COLOREHDORSES

Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope that you all received what you wanted most from Santa, and are really taking this time to enjoy the company of family, friends, and more. Im sorry I havent been posting much lately, I just honestly havent had anything to update on.
But, I do have a tiny announcement today. Lets just say that colored horses is going to be permanently seeing things in a Higher Definition...

SUNDAY x SPITFIRE

Jp showed me a cell phone picture of these a while back, and since then I have been waiting for them. Well, although im not sure if the shop has them yet, I was pleasantly, well, extremely psyched to see this ad DLX put together for it. Ive never been more proud to say that Sunday is the shit that I support 110 percent.

Rest Assured,

Despite the increasingly inclement weather, filming is underway for YeahDude. Look, we have proof.







Damn 5-0. We got the shot though.
-Gritz

yeahdude crew goes filmin'

So yesterday, despite the cold weather and snow, Bobby, Kyle, Gritz and myself all went out and tried to film some stuff for the CH video. Although the day wasnt as successful as imagined, we still had some fun and got a couple clips. Im going to try and start working on a promo soon, so be on the lookout for that. Enjoy


Can you guess the trick?

raw 2/tumblr

Like I had said, Im going to keep trying to do these Raw Footage episode things since 1) winter is pretty much here and its freezing all the time and 2)were filming for yeahdude. In this part, some footage from the first few months or so of my getting my little panasonic camera back in 2006, aka Pre TCP era. Enjoy


On a different note, I just recently got myself a Tumblr. If you wanna read, listen, and watch some cool shit, then follow me over there. ZACHPAPE.TUMBLR.COM

Caruthers in the Raw

Since winter is right around the corner and I would like to continue doing video updates, im going to start posting some raw footage from different spots, people, points in time, whatever. I always felt watching Raw footage gives you more of an understanding of how hard a trick may be, and in general watching the original clip is always interesting in itself. Enjoy part 1, Caruthers

Gettin up in LA

Hey guys. Hope you enjoyed the caruthers video below, we had alot of fun making it.
Anyways, a good friend of mine, Keith, is now on a trip out in SoCal, visiting his uncle and checking out the scene. Today he sent me this picture of the Hollywood Walk of fame...I think its a possibility that we may see a legit one in the next few years.



In other news, we got a crew together right now to film for the first Colored Horses video titled yeah dude! or yeah dude... whatever. Filming hard or hardly filming..you be the judge

Caruthers Fall Montage

As you may have known, we have been skating at Caruthers ledgespot quite a bit, and all decided to film for a montage. Here it is! Features Chad Cavallaro, Zach Pape, Bobby Borton, James Ravage, Dustin Finley, Brandin Davis, Steve Greig, Steve Golonka, and Matt Hammer. Enjoy and skate as much as you can, winter is soon!

plunkett on the berrics

If you know me, you know Im a super supporter when it comes to anything NT local related, so seeing this was just pure awesome. Dan Plunkett, who actually happens to be from North Tonawanda, just had a bangin! over at the berrics. I dont know Dan personally, but from what Ive heard from friends of his that I skate with, Im gunna go ahead and say this was all first try. Keep it up Dan, your making NT proud!

keifer tf footage

Andy over at Sunday just threw up a video of team rider, Keifer Laboy, skating their old training facility. Keifer kills it, and this video is just a small example of that.



A buddy of mine, Jon Plarr, also just made up his own blog site titled "Flow Films". Be sure to check that site out for all of what him and his crew has going on, im sure he will be updating it regularly. Flow Films

Them times are a changing

So if you havent noticed lately, the weather is taking quite the turn. Its been getting cold, rainy, windy, and the worst part, darker. These are the times when you need to find a well lit skatespot, and pack extra layers..(check out the newly remodeled high school, way fun).
Anyways,filming for the Caruthers fall montage is soon to be wrapping up, and so far its looking like its going to be one of our best yet. At the same time, filming for YEAHDUDE! is in full force also, expect a trailer for that by hopefully Thanksgiving.

In other news, Sunday recently premiered the new Habitat and Krook3d videos, and if you werent there, you certainly missed out. Be sure to go by the shop and pick up a copy of each, you wont be disapointed.

Keep checking back to the site and hang in there, the best has yet to come...or worst? time will tell.

stephen golonka

As james said, this is our future teacher of America. If you wonder what weve been up to, we have all been filming and skating a ton for the new caruthers montage. Will be super good.

The Cave Remembers / New

Hey pals, if you havent heard already, good horses friend Keith Batug, recently just transformed his garage into a "man cave", complete with a dvd projector and 10 foot movie screen. To crissen this bad boy, this saturday(the 9th) at around 8-9 pm, the cave is presenting a special event;The Cave Remembers:TCP. All TCP montages will be shown on the big screen(including doc), being followed by HOT DIRT possibly. Deffinately make it out, let me know if you want to come.

In other news, Kyle just put in a lot of hard work over at carruthers, building some new inclines. I also put in a new parking block ledge too, which you can kind of see in the picture below. See some of you saturday!

Some unused footage

Hey pals. After finishing off that little dunkirk video below, I decided to scan through the hard drive and see if there was any footage that I havent used. Like I expected, there were a few clips, some newer, some dating back to summer 2009s ledgespot montage. Anyways, I through them together real quick, and below is the result

Horses get dunkirkd

The crew went down to cliffstar skatepark, aka, dukirk skatepark on saturday for a fun session before the cold really hits. Well, despite the super windiness, and how cold it actually was, the guys filmed a couple clips for the below video. If you think you see jake bean in there, dont rub your eyes. Its him, hes back. Shredding. Watch the video below! Keep skating, winter is sooner then you think...

Are we alive?

Yes. Were still here, and trust me, If I could update this bad boy more often, then id be doing it. But alas, with nothing to talk about, why update it? I wish I could say that we have a video in the works, which in a sense we do, but without a camera then its kind of a downer. I wish I could say that new photos are coming, but they are not at this point. Dont think that were not skating, we are, just like I said, nothing to update on. Dunkirk tomorrow, with a camera...expect new video soon. keep skating, come find me at the shop or caruthers...

Recently a few of the guys drove out to the dunkirk skatepark, AKA, cliffstar skatepark(I think?) to get our skate on and have a good time. The drive is about an hour or so, but I must say it is for sure worth the trip. While there, I had Isaiah and Kyle film a few tricks on Isaiahs ipod. Check out this mini video below. Enjoy summer!

Photo Show via Kedz/Save the date

Awesome stuff right here. Homie of mine, Jacob Kedzierski (editor to shows such as dog the bounty hunter, parking wars, etc., and a skateboarder born and raised in NT) is coming back from NYC to show off his photo show at the NT History Museum. The museum is going to be showing his photos of NT all the month of August, but the opening day is August 2nd, and there will be a reception from 5-7pm that night. Jake is an awesome guy, with quite the talent, and has made a real impact on NT in his years. Show some respect, come on down to webster st sometime that month, and check his stuff for sure!

Skateboarding Day 2010

Like Sunday says, you dont need a hallmark holiday to skate, but over in NT and across the world, we do it anyways. On monday a good group of the NT shredders went out and did just that..skated all day. The day gave us a fair share of stories to be talked about for years, but Ill have to leave that for another time. For now, heres some pictures shot by Colored Horses Associate, Gritz.
