you act like all other videos aren't rail, rail, stairs, ledge line, rail, rail, stairs...

Well this is coming from a guy that prides himself on being unique...
Either way I enjoyed it somewhat, so I'm not making a big deal about it.

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.

The nosegrind revert transfer on the bank to bar to bank and the kickflip at about 2:00 were great.

[tomatofeet]

Well it made me want to go and skate... and I'm not even thirty yet.

[wildbillhiccup]

Only skates at night.... probably because he has a day job.

[GhostofaPosterPast]

Im proud of you guys.

I love how ignorant this statement is. 

[COMMUNITYPACK]

I think my favourite part of this thread is that it doesn't seem like anyone noticed that Bobby is posting in here...

Also: the part was fantastic.

Unexpected, and exactly what all the people being positive about it said.

Timeless. Stylish. Mental. Hairy. Legend. Bellend?

[max power]

can't wait for the cellar door berrics obstacle.

[Snake Eyes]

amazing....

This famous skateboarder once said that of all the obstacles in the American cityscape, of all the endless combinations of tricks and spots in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful.

How small is Bobby? I think I just slipped into a Mini Puleo Land. Ripping though.

Josh Stewart posts the video and comments on both it and the man himself:

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?



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.



Bobby (?) responds: Don't worry Theorizer, I'll keep a tight grip on that ring!

Best,

Bilbo

That ethereal feeling, that's it.

[SodaJerk]

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

You say this as though having a day job is a bad thing. Would you rather see him with an energy drink sponsor or skating Street League?

Yeah, because Puleo is definitely shooting down energy drink and large contest offers left and right.

Surely some cellar door maker must step up. This guy must have just given them 20 years worth of promotion.

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.

The fact that he's still filming rad parts and putting in the time to search out spots despite having a job is what makes him amazing.

[Gomez]

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.
