How they FILM skateboarding for MOVIES 🛹 

Or paint the whole city green and stand on a skateboard so it will look like the whole background is moving.

“Have you ever wondered how they skate in movies?” *They skate.*

bro just made it more complicated

Skating a treadmill whilst skating on a treadmill. I’m in stitches.

Fun fact: in Back to the Future, Michael J Fox already knew how to skateboard because he did it in high school, But for the part where he jumps over Biff’s car they used a stunt man and apparently it was the stuntman’s first day on the job.

standing on a skateboard on a treadmill on a skateboard 💀

easier just to skate tf☠️☠️

The easy fix is: you turn the treadmill upside down and put the actor on a skateboard on the threadmill and that way it looks like he is moving and its actually the earth thats moving, its that easy!

What I like is in mid90s they actually knew how to skate

my dude really painted a treadmill green for this short

This went over the heads of 99% of the comment section, lol.

It’s more dangerous with all of that 😂😂 It’s safer just with the skateboard😂😂

bro this guy genius

Thank u.

In back to the future and like gleaming the cube, the skateboarding was real. Some parts where they would like jump really high was obv fake but the skateboarding and them riding was real because back then they didn’t have like fancy stuff like really good green screens but nowadays they do

nah i’m dying more with this than hitting a pebble going down hill

Or Just Teach Them How to skate

Bro I just lost so many brain cells

Or paint the whole world green then put a video of the actor skating irl

Movie-back to the future btw he knows how to skate

You need to paint the sun green as well, that way everything is a green screen

That treadmill lookin straight 🔥 ngl

as a skateboarder, i can say it would be safer to just use the skateboard. all the other stuff will make it more unstable. if u dont know how to skate, practice. who would have thought that would have helped?🧐

Skateboard isn't t the danger thing.

Half of these comments are literally just r/whoosh

I like how they use back to the future

Max: im 4 Pararell dimension ahead you

Why work Smarter when you can work harder

Your level of satire sir is G.O.A.T 😅

You had me in the first part ngl

"it's that easy"

Just let them fucking skateboard

You forgot the green socks 🤦

This is so fake. You have to paint the earth green so the background moves. Duh 🗿

That green spiderman in the background caught me off guard 😂

Green screens were invented in 1969. People before 1969:

Or just let the actor skate themselves cuz they ain't gonna die

Lmao the guy in the green suit

"It's that easy" 💀

Paint the camera lens green that way you can edit it later

Task failed successfully

That just skateboarding with extra steps

“It’s that easy”

The 3rd one is the ultimate death trap

arrest this man

This is the kind of humor that skaters have

this is like that one thrasher skit “how skate videos are made” its so funny

"It's that easy"

CLEAN! STATIONARY!!🔥🔥🔥

Bro just made it a million times harder than just riding a skateboard 😅

Another Winchumbo classic, right to my playlist

They also don't wear clothes. They wear a green leotard with ping-pong balls for motion tracking and the clothes are added later in post production.

and this is why the rocket power kids are the real OG's , they did all of their own stunts xD xD

This math is not mathing

just paint the man green and edit in a safe one

Michael J Fox knew how to skateboard. Christian Slater learned how to skateboard for "gleaming the cube" because most of the bone brigade was in that movie AND some of them were his stunt doubles. Ben Stiller also actually Skateboarded in Walter Mitty but I think Rodney Mullen was his stunt double for the freestyle scene

I thought this was fax until I saw the RU-vidr

“Treadmill on the skateboard on the skateboard when treadmill is on the skateboard treadmill”💀

Bro's speed is measured in m/m/s

This is the type of guy that would help a car across the road

Why was I listening so intently 😅😆

Always wondered how they do that. Great video 👍

I think you took some libertys on this one 😂

Perfection 😊

That’s how I always imagined it.

I always wondered this

I'm a skateboarder and this triggered me JUST STAND ON IT AND SKATE

The actor knows how to skateboar T_TT_TT_TT_TT_TT_TT_TT_TT_T This dude: just paint the skateboard green and the treadmill green and everything green paint the whole universe green

I have the sudden urge to listen to "almost easy" by Avenged Sevenfold...

Definition of: work harder not smarter.

I work in film. Can confirm.

I've always wondered

"Its that easy" 😂

Deadass just skate

the neighbors are like wtf is this man doing

Wow its really looks like he's skating. The power of VFX

I have a theory on this: If you're on a skateboard on a treadmill on a skateboard, but some green man Is pushing you, then that implies that you're using a skateboard incorrectly! The fix: paint the village/town/city all in green then put a additional layer of green pavement. Then do the method on the video. Then you get a perfect skateboard scene, problem solved! Easy option: *learn to skateboard*

"It's that easy" lol

The definition of… “extra”

The actors push tho

He would be floating

The budget for "Back To The Future" was $19 million; can't afford production delays, and going over budget, because an actor broke their arm from a fall skateboarding.

Or just know how to properly use a skateboard

Bro just use the skateboard. 9999999 IQ

Or there’s the more common method, you get the actor to learn the basics of skateboarding…

So easy and obvious. Genius!

This is the video of all time

Bro, just described how average JavaScript programmer solves a problem.

One time my homie stacked his skateboard on mine then proceeded to ride around on the frankenboard. Thought for sure bro was gonna break a limb

A more common method is to paint the whole street and background green

When the actor already knows how to skate:

I hate it when there is skating in movies and they only show the bottom half of their legs

Holy macaroly minnoli!!❤

When I saw Marty McFly on the hovering skateboard, I wanted one

Or you could just actually ride the skateboard

"Its that easy" 😂😂😂

Welcome to another episode of:'How to make your life harder'

why don't they just offer a skateboarder like 50 bucks and film them skating so it doesn't look horrible

Ohhhhhhh.....now it makes sense! 😂😂😂😂
