Chris Pullar 2022: The Movie (Chris Pullar)

Chris PullarChris Pullar 2022: The Movie
from Chris Pullar on 10 Feb 2023

I know February is a little tardy for an end-of-year wrap up but I had a good year on skates and had the clips to show for it so figured Id follow up my 2021 Showreel with this cell-animated nod to a cult classic. I was 5 years old in 1986 when The Transformers: The Movie was released and my generation endured the shock of watching Optimus Prime die on the silver screen. The film was a major part of my childhood and the soundtrack and score is absolutely banging and Ive long wanted to pair Lions hair-metal rendition of the cartoon theme with skating.My thanks as always to the many who patiently pointed a camera at the action, and those who went to the effort of transferring me files and whatnot. It was funny to have so many angles of the ender at the 2022 Victorian Rolling Open. That trick kept me awake in the nights leading up the the event – cheers to all that stood around at the end of the evening to let me handle it. A huge shoutout goes to Bayside for sponsoring me for over a decade and supporting the scene in now its 20th year, and to a new sponsor of mine, Illusive Brand, whos killer wheels I spent the last twelve months testing and are now available in the best packaging since the Senate Brand in the 1990s.I hope you get some thrills watching this, as it was a thrilling year for me and Im grateful to all that helped make it so. #aggressivequadskating #brunnyblocks #brunnyhardcore #bontparkstars #bontparkstar #rollerskating #rollerskates #rollerskate #rollerskater #rollerskatingtricks #baysideblades#rollerblading #inlineskating #inlineskates #aggressiveinline #lovethebladers #bladergram #patins #patines #roller #patinar #patiniinlinea #becauseitsfun

Chris Pullar: Roller Skate Open REMIX (Chris Pullar)

Chris PullarChris Pullar: Roller Skate Open REMIX
from Chris Pullar on 6 Dec 2022

SOUND UP or youll miss the vibe. This video is a remix of the tricks that were in my entry for the Roller Skate Open 2022 skatepark edit contest for quad enthusiasts of the trans Tasman region. In the version you see here I have left out one of the tricks from my submission (a halfcab frontside on a downrail), making this video entirely comprised of maneuvers Id not previously done in quads on such obstacles. Entitled Real Life, Ive long wanted to use this Kimbra track for its serious tone and lyrics about finding a process to progress without fear. Roller skating is something I first did when I was quite young and after a thirty year break it has been a thrill to return, with the experience I have from being an longtime inline skater and the plethora of influences within the current quad world, as I explore the possibilities provided by quads that inlines dont have. There are many differences between the two art forms and so many more similarities and I enjoy seeing them take influence from other action sports, as all action sport have done throughout history.Thanks go to my shop sponsor Bayside @baysideblades for the equipment under my feet, and a huge shoutout goes to The Park in Geelong @theparkgeelong for always being so accommodating and maintaining such an exciting world class indoor facility where ramp and street enthusiasts can create and progress. Finally cheers to all the hosts of the live YouTube broadcast on the 26/11/22 for being a part of something that inspired so much skating to go down in such a great annual showcase for the masses.If you like grinding on quads, Brunny Hardcore make the best blocks and trucks and theres nothing it it for me to tell you that, Im letting you know because I care.Cheers to @haydengolder for knowing when to hide behind a ledge during a clip (the final trick). What a guy. #aggressivequadskating #brunnyblocks #brunnyhardcore #bontparkstars #bontparkstar #rollerskating #rollerskates #rollerskate #rollerskater #rollerskatingtricks #baysideblades#patins #patines #roller #patinar #patiniinlinea #becauseitsfun #theparkgeelong #thefewstudios #rso2022r

Chris Pullar – SKATEPHONY (Chris Pullar)

Chris PullarChris Pullar – SKATEPHONY
from Chris Pullar on 26 Jul 2022

Ive always wanted to create a skating edit consisting mainly of slow motion footage. Those familiar with the old Videogroove series of blade films may remember the Visual Aids segments which was traditionally tricks screened in slow-mo paired with a song that set a patient tempo, which was usually my favorite part of the video. Those familiar with Metallicas instrumental Orion from their 1986 album Master Of Puppets might be excited by my use of this symphonic rendition by The Scorched Earth Orchestra. The use of the original as the crescendo to the 2003 skateboard flick, The DC Video, paired with Danny Ways vert capabilities and the introduction to mega ramp riding as we know it, had a profound affect on my appreciation for dramatic music in action sports films. I have fond memories of seeing parts of it performed live by Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela as well as the mighty Tool no less, and I went on to use it 4 years ago in an edit I made of my friend Johnny Jensen showcasing his ability on a vert and mini mega ramp. Following on from my Age: 40 edit which was filmed in 3 warm months ending April 3, 2022, the first clip in Skatephony was shot on April 11 and the most recent was shot on July 16, once again making it 3 months of compiling footage. The former was 40 clips long and the latter is 27, with the only thing slowing the process down being the inclement weather, hence my warm Stay Rolling sweater making regular appearances in this compilation of maneuvers. I didnt go out of my way to film any of this; it was all shot impromptuly whilst out and about with friends with a creative process that was always organic. I will say this though: Id never never quite dealt with cobblestones in this fashion before 2022.I hope you enjoy this exploration in sound, speed, colour and inline and quad skating. My thanks go to my shop sponsor, Bayside, and to the good folk that held a camera which in order of appearance includes Nick Dimos, Casey Kitten, Sam Nicholls, Tim Bradley, Andrew Lewis, Adam Lynch, Zac Hutchings, Daniel Lewis and Adam Davies. #aggressivequadskating #brunnyblocks #brunnyhardcore #bontparkstars #bontparkstar #rollerskating #rollerskates #rollerskate #rollerskater #rollerskatingtricks #baysideblades#rollerblading #inlineskating #inlineskates #aggressiveinline #lovethebladers #bladergram #patins #patines #roller #patinar #patiniinlinea #becauseitsfun

Chris Pullar – Age: 40 (Chris Pullar)

from Chris Pullar on 5 Apr 2022

Ive been a very active skater this year and rightly so, given the warm weather and the fact that I had some catching up to do after being forced to take it easy for a little while when I broke my elbow in November, just before my 40th birthday. After releasing a compilation of 68 clips shot during 2021 crammed into 5 minutes, I found myself with a reasonable amount of decent 2022 footage pretty quickly so here is precisely 3 months worth, shot between January 3rd and April 3rd and beat-matched for 4 minutes. Ive always wanted to pair the band Tool with skating but so far this remix of A Perfect Circles The Outsider is the closest Ive come, though fans of the album Lateralus may recognize the opening sound effect. Well see who will be the first to pick up on the music used over the closing logo. Featuring footage of inline and quad tricks in the streets and skateparks, including quite a bit at my local in Prahran, it wasnt until I was writing this caption that I went through and counted the clips and, through sheer coincidence, this video has exactly 40. Thanks to the filmers; Josh, Callum, SK, Garry, Andy, Zac, Casey, Martin, Brad, Keeks and Khrys, and to Bayside Blades skate shop for supporting the Australian scene for the last 19 years and hooking me up for over a decade. #aggressivequadskating #brunnyblocks #brunnyhardcore #bontparkstars #bontparkstar #rollerskating #rollerskates #rollerskate #rollerskater #rollerskatingtricks #baysideblades#rollerblading #inlineskating #inlineskates #aggressiveinline #lovethebladers #bladergram #patins #patines #roller #patinar #patiniinlinea #becauseitsfun

Chris Pullar 2021 showreel (Chris Pullar)

Chris PullarChris Pullar 2021 showreel
from Chris Pullar on 20 Jan 2022

I’m 40 years old, been skating for over 30 and rolled more last year than I have any other year for the last 20 and am a more capable skater now than I have ever been. My longstanding self-imposed rule is to land at least one trick at each place I go that I haven’t done there before and I’ve been skating so often lately that since the beginning of July every time I had wheels on, even if I didn’t film a trick, I made a habit of getting a clip of my feet everywhere I went to keep track of my adventures. A lot of my maneuvers were posted my social media Story and a bunch ended up in the two videos I submitted for the inline and quad skatepark edit contests I took part in, after my elbow injury derailed my plans, but I finished the year with so much material that I decided to do something I’ve never done: make a big compilation of my footage. I’ve never had a legitimate “section” or profile more than a minute or so long, so this is somewhat of a milestone for me.

My girlfriend Casey has had a massive influence on my skating as far as where, when, how and what I skate in, which is everywhere, frequently, clean and sometimes in quad skates. She holds me accountable for sloppy landings and I am lucky to have her around, and she filmed a bunch of this along with Joe Stuart, Darcy Raine, Callum Cochrane, Paul Kreutzer, Matt Caratelli, Nick Petropoulos, Garry Manfroid, Phil Campbell, Zac Hutchings, Keeks Vaughan, Corey Neil, Hannah Valante, Danni Ducci, Simon Kelly, Josh Clarke, Varun Jani, Khrys Nadstazik, Leeroy Jenkins, Cam Vilnis Lawrence, Trent Phillips, Liv McNamara, George Sarantoulias, Ben Child, Glen Beardmore and Johan at Junction Skatepark YMCA. Many thanks to all of these people.

The audio bites at the start were lifted from hugely influential Videogroove blade films from my teenage years; The Bottom Line (the late street skating legend Bryan Bell saying “Groove one!”), VG6 (long bit about world peace) and VG4 (“Sit back, turn up the volume…), the disclaimer screen was used in VG6 and VG7 and the trumpets from a Gorilla Biscuits record and the Karma To Burn song that I used were both borrowed from the beginning of VG3 as well as the use of the spilt-screen technique. I’ve been wanting to use this track for something for a long time and I was sad to hear that the guitarist Will Mecum died last year; RIP. Big thanks to my filmmaking hero and friend Dave Paine for the videos that inspired and influenced a generation, and thanks to my shop sponsor for over a decade, Bayside Blades, for supporting me and my whole community. I truly hope you get a kick out of this, my 2021 showreel.
