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.
-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.
