Sometimes things just fall in your lap. Like when your friend Johnny Gomez hits you with an HD edit packed with the best Albuquerque spots, sick locals ripping said spots, and cars being lifted off the ground! Yeah. From Johnny: "Issue 11 Broketape's Albuquerque Roundup! Which actually is the first "No-Tape" Broketape issue includes all your favorite Albuquerque street cats, and ditch rats doing what they do ...

Coinciding with issue 10 going up, my trusty ole' pal the VX1000 decided to stop working. Bummed. The good news is: it was very productive in the weeks leading up to it's demise, so the content won't cease just yet, but just say'n. It may be time to get one of those DSLR jawns that are so popular today, but I'm not counting the VX out altogether just yet... In other resurrection news, Monico seems to be br ... Read More
You can stop holding your breath... back on the grind, so to speak. Today is GSD, or the summer solstice if you wanna be a dick about it. This clip was filmed on Sunday. A windy as hell Sunday. Johnny and Jaxx. New park. Read More
With no further ado... Ben Woosley's banger of a video part from the homie video, TOASTED, is now online. Just found THIS related link. Thanks for the love dudes! [yt]http://www.youtube.com/v/IRO1hyMEE6E[/yt] Read More
Sorry for the downtime, although...I doubt anyone noticed. Yesterday, I was happy to find Ben's MAG MINUTE posted on TSMÂș - super sick edit by Clair Chang. I'm not sure if TOASTED is out yet, but here is the trailer, in case you missed it. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/v/8XLK-UkkiIY[/yt] Read More
With not much but winter conditions up my way, the boys down in Albuquerque have been traveling and braving the cold to get some sessions in. Johnny Gomez and friends have been documenting the progress on a new project called Footy Party HERE. Some nice photos and laughs on there. New issue of Broketape coming? Prob'ly. Read More
Last week the wife and I got outta "Dodge," and headed down to Albuquerque for some much needed R&R and Spring-like weather. I made a point to bring both board and camera along. Saturday, I bombed some hills solo before meeting up with Neil "Skud" Shanklin and Xander Rentz at Ceebs. I was sucking wind on the filming tip... I think I made them do each trick like three times, it was really bad as you will see. Tha ... Read More
Have you ever seen the Fellini film 8 1/2? Ever heard the Black Flag record "Who's got the 10 1/2?" Did you know I've been trying to complete a full-length skate video for over ten years now? Well, my answer is YES! 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 Broketape.com full-lenth video. The only thing that's certain at this ... Read More
We had a light-hearted and fun little session last Wednesday at the "new park," and here's what we came away with... Neil got the blunt, and Dan flat-spotted into his first-ever nose blunt skidder on a quarter. His second was golden, but that's for another time boys and girls. Full-length Broketape is underway. Believe that. Read More
Now live and direct Issue 9... from the lens and laptop of my homie, my stromie, but never no bologna, Johnny Gomez. Whom also is running this little nugget. In his edit are to many rippers to name, but to those of us who ran in the late 90's Arizona skate scene, the name Josh Heath should ring a long lost bell. Welcome to Broketape Josh! Well, enjoy as this may very well be the last issue for a while... more on ... Read More
