ON FIRE

07/30/2011

While the fire still burns in the mountains surrounding the Los Alamos area, a few weeks ago, BZ skateshop held it's second annual skate contest at the Los Alamos park. I was surprised it wasn't cancelled, as the entire community was evacuated in the weeks earlier. It was a monumental event in the sense that my son Jaxxon entered, and won his first skate contest. He was stoked! A big thanks to Pat and the BZ squ ... Read More

GO SKATE DAY

Some of that good ole' Espanola skatepark graffiti.

06/25/2010

For months now I've been trying to spread the word about the skatepark in Española, New Mexico. The response is usually something like, "Española?" Yep! It's somewhat of a late '90's "X-Games" 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, Johnny Gomez and Neil Shankli ... Read More

NEW FRIENDS

"Goldchain, I've never seen you so Sober." - Mario J. Rivera, Bartender

05/25/2010

Sometimes murking on a mission with no set plan is the best plan of action. I drunkenly stumbled onto a whole crop of good times last weekend in Albuquerque. I witnessed the local video premier of Nothing Special (which ripped, from what I remember.) Partied with locals, up-and-coming ams and a top Pro. Filmed (re-filmed) a serious banger, and throughout the entire ride I was meeting new friends or re-connecting ... Read More

RVCA DEMO

"Happy Birthday dear Burnsey!"

01/30/2010

Last Wednesday I spent a few hours hanging with my pal Dan Lutheran. We skated and filmed a little before taking refuge from the incoming storm at the Dion's pizza across from the "new park." As those Dion's sessions tend to go, we got to talking skateboarding etc., and I recalled the RVCA 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 bun ... Read More

PUSHIN' EAST PT. 2 : NYC

"I just call 'em like I see 'em"

10/01/2009

After Haveboard and I returned to the "Command Center" 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 Autumn bowl for the Brent At ... Read More

SKATE ROCK MOSH PIT

Can you find Tyler Franz?

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

HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL PREMIER

Johnny Gomez

03/05/2009

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
