Sorry guys! I kind of forgot about this website for a while and havent been doing any updates. But that doesnt mean there hasnt been a lack of skateboarding. About a month ago (actually a month from today according to youtube) I threw this little video together that has the majority of footage shot for YEAHDUDE in it. YEAHDUDE is basically dead in the water, but I really want to try and get some type of video together soon.

In other news, Sunday put out their 3rd video titled "Whatever the Weather" a bit over a month ago. If you didnt get a chance to see it, dont worry, they now are selling it over on their website. Below is Jake and Dans part from the video. Definitely worth a watch (or twelve).

I just recently had an old roll of film developed, and plan on putting some of those photos on here within the next couple days. The weather is starting to turn so get as much skating in as possible!

Sunday Video/YEAHDUDE news

2011-08-22T14:59:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. As you've already learned, I slack pretty hard with these updates, but hey, it could be worse? Anyways, if you werent living under a rock then you would of been at the SundayBuffalo premier of their video Whatever the Weather. If you missed out, then you suck, but dont worry, they will for sure be selling copies within the next few weeks. Andy and everyone did and awesome job with the video, it was absolutely perfect. If you look close enough, youll even see a cameo from myself and Colored Horses homie Steve Golonka.

In YEAHDUDE news, there has been a bit of a change of plans on how the video will be done. Originally we were going to a full length video with full parts from myself, James Ravage, Bobby Borton, and Kyle Rogers. Well with James working a ton, Bobby and Kyle not skating as much, and I have the opportunity to film for a seperate video, this video has been changed into more of a big montage video. We are going to keep filming, but the video will be more in the style of SOGNAR, which was an all iPod filmed video by my buddy Wes Adamski. Let me assure YEAHDUDE will still be happening! Soon enough it will come out..maybe. Keep skating, and keep enjoying the weather! We all know what is about to come in a few months..

Whatever the Weather!

2011-08-09T19:08:00.000-07:00

Well its been 3 years in the making now, but the guys at Sunday did it. Friday, August 19th at Soundlab, "Whatever the Weather", Sundays third video premiers. Doors are at 8, video is at 9. Be sure to get there early!! The place only holds about 250 people and it will be sure to get full quick. Everyone has worked so hard on this and from what i've heard, its pretty mindblowing. See you next Friday!

Whatever the Weather bonus segment 3

2011-07-15T23:02:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone is killing it this summer! Alot of skating has been happening, and definitely some filming too. I cant say too much for a release on YEAHDUDE, but we are looking at late fall...
Anyways, if you havent been living under a rock, then you know the Sunday guys have been filming for their new video titled "Whatever the Weather" for the past 3 or so years, and its actually just about done. There still isnt a date yet, but something tells me its coming sooner than you may think.... In the mean time though, my friend and awesome dude Andy Maholsic put together another great bonus montage with footage not being used in the video. Watch on repeat and get out there and kill it!

Fort Erie park!

2011-07-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as I have been. The crew has been doing a ton of skating, and slowly is beginning to get some clips for YEAHDUDE. If you havent already heard, right over the peace bridge in Fort Erie, lies an awesome brand new cement park. Its litearlly a 15 minute drive from the shop, so naturally all the dudes down there have been going to it quite often. My buddy and fellow filmer/editor/pro grip tape applier, Andy Maholsic has been releasing a ton of web videos lately, including 3 from the Fort Erie park! Andy is a super awesome dude, and is very talented with the camera, and to go with that is some awesome skating also. So check out some videos below, and keep enjoying the sun!

Hey guys! Sorry I havent updated this in a while, been really busy skating and such. If you didnt make it to our jam last sunday than you missed out! We had a ton of fun, ate alot of food, and most importantly, skated all day. Im thinking of doing another later on, so stay tuned.

Anyways, if you dont know by now, my buddy Andrew Gritzmacher has bee coming on all the skate missions lately, and been taking some digital and film pics. This first blast all digital. Click to enlarge, enjoy!

Steve and I did a couple lines yesterday...below is the result

a DELUXE skate jam

2011-05-28T17:21:00.000-07:00

For those of you who came and knew about last years jam, you would then know that Sunday and Elwood clothing were kind enough to sponsor it and help hook up some product for it. This year, Deluxe Distribution has stepped in and agreed to hook up the jam with some stuff to psych out the kids and others. If you havent been living under a rock then you would know that DLX consists of Real, Spitfire, Thunder, Anti-Hero, and Krooked. I have been supporting Deluxe for years now and am beyond psyched about this! So get ready, June 19th is coming sooner than you think!!!

Dunkirk in HD

2011-05-25T20:34:00.001-07:00

My buddy Andy from Sunday Skateshop just put up this video of some of the Buffalo heads skating the free Dunkirk park. Its a fun little video to start of the summer skating season, and has some really cool clips in it! And to mention its also shot in all HD! Check it below!

Photo Blast

2011-05-16T17:09:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. As I've said, since spring hit we have all been out skating, and trying to get our tricks back. Gritz came out for a couple sessions at Carruthers and shot the photos you see below. Enjoy!

2011 Skate Jam!

2011-05-14T08:32:00.001-07:00

I posted this on facebook already, but now you can see it here! The annual 2011 Summer Skate Jam will be at the Carruthers Ledgespot this year,and starts at 1pm. The day is Sunday, June 19th. No rain dates have been set yet, but its still a while away. Be sure to not miss it! If you were at last years jam then you know how fun it is! More will be posted as time goes on.

quick update

2011-05-10T18:59:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. As you know, spring is finally here (even showing small hints of summer..?), and the skate season is underway. My good buddy and NT skateboarding "alumnist" Jake Kedzierski, was back in town last week, and stopped by Carruthers to skate with myself and Hammer. Like usual, he had his cameras and what not with him and got a couple shots off.

In other news, there has been talk of another Summer skate jam like that of last years in June...Not too much has been decided, but the date of JUNE 19TH has been tossed around. More updates on that soon.

Building begins..again

2011-05-02T04:52:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. With spring pretty much about here, and summer on the way, that means that its time to begin building up the Carruthers ledgespot again. This past saturday myself and some guys went over there and cleaned up everything, and even began to rebuild the bills ledge (Hammer and I underestimated it and didnt get enough blocks). The parking block ledge is back up right now also. Rest assured more and more building will be happening within the next month or so, and definitely expect to see some new things this summer, we have alot of ideas in store..enjoy the weather!

Let me asure you there's good reason to it though...Anyways, my buddy JON PLARR has been filming for this xtreme-wheels montage for the last few months of winter, and just dropped it last night.

Sunday turns 6!

2011-03-31T18:33:00.000-07:00

Can you believe they have been open for 6 years now(april 1st, officially)? Since day one, they have been supporting the skateboard scene in Buffalo, and standing by the same philosophy that everyone should be behind. Sunday is more than just skateboarding, it's a family, and I'm glad to say I am a part of something so positive and great. So hats off to you JP,and anyone and everyone who stands behind them. Happy 6 and many more!!

SINCE DAY ONE!

2011-03-24T18:40:00.001-07:00

If you are anything like me, then this is something you have been waiting anxiously for a long time now. I knew Sunday was premiering this for a while now, but the date is finally set. MARK YOUR CALENDARS EVERYONE! APRIL 11th at SOUNDLAB. 8pm. Admission to get in is a 2$ - 5$ donation (in which ALL funds go to the Jonny Kicks Cancer fund). Buffalos own Jake Donnelly is going to have his first standout part in this, and from what I have heard, his part is absolutely insane. Along with Jake, is the rest of the Real team, including Justin Brock, Pete Ramondetta, Chima Ferguson, Dennis Busenitz and many more. Do not miss this!! This is one of the most anticipated videos in years!
This is going to be jam packed, so it wouldnt hurt to show up a bit early..

Happy Spring!

2011-03-21T22:12:00.001-07:00

Hey guys! My apologies on not updating this lately. Since spring is officially here, the crew and myself have all been out skating as much as possible, just trying to grind off the winter rust and get the ball back rolling again. Let me assure you though that the Colored Horses Full Length Video is officially underway. Keep checking back for occasional video and photo updates.

In other news, I recently obtained an iPhone and have been posting random pictures on my flickr. They arent all skate related, but definitely expect to see some skateboarding stuff sooner or later.

jake kedzierski and dirt part 2

2011-02-27T18:26:00.000-08:00

If you were an avid follower on the old HR media blog, you wouuldve seen a post with some old skate clips out of NT. The guy who threw that together is a buddy of mine, and NT native, Jacob Kedzierski. Recently, he put up the sequel to the video that him and his crew made back in the early-mid 90's, titled DIRT. If you arent from NT this may have no value to you, but its a cool watch none the less!

First nice day of the year!

2011-02-16T16:33:00.000-08:00

Finally! Spring gave us a little teaser today, and pretty much all pavement was dry. Not taking this for granted, james, myself, kyle and bobby all went out to the farmers market, set up a couple things and skated. The below video is the result of that. What a great way to start off the new year! Watch it in HD for extra awesome

weekend dan

2011-02-01T16:07:00.001-08:00

Hey guys, hopefully the winter hasn't been getting to you too hard, spring is kind of soon..Anyways, last week I skated the ramp with some guys, of course everyone was killing. But, Dan Loughery in specific was on another level. Naturally, I went home and did the american thing and added him on facebook, and while lurking around I noticed that he does some super rad art. In fact, I thought it was so rad that I decided to buy a couple prints from him. Long story short, Dan kills it on and off a skateboard, and his art is way awesome, and way cheap. Buying a few prints would be a solid idea..check him out.

2011-01-19T06:13:00.000-08:00

If your anything like me, then when your not out skating, your surfing the internet, reading up on skateboarding blogs, videos and what not. NYskateboarding.com is one of those sites that I visit relatively often, and rightfully so! The dudes who run this post up a ton of cool NY skateboarding related videos, photos, events and more. They even posted our banner for our pretty successful june 13th ledgespot jam, and even more recently, Colored Horses was added to their list of NY media blogs. Thanks NY Skateboarding! Keep doing it right.

Some lost TCP

2011-01-16T09:45:00.000-08:00

You know when I start uploading old footage that it usually means im becoming desperate on the video updates, but this time I was only somewhat desperate. I looked through a few of my old TCP tapes (I have about 12 of them, spanning 9 months let me remind you), and these two never before seen clips popped out instantly. Watch and enjoy. Spring is just around the corner!

quick update

2011-01-04T18:39:00.001-08:00

If you subscribe to me on youtube, or maybe my facebook friend, you may have seen me post up a couple test videos for the new HD camera. So far its looking really nice. With a new camera, comes a new fisheye also, which ive recently ordered. So expect not only better edited videos this year, but way better quality. You've never seen Colored Horses quite like this..

SUNDAY x SPITFIRE

2010-12-11T16:40:00.000-08:00

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,

2010-12-05T10:04:00.000-08:00

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'

2010-12-04T22:25:00.000-08:00

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

2010-11-29T15:17:00.000-08:00

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

2010-11-21T09:01:00.000-08:00

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

2010-11-14T17:20:00.001-08:00

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

2010-11-04T12:56:00.001-07:00

2010-10-28T16:13:00.000-07:00

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!

2010-10-28T08:58:00.000-07:00

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

2010-10-25T09:12:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-10-12T19:10:00.001-07:00

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.

2010-09-29T09:03:00.000-07:00

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

2010-09-26T16:05:00.001-07:00

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?

2010-09-24T15:18:00.001-07:00

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!

2010-07-18T11:28:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-06-24T09:36:00.001-07:00

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.

HAPPY 2 YEARS

2010-06-06T07:53:00.000-07:00

2 years ago Jimmy Rea and myself swept out an abandoned tennis court and then skated in it for the next 9 months. This place came to be known as TCP. Today, June 6th is the 2 year anniversary since jimmy and i started it, so in honor of that, Im going to be doing commentary on most of the montages throughout the week. Here is montage 4, with commentary from myself.

VICEVERSA

2010-06-04T16:43:00.001-07:00

Im suprised it took this long to get on youtbue, but i was searching jakes name, and I guess it finally ended up on there. So here you go guys, the part that basically gave jake the win for SLAPS contest, and now is on real. Jake Donnelly-Vice Versa

And some more coverage for the jam

2010-06-02T03:45:00.000-07:00

Like ive said, this skate jam seems to be getting alot of coverage lately, wether its by word of mouth, facebook, sundays website, or now, another state-wide skateboarding site. NY Skateboarding just posted up the event on the 13th as one of the upcoming events in the state to check out and go skate at. I gotta give a big thanks to Jon Plarr for hooking this one up. Check the link right here- http://www.nyskateboarding.com/events/events.html. See you at the jam!

Of course we will be skating the day away, as well as cooking up some dogs and burgers and maybe even more. Sunday and Elwood were both nice enough to sponsor the event, and sunday even threw up a post about it on their Website. So make sure you save the date, take off work, skip church, do whatever you can to make it to this, as it will be a blast, i guarantee! Later!

2010-05-16T18:30:00.000-07:00

Damn. Ive been psyched on Chad since i started skating(and when he still skated for Popwar..are they around even). I remember absolutely loving his A time to shine part, and then waiting for another full part of his to drop. Element may not be the best board company in certain aspects, but they have a gem in this guy.

2010-05-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

A few of us NT guys have actually skated the ramp, and let me say this : if anything in this world is perfect, its that. Check out the doc, and enjoy skateboading.

Ledgespot is coming along!

2009-08-10T18:51:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates lately, but i havent had much to say honestly. Anyways, the NT ledgespot is really starting to come along well. We have about 8-9 things to skate there now i believe, ranging from a long parking block ledge(new favorite) to a 12 foot long higher cinder block ledge, and a small manhole gap, with a nice box, pole jam, and love seat(i think thats the term) mixed in. Usually people are always there throughout the day, as long as its dry, but the majority of the guys come from arounbd 4-8 when it cools down and the shade starts setting in. If you plan on coming, make sure to come with a big bottle of water as its hot as all hell no matter what!

The boy was back in town!

2009-07-22T18:42:00.000-07:00

Whats up guys, I finally got some new photos for you. Recently, my good friend, and local NT skatboarding alumni, Jacob Kedzierski, came into town, to hang with old friends, and catch up with some new. He brought his little minox film camera along, and got some great shots! Check them out below, and enjoy the rest of canal fest

HotER Dirt

2009-07-15T19:11:00.000-07:00

Well, Im a bit scared to admit this one, but yes, the rumors are true, a sequel to HOT DIRT is being filmed currently. We have a large slew of ideas for this one, and let me tell you, it will indeed surpass the first. With that said, eric hughes and the rest of the guys filmed a little skit the other day, and he sent it over to me. Watch and enjoy.

Skate Jam/NT Ledgespot

2009-07-10T17:41:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, there has not been much to update with as of late, since my firewire broke and gritz hasnt developed anything new yet, but new videos and photos are in the works right now and should be cool. If you havent heard, our friends over at Sunday Skateshop are holding a skate jam over at their ledgespot on sunday, with Jake Donnelly and the rest of the guys. I will be there, along with a few NT heads, and Im sure itll be sick.

On another note about ledgespots, NTs very own ledgespot, a.k.a. The Gutnichts, has been coming along good. Im open to any donation you have so just let me know. Hope to see you sunday.

2009-06-29T17:17:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, this is our first official, "new content" post. A real good friend of mine, Andy Gritzmacher, recently took some pictures with his camera that his father gave him. Hes still getting the hang of it, so give him some slack. Im sure he will be taking more and more over the summer, so be on a look out for some of his content. Enjoy

Welcome

2009-06-27T10:21:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the new blog site, of Zach Pape. Before this, there was HolyreaMedia, but now since Jimmy Rea does not take pictures, nor skate barely, I decided to venture off on my own. What Colored Horses will be, is just a simple site, to update you guys, with videos and photos from NT. There are no certain members of this, anyone and everyone can have their stuff on the site. Its that simple. Colored Horses is skateboarding, Colored Horses is North Tonawanda.Keep Checking back for video and photo updates of all sorts.

To get it started off, I posted up some of the more popular videos from Holyrea below this. To see more videos, go to vimeo.com/zachpape or youtube.com/zachpape.
