There are many exciting things happening in the New Mexico skate scene right about now... the MAG° minute(s?), the HUSH RIOT producing sick boards (with a promo in the works) and sick homegrown videos like Johnny Gomez's HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL. I'm not going to get into part run-downs or comments on editing or any of that shit, in my humble opinion, every part was good and the edit was top-notch. What I do want ... Read More
Total creep, good friend and great photographer, Isaac McKay-Randozzi, has given his web portal a little boob-job. MY DUMB LUCK is the spot, head over and take some clicks around. He also has a blog jawn over at SLAP MAGAZINE, if you wanna kill more time. Looking good ya ole' creep. Kiss that baby for me! Read More
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

Full report forthcoming, of course. Peep the promo ... Read More
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
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
It usually starts with a "Hey Chain, your gonna wanna get this!" Rocky Norton live and uncut. Stage dive to the street. More of Rock and his HUSH RIOT in ISSUE FIVE. Read More
I'd like to welcome you mugs to the NEW Broketape site. Most are unaware that behind the cyber curtain of this site lurks Jon Finnegan, my long time partner (no homo), HAVEBOARD.com purveyor and general web mastermind. He pulls the code strings to my pixel pushes and digital chop suey. Well, he has outdone himself this time. Nearly two years in the planning and execution...here she is. More video clips, more new ... Read More
