Pt.2 – Tyler Bamdas – Behind The Loops Ep. 1

As I mentioned in part 1, Tyler came through with a handful of loops, so it was only right to split into 2 parts, and give each clip the attention it deserves. Here they are, watch em & read about em!

“Aragon! This one ended up going down on the second trip back there. I’m pretty sure he went the first time with this trick in mind and was doing krooks for a while before trying to flick in. After a little bit of trying the actual trick the cops ended up being called and we packed up. Will and I both knew that it could easily go down, so we went back about 2 weeks later to try it again. I was filming fisheye, my friend Luke was long lense, and the homie Spitzer was shooting the photo. Will battled it for a while this day. He would grind all the way and then hop off or it just wouldn’t lock in. Eventually, that right one just came and he rolled away perfectly. Everyone was so stoked. I’m pretty sure Julian picked him up and was carrying him around the school yard haha. Beers were cracked following the session and it was back to the house from there to upload the footage. Filming fisheye on that hubba through the VX was a crazy feeling, knowing the history behind that spot. Extremely memorable day that I’ll never forget.”

Tyler Bamdas – Behind The Loops – Ep.1

Behind The Loops is our newest series, the idea is simple; give filmers some shine by having them choose some clips they have filmed, loop those clips, and have them share a backstory from these sessions.

To launch this series we collaborated with Tyler Bamdas, who we became familiar with from his incredible video “Variety Vol. 2“, which we have mentioned before, as well as made loops from. Thankfully, Tyler was down to be the test run of “Behind The Loops”, and just as we expected, he came through with amazing clips, and intriguing stories for each and every one.

Without further adieu, here’s Tyler’s picks!

“We were trying to get a clip on this kinked rail at the same school but ended up cruising around and seeing what the school had to offer. We stumbled across this spot and ended up filming a line there first. It was just something unique and pretty different compared to your average stair set. He did a front 180 down switch 180 off to start and just went from there. I think he mentioned kickflip at first and then quickly switched up to 360 flip. Dodging the pole is crazy because where you land on the block is super narrow. Also how his arms were extending when he popped was crazy to watch. Every try it seemed like he was going to smack the fuck out the pole. After an hour or so it went down and couldn’t have been more perfect. All the boys were there for that one also which made it rad.”

What’s Loopin’ 4/15 🌀

During all this time of being inside, I’ve been able to watch lots of skating, and make loops from different videos all week.

Earlier in the week I rewatched “Variety’s Vol. 2” Video, a homie video by Tyler Bamdas. This is a really rad video, with a cool mix of skaters, and plenty of gnarly rail tricks. Here’s a couple loops I made from this video –
