BBAS057: SK8-TV S01 E03 with guest Anthony Pappalardo (The SK8-TV Files Vol. 4)
“By skaters, for skaters”-as it was then, so it is now at The Bones Brigade Audio Show! Welcome back to another cannonball straight into the Deep End of Nickelodeon’s most notorious contribution to early nineties subculture, SK8-TV! Joining us in the studio for a part-by-part analysis of its fabled Episode 3 is none other than our good friend and returning special guest, the one and only Anthony Pappalardo. From Jim Thiebaud getting pummeled mid-interview by a bucket of water courtesy of Tommy Guerrero, to Lance Mountain getting his mouth duct-taped shut after drawing his own likeness on the bottom of Matt Lynn’s foot, to Ray Underhill preaching skate safety from an RV window somewhere along a California mountain roadway, this episode delivers the goods in a hilarious, rapid-fire fashion that would set the pace for the rest of the series. As always, you can check out the full, chronologically correct episode over on our YouTube channel. What are you waiting for? Join us, shall you?

BBAS056: Matcha Rules with guest Bobby Puleo
We know what you’re thinking- what the hell is “Matcha Rules?" Indeed, The Bones Brigade Audio Show has not been shy about shining light onto some of the more obscure and unknown videos from the farthest corners of the ‘Brigade universe- but this one might just take the cake. What we have here, friends, is a half hour long, professionally produced, stacked and soundtracked 1999 Powell Skateboards Japan tour video featuring Steve Caballero, Jon Comer and Moses Itkonen… that no one has ever heard of. You won’t find it in a Google search. It’s not online. The aforementioned skaters that were in it have never heard of it. How it came to be made, printed, and immediately relegated to absolute obscurity- even in the age of the internet- is a complete mystery. However, as always, the BBAS crew- with the assistance of this episode’s special returning guest, legendary skate sleuth Bobby Puleo- are here to help unravel it all. Part by part, park by park and trick by trick, we get into the weeds and deliver you the VHS goods. Of course, you can come along for the ride, as this forgotten video enigma is now available for you to see in all its glory over on the BBAS YouTube channel. Does Matcha indeed rule? There’s only one way to find out- so join us, shall you?

BBAS055: Back To The Future with guests Per Welinder, Bob Schmelzer and Jerry Madrid
Roads? For this episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show, we don’t need roads. This week, the BBAS crew invite you to travel back in time to 1985 for the most complete and painstaking Back to the Future skateboarding retrospective ever assembled in one place! For many, this film- however unintentionally- marked the jumping off point, when skating entered the mainstream collective consciousness of legions of action-starved kids around the globe and helped kickstart the mid-80’s skate boom to follow. Joining us on our trip are three incredible guests: Jerry Madrid, owner of Madrid Skateboards, to discuss the origins of Marty McFly’s infamous Valterra/Madrid collaboration; Bob Schmelzer, Circle-A founder and pro freestyler who doubled for original BTTF leading man Eric Stoltz; and legendary Powell Peralta pro Per Welinder, who not only stepped into Michael J. Fox’s skate shoes for the refilming, but also managed to find himself sitting in a car careening toward the back of a famous manure truck for one of the movie’s most memorable scenes. We dig into the history, the filming, the stories, the culture, the graphics, and everything in between- so get that DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour and join us, shall you?

BBAS054: Sophie Bourgeois (Intelligence Report Vol. 11)
Welcome back to the show! For this- our eleventh installment of the Intelligence Report series- we are honored to be joined in the studio by the legendary Sophie Bourgeois! Aside from being known far and wide in the Bones Brigade universe for her short but memorable interview and freestyle segment alongside Anita Tessensohn and Lori Rigsby in 1988’s Public Domain, Sophie has a long and fascinating tale that is deeply rooted in skateboarding history. From her early days as one of Canada’s top female skateboarders in the late 1970’s to championship wins, meeting Kevin Harris, moving to the US, her two-year relationship with Rodney Mullen, filming with Stacy Peralta, injuries, comebacks, and the eventual bowing out for a career in academics and aviation- we cover it all and then some. As you undoubtedly know by now, these are stories you’ll only get to hear if you are tuned into The Bones Brigade Audio Show, so watch out for them snakes and join us, shall you?

BBAS053: Magic with guest Andy Macdonald
“Powell magic”- a topic of much discussion here at the BBAS from the very beginning. Faithful listeners have endured countless tales of spliced-in sound effects, bails cut into makes, Frankie Hill’s famous “foot POV” handrail, Robert Kittila’s experimental camera creations… the list of Powell’s magic moments goes on and on. Yet, there’s one considerably important bit of Powell Magic yet to be delved into- the 1998 video of the same name! Yes, Brigadiers, today we’ll be digging deep into Bones Brigade video 16- or so it’s labeled- and joining us for the adventure is none other than legendary Powell pro, global skateboarding ambassador and 23-time X Games medalist, Andy Macdonald! We go part-by-part with Andy through this late-nineties time capsule to get the inside information on the team, the tricks, the tours, the trampolines and the times that you have come to expect from The Bones Brigade Audio Show. Magic is in the air and the demo is about to start, so get up to the deck and join us- shall you?

BBAS052: SK8-TV S01 E02 with guest Ed Syder (The SK8-TV Files Vol. 3)
The staff at the Pink Motel are working overtime this week as the BBAS crew once again descends on their doorstep for our third installment of the much-anticipated SK8-TV Files! This time- with the help of our good friend, returning special guest and skate artist extraordinaire Ed Syder- we will be tackling the monumental, Powell-heavy Episode 2 of this storied series. With assists from Lance Mountain and producer Mark Hunt, we get to the bottom of the location of the fabled, recurring “in the skateshop” segment- and do some heavy analysis on even heavier sections featuring Ray Underhill, Tony Hawk, the LA Boys, Chuck Treece, Dennis Dragon and plenty more. Of course, we have dutifully uploaded the complete, chronologically-correct Episode 2 of SK8-TV to The Bones Brigade Audio Show YouTube Channel- you won’t find it anywhere else- so be sure to check that out and follow along for maximum enjoyment. The pool sesh is about to get heated, so grab a deck chair and join us- shall you?

BBAS051: Strip Mall Heroes with guest Rich Wilson
It’s time to delve, once again, into that strange and enchanted era known as the late nineties with a play-by-play review of the often-overlooked Powell Skateboards ’97 summer tour documentary, Strip Mall Heroes- and joining us for the occasion is none other than ripping skateboarder and thrift_store_paintings Instagram content creator, Rich Wilson! Much like Chaos and 8 before it, Strip Mall Heroes is a tale of a video in two forms: the officially-released version, and the lesser-known “rough cut” that was hastily shelved following the surprise departures of Mike Vallely, Stacy Lowery and Charlie Wilkins from the team prior to its release (never seen or heard of this version? Fret not, for it is now available for viewing over on The Bones Brigade Audio Show YouTube channel!) We get into it all- the tricks, the one-liners, the return of the Ripper intro, Ramp Master Pete, Cock Diesel and more- and cap it off with an epic mailbag. This is one you shan’t want to miss, so slam a glob of wasabi and join us-shall you?

BBAS050: Colin McKay (Intelligence Report Vol. 10)
The fiftieth episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show is roaring into your eardrums, and with it, the 10th installment of our vaunted Intelligence Report interview series! Joining us to celebrate the occasion is the one and only Colin McKay, who sat down with us in the studio for an incredible retrospective discussion on his formative career with Powell Peralta. We get into his origins of skateboarding in the Great White North, the various incarnations of the legendary Richmond Skate Ranch, the lasting impact of Expo ’86, every single one of his multiple Bones Brigade video parts, touring with Tony Hawk, and everything in between. And- as if that weren’t enough- our good friend (and episode 25 special guest) Anita Tessensohn dropped by to hang out for a bit and give the low-down on her recent surprise induction into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. It’s a full-on auditory assault, so grab a copy of your Operation Motherhood Field Manual, get to the front lines and join us- shall you?

BBAS049: Tapes You Leave Behind with guest Tony Hawk
Welcome, wall-jammers, to season three of The Bones Brigade Audio Show! We are kicking off 2024 with a bang as we welcome to the studio none other than the legendary Tony Hawk- to get into the weeds on his newest (and final) video part, Tapes You Leave Behind! This nearly five-minute banger is dripping with tributes to Tony’s Powell Peralta past, with classic 'Brigade cameos and a soundtrack straight out of Skateboarding in the 80’s framing what is unsurprisingly one of the most progressive vert skateboarding segments ever committed to film. We discuss all that- plus The Bones Brigade Experience, Thrasher's Skater Of The Year, tricks that didn’t make the cut, Tony's favorite overall career video part, his favorite Powell graphic, the elusive location of the Blue Tile Lounge, and tons more that you will only find here at the BBAS. We don't want to miss Johnny Rad’s gig, so quit jelling and join us- shall you?

BBAS048: Holiday Havoc - Vision's Rock N Roll Jam with guest Don Hoffman
Season’s greetings, dear listeners! The stockings are hung by the chimney with care and the eggnog is flowing here at the BBASHQ, because it’s time for our highly-anticipated annual holiday episode! And really, what better way to ring in the yuletide cheer then by digging into the 1986 Unreel video; Holiday Havoc? Yes, this one might be a bit of a departure from our usual stringent subject matter, but fret not, for the ‘Brigade is well represented at this legendary NSA contest- featuring not just incredible vert runs by Mike McGill, Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain and Steve Caballero, but a flat bottom freestyle demo by Rodney Mullen and a guest host spot by Stacy Peralta himself. Joining us for this urethane journey is none other than Don Hoffman, heir to the fabled Upland Pipeline legacy and the head producer at Unreel Productions- the video arm of the Vision empire- back in their 1980’s heyday. This contest was his brainchild, so naturally we picked that brain clean to get you all the deepest details on the ins and outs of this towering achievement in the annals of skate contest history. Wait- did you hear sleigh bells just now? Was that the click-clack of Mini Rats on the rooftop? As always, there’s only one way to find out- so join us, shall you?

BBAS047: The Bones Brigade Experience with guest Matt Lorentz
Now that the dust has settled on the first (and hopefully not the last) Bones Brigade Experience, we’re back in the studio to recount this momentous celebration to you in our usual painstaking detail! This episode is a play in three acts- Part I is a summary of the trip out to SoCal by our own Larry Ransom, wherein you’ll hear the entire tale of his ‘Experience experience from start to finish; Part II features an exclusive interview with BBEXP art director Matt “Air Matty” Lorentz, who spent the weeks leading up to the event delirious from paint fumes as he orchestrated the incredible recreation of Johnny Rad’s Blue Tile Lounge, and Part III is just a fun bonus- the entire audio of the Q&A session with Tony, Lance, Tommy, Mike, Stevie, Rodney, George and Stacy, as it happened! If you weren’t able to attend, this is as close as you’ll come to being there, so get up on those kick-tails and join us, shall you?

BBAS046: Four Pro Model Promo Videos with guest Clyde Singleton
Welcome back, curb-whackers, to another exciting episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show! Back in 1996, after a multi-year hiatus, the powers that be determined that enough time had passed since their self-imposed moratorium began, and it was time to start bringing pro models back into the lineup at Powell Skateboards. As the skate world breathed a collective sigh of relief at this news, those same powers that be decided that the best way to reintroduce everyone to this welcomed return to form was to produce four individual videos on VHS that would be packaged free with each different board that went out. Joining us to review these very promotional videos- for Steve Caballero, Mike Vallely, Mike Santarossa, and Jason Ellis, respectively- is none other than the legendary pro skateboarder, podcaster, chef, and skate historian of the highest order, Clyde Singleton! Clyde joined us in the BBAS studio to go over each of these relatively rare video parts- all very different in their own right, from Cab’s mini-documentary to Santarossa’s mini-movie- with the usual fine-toothed comb. What secrets will be unearthed? What tales will be told? What tricks will be discussed? There’s only one way to find out, so go dig your VCR out of that bin in the attic, plug it in and join us- shall you?

BBAS045: SK8-TV S01 E01 with guest Peter McKeon (The SK8-TV Files Vol. 2)
The Bones Brigade Audio show is back in the Deep End for our second installment of the highly anticipated SK8-TV Files! This week, we’ll be diving in to the inaugural episode of the show- the almost-lost-for-all-time pilot- which rolled like a seven ply steamroller into the homes of unsuspecting Nickelodeon viewers in the summer of 1990 and kicked off what would ultimately become a beloved, if short-lived institution in skateboarding. To assist Matt and Larry in this epic review, we’re welcoming back the one and only Peter McKeon; our BBAS016 special guest, Powell Peralta alum, Emmy Award winning director and guy who happens to have his name in the credits of this very episode of SK8-TV. How’d he get there? How high can Natas ollie? What was the world premiere of Ban This really like? We’ll answer all these questions and more, so steal yourself a parking block, strap on your pads and join us- shall you?

BBAS044: Video iT uR’SelF - Chris Long, Flynn Atkins, Steve Thompson (Intelligence Report Vol. 9)
You’re in for a real doozy this time around, fellow Brigadeers… because for this, our ninth installment of The Bones Brigade Audio Show Intelligence Report series, we are welcoming some seriously unbelievable guests- Columbus, Indiana’s own Chris Long, Flynn Atkins, and Steve Thompson! If you’re a fan of Ban This, you will undoubtedly recognize those first two names from the infamous “Video iT uR’SelF” segment; arguably, if not definitely the first-ever “sponsor me tape" footage to end up being featured in a mainstream skate video. We sat down with Chris, Flynn, and their skate/filming buddy Steve (who, unbeknownst to pretty much everyone, actually had the first trick in that section) for an in-depth discussion on how it all came to pass. From their earliest days of skating, the Midwest contest scene, filming and submitting the footage that eventually made it into Ban This, the mythical call from Stacy, reconnecting after three decades, and a ton more- we leave no stone unturned in this epic chat. These three are the real deal, and we’re psyched for you to hear their story- so roll out the launch ramp and join us, shall you?

BBAS038: Mark Hunt (The SK8-TV Files Vol. 1)
Today, we are debuting a new segment here at The Bones Brigade Audio Show: the first installment of The SK8-TV files! Yes, by popular demand, we will be reviewing- sporadically- the entire thirteen-episode run of Nickelodeon’s legendary SK8-TV! Back in the olden days, when new skate videos were a once or twice a year affair, this Stacy Peralta and Craig Stecyk-masterminded basic cable opus acted as a much-needed lifeline of fresh viewing content for the seven ply-starved youth of America. Hosted by the one and only Skatemaster Tate and a young Matthew Lynn (who, as Matthew Lillard, would go on to an esteemed Hollywood acting career), SK8-TV lasted but a single season, yet left an undeniable mark on the world of skateboarding for an entire generation. To kick us off on our adventure, we are welcoming to the BBAS studio, Mark Hunt; a lynchpin of the SK8-TV operation from its inception that acted in multiple integral roles including Producer, Filmer, Editor, Show Advisor, and everything in between. Mark was kind enough to give us (and you!) the entire behind-the-scenes rundown on the show, from beginning to middle to end. It’s everything you could ever possibly want to know about SK8-TV and more- so grab a longboard, get yourself into the deep end and join us, shall you?

BBAS036: Chaos: The Alternate Edit
Welcome back to the show! This week we’re once again scratching our heads as we deal with another strange case of an alternate version of a Powell video that- much like the rough cut of “8” (see BBAS027)- somehow leaked its way out into the world. This time, it’s an altered version of 1992’s “Chaos”, featuring incredible, mostly-unseen parts by Eric Ricks, Mike Frazier, Paulo Diaz and others, along with numerous different songs and other randomly omitted oddities. How? Why? The mind boggles, but as always we do our best to break it all down. Fret not- for you too can view this new-school rarity by simply going to our YouTube channel, so tune in, like, subscribe, come along for the ride and join us- shall you?

We talk stunts, style, atmosphere, influence, and much more. What does it mean to play? As usual, there’s only one way to find out- so join us, shall you?

BBAS034: Robert Kittila (Intelligence Report Vol. 7)
For this seventh entry into our Intelligence Report interview series, we are welcoming to The Bones Brigade Audio Show none other than the infamous Robert Kittila! If you’re a Brigadeer from way-back-when, or listen to this show with any regularity, this name will surely be familiar to you. Now a two-time Emmy winning cinematographer and photographer, Robert cut his teeth in the industry working alongside Stacy Peralta, Craig Stecyk and Jim Fitzpatrick in Stacy’s famed Silverlake office. In addition to shooting and editing for Powell classics such as Public Domain, Ban This, Propaganda and more, Robert was a true innovator; designing and fabricating a number of unique filming devices that would take the art of skateboard filmmaking to new and previously-unseen levels.

Things remain in a state of chaos here at The Bones Brigade Audio Show, and this week Larry and Matt are once again joined by legendary Powell Peralta everyman, Jim Fitzpatrick, to try to get it all under control.

BBAS032: Chaos (Part 1) with guest Jim Fitzpatrick
On this mind-melting episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show, Matt and Larry welcome back, friend of the show, recently-inducted Skateboarding Hall of Famer and Powell-Peralta alum Jim Fitzpatrick, to discuss 1992's Chaos! Along with being one of our most-requested return guests and an unrivaled wealth of knowledge, Jim was an integral figure in the production of this video, serving in multiple roles as producer, director, cameraman, and editor. If you listened to our Ban This trilogy, you'll surely know that Jim is not one to hold back on the stories- and believe us, there are some doozies in here. Crank up the volume and buckle in for a chay-otic ride as the BBAS crew dive into yet another bygone 'Brigade classic. Good times are guaranteed, so cook up some potatoes and join us, shall you?

BBAS031: Video Tunes Vol. 2
Where have I heard that song before? It's a question we've all asked ourselves- and, in the case of the many classic Bones Brigade videos- these earworms are more than coincidental. Join us as we dive back into The BBAS' second foray into the fascinating world of Powell Peralta video tunes! Once again, we have six songs to put up side-by-side with their alleged originals for an auditory experience like no other. Are they A) covers? B) tributes? C) a clever way to score a skateboard video with popular songs while avoiding licensing costs? Or are they D) all of the above? You decide!

BBAS029: Pow Wow At Powell II
Welcome back to the show! This week, we’re taking a slight detour from our regularly scheduled programming for a fun review of the 1992 Pow Wow at Powell II NSA contest video! Is it technically a Bones Brigade video? Well, no- but it has “Powell” in the title, and that’s good enough for us. Held at the infamous Skate Zone back in February of 1992, Pow Wow is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in skateboarding, featuring some of the best up-and-comers of the 90’s going head to head with some of the best remaining established pros of the 80’s. We have Chris Senn, Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Wade Speyer, Jim Fitzpatrick, football-shaped decks, full pads, big pants, big tricks and vert wall insanity a’plenty, so focus that board in as many spots as possible and join us- shall you?

BBAS027: Eight: The Rough Cut with guest Brian Farrell
Here’s one we certainly had not anticipated! For this special episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show, we will be checking out material from the recently unearthed “rough cut” of Powell Peralta’s “8”- a video we reviewed just a few episodes ago. What is this rough cut, you ask? A listener reached out to let us know that he was in possession of what appeared to be a very rare version of 8 that was significantly different from the official release of the video as the world at large knows it, containing a multitude of parts that never made the final cut! Joining Matt and Larry in the studio is that very listener- friend of the show, Brian Farrell- to give us some backstory, and help us get into the weeds on several unknown clips from Sean Mortimer, Ray Barbee, Jeff Toland, Mike Daher, and more, along with some forgotten skits, fake commercials and other oddities! Don’t worry, though- for you too will be able to take it all in, as the Bones Brigade Audio Show YouTube channel is now live, and in addition to previous episodes of the show that we will be adding soon, this video is now uploaded for you to check out, with more exclusive content coming soon. Like, subscribe, and join us, shall you?

On this episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show, Larry and Matt are joined by reknowned skate and surf filmer/photographer Steve Sherman and pro skateboarder Jason Rothemeyer to get into the nitty gritty on the second Powell Peralta video of that year; the underappreciated and intentionally-misspelled Celebraty Tropical Fish. This one has it all! Never-before-heard tales of filming and production, behind-the-scenes tidbits, hilarious stories and trick analyses aplenty. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry… and maybe you’ll even go give it another watch, so hook that VCR back up and join us, shall you?

BBAS025: Anita Tessensohn (Intelligence Report Vol. 5)
We’re back with our fifth Intelligence Report episode here at The Bones Brigade Audio Show, and we couldn’t be more stoked- for joining us in the studio is none other than the legendary Anita Tessensohn! Featured prominently in one of Powell Peralta’s most iconic ads (1987’s “Some Girls Play With Dolls. Real Women Skate.”, which as of this recording is still being used by the company as a grip tape graphic) and game-changing videos (1988’s Public Domain), Anita’s skate career might have been cut short far too early, but as the first female street skater with a part in a major skate video, her contributions to skateboarding remain timeless and groundbreaking to this day. Tune in as we hear about Anita’s early days of skating in Oregon, getting sponsored, filming for Public Domain, riding for Powell while working at World Industries, and many more incredible tales. In addition, we’ll dip into an epic mailbag where some mind-blowing facts about the “Eight” video (check out our last episode) come to light. A wise woman once said “Anybody who wants to skate should skate”, so bust a kickflip off the nose and join us, shall you?

BBAS024: Eight with guest Brian Fair
Welcome back to the show! This week, the BBAS crew are dipping their toes- ever so slightly- into skateboarding’s mythical “new school” era, with an in-depth review of Powell Peralta’s often overlooked 1991 video Eight! Times they were a-changin’ in the early nineties, and Eight truly marks the end of an era for Powell, with several key team riders either left out of the video entirely or showcasing their final parts with the company as new brands, trends, styles and attitudes began to overwhelm the skateboarding status quo at an alarming rate. Joining Larry and Matt in the studio to tackle this beast is none other than Brian Fair, dreadlocked and grammy-nominated vocalist for the legendary bands Shadows Fall and Overcast- and certified lifelong skate rat of the highest order. Is there more to this video than Mike Frazier? Where are the skits? Where are the song lyrics? Is there anything Cab *can’t* do in the San Jose warehouse? As always, there’s only one way to find out- so preheat your oven to 425 degrees, toss in a tray of Mike McGill’s breaded fish sticks and join us, shall you?

BBAS017: Video Tunes
Welcome back, Brigadiers! This week on the Bones Brigade Audio Show, Larry and Matt hit the studio to examine a topic that has reared its head in numerous episodes: music! Or, to be more specific, what has been *perceived* by some guests and listeners with a keener ear as the *possible* appropriation of certain, shall we say, musical themes, found in songs recorded at the behest of a certain skateboarding company, soundtracking certain skateboarding videos…. Or something. We’re going to put these tracks side by side and check them out, and see just how far down this rabbit hole goes. Hey, it’s all in good fun, so come along for the ride! As always, we’ll dig into the mailbag, read some feedback, tell some tales, and have a good time. Join us, shall you?

Welcome back to The Bones Brigade Audio Show! This week, Larry and Matt sit down with UK-based artist Ed Syder to chat about yet another video that has flown mostly under the radar of the skateboarding public at large- the 1989 Stacy Peralta/Tim Simenon video, Attack. Alternately known as Skate Attack, or Videola, or Attack Videola, this short oddity of a video didn’t see a US release but made a big splash across the pond, mashing together tons of amazing unseen Powell Peralta video footage with a late-eighties dance club soundtrack and rapid-fire editing. A skate video? An art project? A test of human endurance? You decide! We also talk with Ed about his new Thrasher t-shirt design about to drop, and dip into the mailbag to hear what you, the listeners, have for us this week. Join us, shall you?

Welcome back! On this oddball episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show, Larry and Matt sit down to chat about the not-so-widely-known Bones Brigade World Tour ’89 promotional video.

Luckily, it’s available to watch online, so feel free to set your social media VCRs and follow along as we navigate this sixteen-minute skateboarding rarity. Join us, shall you?
