Bobby Puleo Traffic Report
Photo by Allen Ying
Individual is the one word that could sum up what Bobby Puleo is. He is not one to jump on any bandwagon, one who will not try the newest “it” thing and will do his best to steer clear of any new trend. A unique person with a unique outlook on skateboarding, Bobby has been skating for over 25 years and has his stake in the skateboarding history books. He continues to look at skating in his own way, a way that is still as original as the beginning days. I’ve known Bobby for almost two decades and always thought he and I were very similar in the way we approached skating. We both started in the jump ramp days but grew into the city way of skating. We both liked to explore our environments, cruising through the city discovering spots that were not obvious to your average skateboarder. He has never wavered from his outspoken views on skateboarding and recently I gave him a ring to get his view of the current state of skating. Just as unorthodox as his views on skating are, we decided to post his interview in an unorthodox manner and release it as our latest Traffic Report. Enjoy what Bobby has to say…
FIRE–the truth from beginning to end.

wow. amazing he buys into his own bullshit.
how can he discredit skateboarders for taking checks from nike, cons etc. when he himself said he would’ve signed with timberland owned i-path if they’d paid him more? and who are these ‘real’ skate shoe companies he’s talking about? can anyone name a skate shoe company that’s fully skater owned without any backers? you are dillusional.
didn’t puleo move to SF to film his FTC part? aren’t you from jersey bobby?
always respected this guys skating, but this interview doesn’t come off as keeping it real. just borderline insane. looking forward to seeing you on hoarders.

Bobby Puleo could be the face of a wikileaks type website where all the secret informations about the skateboard industry would be gathered anonymously.
