October 20, 2011Danny Falla In 5Boro’s South American Vacation
April 11, 2011“South American Vacation” is only a fitting description for those whose other option is filming on bitterly cold late winter days in NYC. Danny Falla joined the rest of the 5boro team on their latest tour below the waistline of the American continent. They pillaged Peru, Colombia, and Chile. Filmed and edited by Tombo Colabraro.
14 Tries & 14 Years: Aaron Harrison For Broadcast
March 23, 2011Fourteen years ago, Zero Skateboards released the instant hit video Thrill Of It All (1997). Despite the great lineup on the Zero team, the comparatively unknown Aaron Harrison had one of the most talked-about parts in the whole video. If you’ve seen it, you know exactly what we’re referring to. The munificent BS 180s, the high speed bank bombs, the cranium-bonk-to-viewer-cringe, and of course the notorious 14 attempts at the shipping container ollie to bank. The Who turned down the volume on their serenading amps just enough to allow the sound of Aarons fortitude push him to the 15th try and make. Call the doctor…

DIY Week in San Diego
November 24, 2010The fine gents at TypicalCulture.com have just put up the latest documentation of DIY Week, which is much better than Shark Week. Lots of good shredding went down in the shadows of SD County. Click here for more shredding from Shane Cox (photo below by Brian Walnum) and Connor Getzlaff.
Broadcast Yo Self: Marcell Herd (OCTOBER CHAMPION)
October 26, 2010Marcell has class (check the nonchalant adjustment of the spectacles after each trick,) and enough of it that he stood out to become the October winner of Broadcast Yo Self!. We basically sift through our submissions each month (to submit, simply send us your YouTube or Vimeo link on this page and put “RADCAST” in the subject line) and choose one unlucky brute to partake in the awesomeness that will be known throughout cyber eternity as Broadcast YoSelf. It’s certainly not going to make anybody famous, but we all enjoy some skate inspiration. In addition to the dishonor of appearing on thisisabroadcast.com, the winning skater each month will likely start getting phone calls from potential department store sponsors and babes in burlap bikinis. Check back in a few to see next month’s winner. Ya herd?
Broadcast Yo Self: Jeremy McNamara (SEPTEMBER CHAMPION)
September 4, 2010Out of all the submissions we received in August, this video stood out above the rest.

Million, Billion, Trillion, Centillion
August 14, 2010If this is the level of skating that is passed off as merely “worth mentioning… but honorably”, I think the future is looking mighty bright. Or on the other hand, maybe it is a sign of skate society reaching a dark zenith that it has reached before, prior to collapse. Like the idea that a star is brightest right before it explodes into a million pieces from overcombustion. Sometimes I pretend that because of the complexity and advancement of trick skating, the entire concept of maneuver-based skating will eat itself and digress (or progress) back to the initial skateboarding palette of carving, knee cruising, and miniature ollies, once again establishing the truth that we are all just a bunch of kids looking for something fun to do (regardless of how long we have been skating or how “good” we are at doing it). Maybe I am just thinking too much and I should just enjoy this rad montage from our friends at SLAP Magazine, featuring the talents of a hundreds of skaters fighting for the title of One In A Million. Enjoy your weekend.
