I'd agree with you based on that clip but only cause it was filmed really shitty. Cut off his head for almost the whole trick and super shaky. There is potential to film a great clip or a shitty clip so matter what setup your using.

Ah, well it's an opinion kinda thing. I love the artsy take on riding. Like in "This Is United" every banger spot makes you feel the vibe of that spot cause you see it from an altered and creative viewpoint. I think it can make or break an edit. Overusing film burns (or even just using the nowadays), lame B-roll and super duper slowmo is something a lot of HD filmers go through as a phase but I think it passes.
you are a wise man travis, you're ahead of the scooter film game
haha dude, 9 years behind a camera, 2 years in film school and this is my first year working in the film industry, I'm surrounded by camera talk.

Thoughts on Canon GL1/GL2's? I use them at school but I cant really tell if their any good especially for filming scooting.
lol, yeah, they're good
holy shit calm the fuck down, someone will get to you, or just look it up on google, jesus
im not too sure on this, but if your asking about a dolly than you can get the pvc, plywood, and small pieces of angled iron or other material thats strong. then you drill two holes in the center of the outer angled side, get longboard wheels and bolt them(use spacers). so the wheels point in toward each other. do that four times so you have 4, 2 wheeled angled things. then you can put the wheel setups on the pvc and place the plywood on top, then your camera on top of that. thats a way i learned how to make them homemade, and it works okay.

No is the short answer. The balance and bearing system are far too complex to be able to replicate a whole glidecam with PVC. Buy a FlyCam, they are an excellent cheap alternative to a real glidecam
and stop being so impatient.
