The Bones Brigade Audio Show Larry Ransom

Interested in getting started with this whole skateboarding thing, but not sure where to begin? We’ve all been there. Luckily, the days of trying to figure it all out on your own ended long ago, thanks to the advent of skating’s most notable entertainment underdog, the often-overlooked instructional video! Today, Larry and Matt are back in the BBAS studio to delve into the belly of the beast, as we discuss Powell Skateboards’ year-2000 export, Basic Training. Indeed, by the time you’re done with this video (and, of course, this podcast) you’ll be ollieing like Danny Wainwright, nosesliding like Moses Itkonen, frontside 50-50’ing like Steve Caballero, and barking orders like Sergeant Slam! The platoon is shipping out to Camp Motherhood at first light, so grab your duffle bag, show me fifty tick-tacks and join us- shall you?

“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?

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?

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?

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?
