[almostsk8er33]

how do professional filmers film like when the skaters are moving fast, how do the filmers keep up to be right beside them??

[Galadar]

they roll on thier own skateboards.

Soft Wheels

[Trippy_Filmer]

filming decks... generally longer with larger softer wheels.

how to make a filmer board,
step one
goto
www.pacheapskates.com (only cause the owner will order you whatever size deck you want and will probably hook it up on filmer boards)
Step two
go to the deck part.
click on blanks or traffic,
find a board thats 8.25 or larger.(the larger the board means more control, BUT you may not have any control at all, this is because you wont be used to a large deck.)
Step 3
Buy indy trucks the large ones theyre like 9. something, i forget the exact measurements
step 4
buy some risers. or 2 packs of them and the longest hardware possible.
step 5
buy bones reds or the ones that are black(haha i forget the name)
step 6
buy the BIGGEST WHEELS
i would recommend blankdecks for this one just because they sell longboard wheels that are 70durometer. which is soft as hell. and they are large.
buy some grip, only grip that fits an 8.25 that i know of is black magic.
set it up and just cruise to make the bearings worn in abit, and to gain control of the board.

but when pushing how do they not shake the camera?
skill...lol..nah
Actually, a good cameraman can push while moving the camera up and down to compensate for the body's movement. I used to be able to do it, but I haven't filmed skating for years now, and dunno if I can do it anymore.

Practice practice practice. thats how you do it.
