AND THE LIVING IS EASY
06/23/2009
Summertime is upon us and so far is looking real tasty. We've been sussing-out new spots and parks. We've logged the first clips for the new issue. And best of all, we have new equipment driving the pixels straight to your sun-burnt face. Get ready 'cause things should start bubblin' 'round here. I head to Los Angeles on Saturday ... full report to follow. And, in response to the news of Taos skatepark being shu ... Read More

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.

GET WEIRD!

Spring is kickin' and I for one feel like getting weird. Who's in? Whatever. Doesn't matter as long as your enjoying it right? We have the new issue underway with a long weekend ahead, so on with the weird. Welcome, Bruce Collins (sp?), a bare tree, a random on COPS getting busted with an eighth of chronic, and Randy Randall. Score: "Air War" Crystal Castles. Read More

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

SKATE ROCK MOSH PIT
03/16/2009
Super-fun times Saturday night as Albuquerque played host to the Altamont tour and the skate-rock stylings of The Goat, and Broketape fave, NO AGE. In true skate-rat form, Johnny and I skated through the downtown streets to the show. Fun. The Tum Yeto fellas were also in town, so we had skate stars, elite members of the skate paparazzi, locals and random hipsters all mingling loosely together. Beers appeared out ... 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
