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

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.

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
