SOMETHING ABOUT A SEA CAPTAIN
05/27/2009
Much like the Steve Zissou character in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, I have lost my best friend. You see, my local skatepark was shut-down due to insurance issues. Sadly, it's virtually the only spot in town that isn't a bust...or with smooth ground for that matter. Matched with the week plus of rain/wind... Skating? Forget it. Finding myself with plenty of "spare" time and some emails lett ... Read More

IT DON'T UPDATE ITSELF
05/19/2009
Ah, yes. The contest post, not really, but I did want to mention the ALL NATIONS SKATE JAM. It seemed like a pretty cool event. The HUSH RIOT represented, as did the Alva Posse. My son Jaxxon was on sensory overload and so stoked to make off with a fresh stick. Johnny Gomez(video), Tyler Franz and Miami were killing the Los Altos slab. A ripper by the name of JAKE won.

RICO? DTP? MOZ? MANMOSA?
04/16/2009
Here we welcome Rico Ramirez to Broketape. Rico rips. Not just at skating, life-hammers as well. We spent a windy Wednesday afternoon at the "Downtown" park. Rico ripped. We then headed on to some brews. Then to see MOZ. Then for more brew,...or what was it Rico? "Manmosas?" Good times were had. Read More

BARNEY'S BACK!
03/12/2009
There hasn't been much going on here. The weather has been hit or miss and I live hours away from the people I generally film with. I have been working on the edit of the next issue ...no promises on when it will be done, but I should be sending the super 8 reels off next week, which is typically one of the last steps. So, soon. Here is the edit I did sometime ago that was supposed to be the first post when the ... Read More

LOST AND FOUND: SF SUPER 8
02/22/2009
As happens with nearly everything in life, things get lost or forgotten in the shuffle. Long faded away in the recesses of time, or in this case, an old shoe box. The story behind this forgotten Super 8 roll, is that it was REALLY old film stock. So old, that there was, as I was told, only one place available to develop and transfer it's contents...in Canada. Needless to say, it was a long and expensive underta ... Read More

CEEBS
02/18/2009
A few weeks ago while filming with the crew at the Cibola High School handrails, we found ourselves in a altercation with first the janitor, then the school's principal. Luckily, Daniel got his line just as she was alerting the police. We fled and took refuge at the skatepark directly adjacent to the school, affectionately dubbed "Ceebs." We had a good session and I was asked to film some stuff. I was tired but ... Read More

LEFTOVER CHILI
02/16/2009
The highlight of working on Broketape in 2008 was making my way to San Francisco to meet up with the LOWCARD crew for the Chili Bowl shindig. The new park is incredible and there was an electric vibe all day. Watching the crop of young rippers like Tyler Mumma, Raven Tershay, and Robbie Russo kill the place was truly thrilling. I reached way back into the fridge for the leftovers and seconds from that day. Enjoy ... Read More
