I had a chance to photograph Bob in Brazil couple years ago for Oakley and we couldn’t pull it together
Let’s just say this video galvanizes my regret.
This is some next level shit, Bob.. The intro is humble. The middle is stunning. And gotta say from experience that the helicopter stuff after the 6 min mark is supremely impressive.
This is what it means to be committed.
You?
mesmerizing…. couldn’t look away.
To Daf ^^^^
Why don’t you just keep your mouth shut and enjoy people taking life to a level you will NEVER reach. Enjoy it Daf. Learn to enjoy Life. Absolutely no one but yourself wants to hear negativity.
Incredible. True Talent, True Dedication. Simply Inspiring.
Corey, no need to be that rude. Daf is probably not used to watching skate videos. he gave his feedback politely, you could do the same.
Daf, that kind of long intro is typical for skate/ BMX videos. it’s actually not just an “intro” because people who watch skate and BMX videos actually sit and watch those things too. (yes including the falls). you might not know it, but many of these skate/ BMX videos go for as long as 40 minutes to an hour.
the dramatic fake sky might be a bit cheesy to non-skate video watchers, but that kind of special effects are actually a standing trope in this type of video (just like soap operas will always have fake moms, identical twins raised apart, etc).
I’ve been a fan of Bob Burnquist since 15 years ago, before the YouTube era. would look at his photos in Transworld, etc, and this type of dramatic sky is always present in those magazines. remember, their primary market are 15- 20 year olds and young people love that kind of stuff. (like the dramatic skies in Twilight, etc.)
What a wonderful proof that creativity has no limits. This is extremely inspiring. Thanks!
I am already curious to see Joe McNally’s answer with the out-of-the-box R/C quadcopter π
WOW! That was unbelievably awesome! Looked like so much fun, my eyes were glued! The heli was even grinding the rails…craziness! And the guy skydives off the helicopter…This whole production was epic! I’m impressed! Amazing work
That is awesome creativity.
