to me a while back. It was great to work on with him and we spoke to Brad for the piece too.
"Why does Cromer’s ambience and low-impact skating elicit such a reaction? What’s so inspiring about watching Cromer skate flatground alone, without a soundtrack? Why do I get hyped watching him water his lawn?", writes Finn.
"That’s one of the nice things about making these videos. It’s just me, in my truck, with my skate stuff. It’s so simple. Maybe it’s ‘therapeutic’ [to viewers], but it’s therapeutic for me. Maybe that shows naturally," says Cromer.

(Given the 12 page thread, I thought it would be of some interested here. Honoured to have a headline photo shot by Matt Price too ❤️)

It’s frustrating to no end watching people act like Brad Cromer invented the slice of life genre. It’s been around for decades. People upload videos of themselves farming, cooking, working, you name it. It’s relaxing because that’s the point of it.

I don’t think the article was saying that, it pointed out several aspects that made Brads videos good, I agree with you that he didn’t come up with the slice of life style vids, and his rant was pretty wack, but I did enjoy his output and hope he has the drive to make more
