			<title>A SORT OF HOMECOMING</title>
			
<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/60blog_danlu.jpg" alt="60blog_danlu.jpg" />	<p>When you get the call <em>(or text)</em> from your pal telling you to "get south" because he's coming home for a visit, you best jump South. </p><p><strong>Daniel Lutheran</strong> is riding the wave of <em>"up-and-coming"</em> reef in the sea of <em>"Skateboard Industry."</em> He's currently living in Long Beach; touring, demoing, <a href="http://www.insight51.com/www/home.php" title="Insight!" rel="external">accruing sponsorships</a> and most importantly: filming a debut video part for <a href="http://www.toymachine.com/" title="Bloodsucking Skateboard Company" rel="external">Toy</a>. I can't wait! But, sometimes what you need most is a home cooked meal. So, ya head home for some family time.</p><p>Due to the dodgy weather on this particular weekend, Dan and I could only muster a <a href="http://broketape.com/post/primary_playland/" title="Primary Playground" rel="external">"New Park"</a> session. He gave a quick one man demo as I chased him around with the trusty VX... We truly wanted to get "amongst it" in the wild, but no dice. Next time. Til' then... new park montage!</p><p>Music: <strong>Screaming Females</strong> <em>"Bell"</em> <a href="http://screamingfemales.blogspot.com/" title="We got blogged!" rel="external">(the band is stoked!)</a></p>

			<title>GO SKATE DAY</title>
			
<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/58blog_espa.jpg" alt="58blog_espa.jpg" />	<p>For months now I've been trying to spread the word about the skatepark in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Española,_New_Mexico" title="Wiki wiki wiki, shut up!" rel="external">Española, New Mexico</a>. The response is usually something like, "Española?" Yep! </p><p>It's somewhat of a late '90's "<em>X-Games</em>" set up with large metal ramps set up in a back and forth manner... and super fun in my humble opinion. But on this, the first day of summer,.. really fuckin' HOT.  Hot like a stove. But, <strong>Johnny Gomez</strong> and <strong>Neil Shanklin</strong> gave it a go nonetheless... So, for all the homies who wanted to see what the hell I've been spitting about, here it is. Go skate day footage. Enjoy.</p><p>Music: <strong>Crystal Castles</strong> <em>"Celestica"</em> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurston_Moore" title=""we love you Thurston!"" rel="external">Thurston Moore</a> Remix</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm8aRbmQC3s" title="You Tube" rel="external">Watch</a> on You Tube.</p>

I drunkenly stumbled onto a whole crop of good times last weekend in Albuquerque. I witnessed the local video premier of <a href="http://skateabq.blogspot.com/2010/05/nothing-special-weekend.html" title="SKATEABQ" rel="external">Nothing Special</a> (which ripped, from what I remember.) Partied with locals, up-and-coming ams and a top Pro. Filmed <a href="http://www.chilogy.com/2010/05/eye-of-iphone.html" title="Bangin'!" rel="external">(re-filmed)</a> a serious banger, and throughout the entire ride I was meeting new friends or re-connecting with old ones. Good looks, I hope to see you all again real soon.

Saturday, I bombed some hills solo before meeting up with <strong>Neil "Skud" Shanklin</strong> and <strong>Xander Rentz</strong> at <a href="http://broketape.com/post/ceebs/" title="Ceebs post" rel="external">Ceebs</a>.

<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/53blog_paparazzi.jpg" alt="53blog_paparazzi.jpg" />	<p>I just did some spring cleaning to the <a href="http://broketape.com/homies/" title="" rel="external">HOMIES</a> section, or the links if you wanna be a dick about it. In there you will find some newish New Mexico skate sites... big ups to all the "around the way" blog doggs. I added some big name <a href="http://www.huntfilmwork.com/" title="hunt" rel="external">camera</a> men whom keep the content coming and inspiration flowing. And last, but not least, the pot calling <a href="http://thekettleblack.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/cliche-vault/" title="black" rel="external">the kettle black</a>. I always hated the term <em>"throwaway footage"</em>... if your using it, you didn't throw it away, right? Anyway, I offer kudos to this somewhat controversial take on the skateboard <a href="http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/index" title="ESPN" rel="external">media</a> outlets. Cheers! Here's to Spring.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/52blog_title_card.gif" alt="52blog_title_card.gif" />	<p>Have you ever seen the <strong>Fellini</strong> film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_1/2" title="Guido!" rel="external">8 1/2</a>? Ever heard the <strong>Black Flag</strong> record <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Got_the_10½%3F" title="Modern Man!" rel="external">"Who's got the 10 1/2?"</a> Did you know I've been trying to complete a full-length skate video for over ten years now? Well, my answer is <em>YES!</em> And now I am pleased to say that I plan to roll all the above, plus a plethora of additional influences into what will become the <em>Broketape.com</em> full-lenth video. The only thing that's certain at this point is the title, and that I am committed to making it a reality. </p><p>I recently dusted of the 'ole <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_DCR-VX1000" title="" rel="external">VX1000</a> and headed to <strong>Albuquerque</strong> to get started filming. It had been awhile so I was a bit rusty, but with the help of local rippers <strong>Andrew Torralvo</strong>, <strong>Jermaine</strong>, <strong>Charles Fletcher</strong>, <strong>Derek Prada</strong> and <strong>Xander Rentz</strong>, I got my "filming legs" going. So, things are underway... updates to follow as we move forward into Spring.</p><p>Additionally, have you see cha' boy <strong>Dan Lu's</strong> New Jack in the latest <a href="http://theskateboardmag.com/articles/contenders-daniel-lutheran/" title="Contender!" rel="external">Skateboard Mag</a>? Check it if haven't yet. </p><p>Lastly, I had a nice long "chat" with <strong>Tyler Franz</strong>, who is recovering from injury at home in Michigan. He assures me he's ready to get back to the Southwest upon recovery, and is down to film "bangers" for the video... great news huh?</p><p>Video clip music: <strong>Johnny Thunders</strong> - <em>"Dylan cover live"</em></p>

		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/50blog_rvca.jpg" alt="50blog_rvca.jpg" />	<p>Last Wednesday I spent a few hours hanging with my pal <a href="http://www.theskateboardmag.com/watch/daniel-lutheran/" title="Mag Minute" rel="external"><strong>Dan Lutheran</strong></a>. We skated and filmed a little before taking refuge from the incoming storm at the <strong>Dion's</strong> pizza across from the "<a href="http://broketape.com/post/primary_playland/" title="New Park edit" rel="external">new park</a>." As those Dion's sessions tend to go, we got to talking skateboarding etc., and I recalled the <strong>RVCA</strong> demo in Santa Fe. I'd all but forgot this footage I shot of the bro's. Anyway, it was quite cold and that park is pretty bunk in my humble opinion, but what the f#%&amp;... here it is. Music: <strong>The Ramones</strong> wish Mr. Burns a happy born day.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/48blog_comedy.jpg" alt="48blog_comedy.jpg" />	<p>Greetings in the new decade friends. I have a couple of bitchin' links to share. I'm sure they are old news to most, but whateves they f@#&amp;in' rule... firstly, <a href="http://www.huntfilmwork.com/updates/#daher-ethan-vcr-edit" title="Greg Hunt" rel="external">THIS</a> old gem from <strong>Greg Hunt</strong> made me smile ear to ear, not only because of the stellar vintage <strong>Ethan Fowler</strong> footy, but also for the great clips of <strong>Robert DeNiro</strong> in his role as Rupert Pupkin from <em>The King of Comedy</em>, a classic film you should see if you haven't. Super fun and <a href="http://broketape.com/post/get_weird/" title="Get Weird!" rel="external">weird</a>, just how I like it. Secondly, yesterday the skate web was saturated with the <em>Machtaildrop</em> movie trailer... rightly so. This movie looks beyond epic in every way. Like every good thing about a <strong>Wes Anderson</strong> or <strong>Coen Brothers</strong> movie rolled tightly with credible skate personalities old and new and is based on skateboarding... genius! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dW_LiiZuoU" title="Harvey!" rel="external">THIS</a> is in the same vein and also looks tasty... and <a href="http://www.thislosangeles.com/" title="Gallery sctuff!" rel="external">THIS</a>.</p><p>Johnny's issue nine should be up very shortly... tune back in.</p><p>[yt]http://www.youtube.com/v/maMF3E7WlBs[/yt]</p>

<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/40blog_babysteps.jpg" alt="40blog_babysteps.jpg" />	<p>The first issue of <em>Broketape</em> took over a year, with umpteen edits and various music choices. Finally, after I moved to Taos ... two hours from the skate scene I was dedicated to covering, things finally got moving. </p><p>In issues <a href="http://broketape.com/issue2/" title="2" rel="external">Two</a> and <a href="http://broketape.com/issue3/" title="3" rel="external">Three</a>, new parks were opening up, new friends were being made, and the guard of the Albuquerque scene seemed to be changing. As exciting as it was, this period of time was bitter-sweet. I gained more experience as a father ... and another child, yet lost my Mother. Looking back on it now, these are some of the best clips because of all the stuff that was going on. I submerged myself in this project as a way to deal with life. I'm really glad I had this outlet. </p><p>So, without further a-do, <em>"Behind the Tape, episode two - Baby Steps"</em></p><p>Skaters: <strong>Ian Preut</strong> (mostly. He was seriously ripping at this time!), <strong>Xander Rentz</strong>, <strong>Tony Tomita</strong>, <strong>Rob Palmer</strong>, <strong>Charles Fletcher</strong>, <strong>Max Rentz</strong>, <strong>Chris Cumber</strong>, <strong>Dan Garcia</strong>, <strong>Gordy Cousino</strong>,  and <strong>Steven Lovato</strong>.</p><p>Music: <strong>Them</strong> - <em>"Gloria"</em></p><p>Filming + edit: <strong>Goldchain</strong></p>

		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/39blog_best_1.jpg" alt="39blog_best_1.jpg" />	<p>I have been working on a <em>"Best of" </em>type of deal ever since the computer melt-down happened and I found myself filling a hard-drive with all the old clips, etc. I had every intention of making an epic montage that would shock and amaze the internet skate video conglomerate, but then, I sort of got "over it." Then I got stoked again. Etc. Now, with Fall upon us and probably two issues coming within the next couple months, I figure, what the hey? </p><p>So here ya go. <em>"Behind the Tape, episode one - Learning to Crawl." </em></p><p>The days when <a href="http://skateboardpark.com/skateboardpark/viewpark.asp?ID=233" title="Los Altos" rel="external">Los Altos Skatepark</a> was the go to spot, Dan was still living in NM, and the Rio Grande stairs/rails were still the property of <strong>Ryan Simonetti</strong>, not the <a href="http://www.bakerboysdist.com/VIDEOS/" title="Dem Baker Boyz!" rel="external">Deathwish</a> tour's.

<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/38blog_comeback.jpg" alt="38blog_comeback.jpg" />	<p>On the eve prior to heading <a href="http://broketape.com/post/pushin_east_pt_1_philly/" title="Pushin' East!" rel="external">East</a>, I met up with my long time co-hort, and fellow skate lensman, <strong>Johnny Gomez</strong>. During the few hours we had to catch up, he proceeded to blow my mind with his future plans and even more so with the footage stockpile he was sitting on. When he announced <em>"here is a Broketape edit I have done and ready... you'll love the song."</em> I about shit myself. I sat and watched in amazement. </p><p>So, the good news is, there is a new issue about to drop. The bad news is Johnny is moving to <a href="http://skateaz.com" title="SKATE AZ!!!" rel="external">Arizona</a> for the winter, which isn't really bad news, as it is only a bummer for me because he won't be in Albuquerque. In honor of our good friend and his new adventure, here are a few warm-up clips from last weeks meet-up in Santa Fe. We're gonna miss ya buddy. Let me know when you have a floor to crash on.</p><p>** Speaking of Santa Fe, the <a href="http://www.rvca.com/skate/" title="JIMMY!!" rel="external">RVCA</a> team will be doing a signing/demo in Santa Fe on Saturday, Oct. 10th.

			<title>PUSHIN' EAST PT. 2 : NYC</title>
			
<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/37blog_nyc.jpg" alt="37blog_nyc.jpg" />	<p>After <a href="http://haveboard.com" title="Finn" rel="external">Haveboard</a> and I returned to the <em>"Command Center"</em> from Pop's, we quickly gathered up what added gear would be needed for NYC and hit the "Chinatown" bus, Brooklyn bound. It was raining. We were hungry and thirsty, but we skipped the food and hit the bar running. Shots and beers, shots and beers. Needless to say, looooong night. Woke to more rain. We grub and head straight to the <a href="http://autumnnyc.com/" title="Autumn" rel="external">Autumn</a> bowl for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSQPJ0s-jNQ" title="You Tube Jawn!" rel="external">Brent Atchley</a> best trick jawn. The scene was already set: dark, crowded, loud (metal/punk bands), and beer soaked (free <a href="http://www.asahibeer.co.jp/english/" title="Beeeeeeer!!!" rel="external">Asahi</a>!) ... seemed like a great way to spend a rainy Sunday. I lurked and watched for a good while contemplating how the fuck to film anything in the madness/darkness. But, soon the rippers started really ripping, and I had lugged the camera all this way, so what the hell, right?! <strong>Brent</strong>, our host, was killing it smoothly, <strong>Andrew Langi</strong> was flying high, <strong>Kyle Berard</strong> seemed to dip in and out always laying out 6 to 10 tricks, but <strong>Dan Carrerio</strong> skated ALL damn day! He was all over the place. Loose and wild. It was sick! Well deserved money for third. Langi turned it way up to land second place. And Berard ripped like he always does, first place.</p><p>My ears are still ringing!</p><p>A huge thanks to <strong>Haveboard</strong> for coming through with the additional HD flip jawns in the edit. Good looks to <strong>Matt</strong> and <strong>Sabah</strong> for the futon space. To <strong>Philthy</strong> and <strong>Skinny</strong>, rock on bretheren! ... holla if a skate mission ever brings you to New Mex. And lastly a giant <em>FUCK YOU!</em> to the coward bastard who walked off with my board. Karma fucker, karma.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/36blog_philly2.jpg" alt="36blog_philly2.jpg" />	<p>As it happens, when you travel great distances, new perspectives seem to open up like spring flowers in bloom. This was the case for me as I ventured out to the skateparks of Philadelphia. First stop, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDR_Skatepark" title="GNARLY!!" rel="external">FDR</a>. Upon securing a new plank, thanks to <em>"Dem Noc Boyz" </em>down at <a href="http://www.nocturnalskateshop.com" title="Skinny!" rel="external">Nocturnal</a>, I found that between the travel wear n' tear and previous nights bike ride shenanigans, I was unfit to push swiftly though the city streets ... the 50mm wheels weren't helping me either! By the time we reached <a href="http://www.fdrskatepark.org/" title="coming soon." rel="external">FDR</a>, all I had in me was strength to pop open a tall can and gaze around in amazement. Quite a monster they have down there. We skated and filmed a little. <strong>Haveboard</strong> nailed his line with the help of <strong>Gonzo's</strong> "got cho' back grabber", the local lurk's "goonface", and round 2 props from Tito <a href="http://randyroydist.com/" title="Randy Roy!" rel="external">"Hard Times."</a> We hit it back to have Matt cook the kill "grill" grub.</p><p>The next day, after a long lazy day, <a href="http://haveboard.com/" title="Cross-bloggin'" rel="external">Haver's</a> and I headed over to <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/5611444" title="Opening Jawn." rel="external">Pop's park</a>. By the time we got there, we only had a little time to really skate before the rain started. I quickly shoved the camera in the face of a couple locals, <strong>Jake Hanitschak</strong> &amp; <strong>Jay Klotz</strong>, in effort to bring you at least a taste ... so, pardon the lack of clips. The park is fun for sure, and noteable shredders at the session: <strong>Wagner</strong> on his loooooooooong street set-up, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLLxlPZt65w" title="Ipath Part." rel="external">Barker fuckin Barrett!</a> His 5-0 to fakie alone was worth the trip over.</p><p>Thanks to everyone who I met, you mugs <em>RULE!</em></p><p>Enjoy the clip. Tomorrow, NYC and the Autumn bowl. Stay tuned.</p>

Now clocking in with six skateparks throughout the city, <em>Albuquerque</em> is killing it. The latest is another stab at the 1/2 concrete, 1/2 <a href="http://www.plasticbottle.com/" title="We make polution!" rel="external">Skatewave</a> concept. Although to be fair, it is mostly concrete. Most everyone I talked to has admitted to spending "all Summer here." It's fun to say the least, so without further a-dooo, here is <strong>Tyler Franz</strong>, <strong>Monico Candelaria</strong>, <strong>Neil Shanklin</strong>, and a brief appearance by <strong>Xander Rentz</strong> in what is known as the "new park."

The weather kills it, the School yards are a plenty, and it seems everywhere you look there is a spot or someone is skating. Upon this trip out to the promised land I had the pleasure of hanging/skating with <a href="http://theskateboardmag.com/watch/dj-chavez/" title="Deej!" rel="external">DJ Chavez</a>, <strong>Lizard King</strong>, <strong>J-Roy</strong>, <a href="http://theskateboardmag.com/watch/sebo-walker/" title="Sebo?" rel="external">Sebo Walker</a>, <strong>Yoon Sul</strong>, and my boy "<strong>Benny Lee</strong>" AKA "<strong>Mr. New Mexico</strong>." Ben is always down to come to Venice and hang tough. I think it has something to do with the bodybuilding/skate history ... who knows. Anyway, he killed it. Here is a clip of some lines etc. from the trip. Music by <strong>Blue Cheer</strong>, <em>"Summertime Blues."</em> Until next time, thanks for the sun burn.</p>

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 <a href="mailto:broketape@gmail.com">email</a>s letting me know I hadn't updated in a while, I dug up what remaining footage/super-8/alt. edits hadn't seen daylight and put them to a track from the movie's score. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome."</p>

The contest post, not really, but I did want to mention the <a href="http://www.allnationsskatejam.com/" title="all nations skate jam" rel="external">ALL NATIONS SKATE JAM</a>. It seemed like a pretty cool event. The <a href="http://everymanskateboards.com" title="The Hush Riot Biotch!" rel="external">HUSH RIOT</a> represented, as did the <strong>Alva Posse</strong>. My son Jaxxon was on sensory overload and so stoked to make off with a fresh stick. <strong>Johnny Gomez</strong>(video), <strong>Tyler Franz</strong> and <strong>Miami</strong> were killing the Los Altos slab. A ripper by the name of <a href="http://everymanskateboards.com/2009/04/28/jakey-wiscigan/" title="Wishigan?" rel="external">JAKE</a> won.</p>

In true skate-rat form, Johnny and I skated through the downtown streets to the show. Fun. The <a href="http://tumyeto.com/" title="You say tomato..." rel="external">Tum Yeto</a> 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 of nowhere as did a pit of sweaty moshing(?)... a sight I hadn't seen in a while. Long live skate-rock. Sunday we got down to biz. New issue coming soon.</p>

			<title>BARNEY'S BACK!</title>
			
<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/20blog_dean.jpg" alt="20blog_dean.jpg" />	<p>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 site launched. Due to my antsy nature, I posted it on my <a href="http://goldchain.us" title="Sean "goldchain" Ratliff" rel="external">portfolio site</a> a few months ago instead. Sorry to those who have see it already. Shot in an afternoon, my buddy <strong>Dean Pogni</strong> had just landed in Albuquerque and I was showing him around. We met up with <strong>Xander Rentz</strong> and crew at a spot then took it down to "Ceebs," where <strong>Ian Preut</strong> was slaying the park. No bangers but we had a blast and it all fit perfectly to the <em>Barney Miller</em> score. Enjoy the "Barney Edit."</p>

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 to say is, the growth from <em>Fresh</em> to this is amazing. Job well done to Johnny and everyone involved. Fun times were had at the premier.</p>

			<title>LOST AND FOUND: SF SUPER 8</title>
			
<description><![CDATA[
		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/17blog_lostfound.jpg" alt="17blog_lostfound.jpg" />	<p>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 undertaking. This footage from a <a href="http://lowcardmag.com" title="Lowcard Mag" rel="external">LOWCARD</a> BBQ at 3rd and Army in San Francisco was slated to go with the corresponding video that you may have seen in <a href="http://broketape.com/issue5" title="Broketape Issue 5" rel="external">Issue 5</a>. But, by the time it came back in the mail, the edit was done. Also, it seems to shift between color an B&amp;W due to the nature of the old film stock. Anyway, I dug it up the other day and with some much invested, why not? Skaters/etc. are <strong>Rob Collinson</strong>, <strong>Dean Pogni</strong>, <strong>Peter Ramondetta</strong>, <strong>Benny Gold</strong> and <strong>Elias Bingham</strong>. Music by The Melvins, "Hide."</p>

		<img src="http://broketape.com/images/thumb_b/15blog_ceebs.jpg" alt="15blog_ceebs.jpg" />	<p>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 reluctantly pulled out the camera. Here is what I got. No fancy camera settings or angles...just a few fun clips. <strong>Daniel Lutheren</strong>, <strong>Johnny Gomez</strong> and welcoming <strong>Tyler Franz</strong> to Broketape.</p>

The new park is incredible and there was an electric vibe all day.
