Canadian Broadcasting Company.
Bobby filmed an entire video part at the plaza next to the CBC's office building in downtown Toronto. He spent the fall of 2024 with videographer Tomas Morrison going back to the plaza enough times until he was probably sick of the place. I believe he said it wasn't really one of his favorite spots and wanted to see what he could do there over time. BOBCBC is an arty middle ground between a traditional video part and a raw files dump. You get to see the process Bobby uses for landing tricks and putting together lines, along with all the frustration that goes into said process. Barret Avner's experimental score keeps the video moving along. It's a good soundtrack to break up the repetition of the tricks and broken boards. I like how they included bits of weather data throughout the project. I listen to the CBC radio station that Bobby is skating in front of so there's some kind of odd connection for me to the part.
The sequence was documented by Mike Blabac.
