Joining us for this in-depth review of Episode 9 is none other than Kevin Marks, the mastermind documentarian behind the venerable Look Back Library , skateboarding’s incredible global preservation network for print media.

Greetings, Brigadiers! We’re partying like it’s episode 99 here at BBASHQ with a review of the 2012 Stacy Peralta documentary, Bones Brigade: An Autobiography . Highly anticipated upon its release- arriving late in the wake of 2001’s pivotal Dogtown and Z-Boys - the film follows not just the revolutionary impact arc the “big six” had on skateboarding in the 1980’s- from massive bowl contests to haphazard events on splintery backyard ramps to sold-out arenas- but the previously unseen and highly emotional undercurrent of navigating the rivalries, insecurities, egos and vulnerabilities that came with their unexpected rise to skate stardom. As always, we get into it all, so hop into the back of the Volvo and join us- shall you?

Welcome, friends, to season four of The Bones Brigade Audio Show! To kick things off in style, we are welcoming to the show the one and only Aaron Meza- legendary Bay Area skate filmmaker, former Girl visual media manager, and even former editor of Skateboarder Magazine - to discuss a topic near and dear to all our hearts: Future Primitive! Or, to be more specific, Powell Peralta’s 2012 *Special Edition* of Future Primitive. Come along as we untangle Stacy’s director commentary, the 30-minute “Feature Primitive” mini documentary, behind-the-scenes footage from the Blue Tile Lounge world premiere back in 1985, and a forgotten track by the Rad Man himself. Is she really skatin’ boards with him? There’s only one way to find out. Join us, shall you?

Today on the Bones Brigade Audio Show, the big fat ollie one-foots are being thrown down with reckless abandon as we welcome back the one and only Frankie Hill- along with skateboarding legend Nate Sherwood- to discuss the 2011 Frankie Hill Documentary ! Before the world knew the likes of Pat Duffy, Andrew Reynolds or John Cardiel, Frankie Hill was hurling himself down giant stair sets and massive gaps with a borderline-psychotic level of commitment that helped redraw the entire map of street skating. Sherwood’s documentary peels back the curtain on Frankie’s meteoric rise, the toll his all-in approach took on his body, and the darker side of the industry- where riders sometimes become expendable once the injuries stack up. As usual, we get into the weeds on all of it- the inspiration behind its creation, tales from the making-of, and the documentary’s legacy; shining a light on the lasting influence of a skateboarder who pushed limits long before everyone else caught up.

Welcome back, carnivores and amphibians! It’s time for yet another delve into the mysterious world of the SK8-TV Files, this time with the oddly themed Episode 8- better known as “the animal show”. Heavily Powell-centric, this offering contains interviews with Tommy Guerrero, Salman Agah at the short-lived outdoor Skate Zone, one of the greatest Lance Mountain interviews ever committed to tape, and plenty of recycled ‘Brigadery, from the dubiously-renamed Scooter Race from Ban This to a reappearance of Sidney the Bulldog from Public Domain . True to its name, peppered throughout the show is also a hearty, if perhaps unnecessary dose of animal-related content, a sighting of the fabled Steve Salisian, and much more.

Hot on the heels of our last episode, today we welcome back to the studio the inimitable Kurt Crucial and Rich Wilson for the thrilling conclusion of our two-part series on Kurt’s comprehensive The Search For Animal Chin Filming Locations video! From here, the BBAS crew ventures to the site of a fictional Las Vegas nightclub (located inside what is essentially an enclosed Southern California patio) and down some winding desert roads to a field outside the equally-fictional town of Guadeloupe where the monolithic Chin Ramp once stood, however briefly. Is the entrance to the Blue Tile Lounge now a small unisex restroom? Does “x” still mark the spot? Is 800 really Bakersfield? The backside ollie party is about to start- so join us, shall you?

In the beginning... A man named Johnny Rad donned a tuxedo jacket and sunglasses, and opened skateboarding's first night club, the Blue Tile Lounge. He crooned. Fans followed, and a musical revolution was born. But one day, dark forces began to invade the skateworld. The Blue Tile Lounge was forced to shut its doors- its whereabouts lost, seemingly forever. Hardcore skaters mourned its absence, and true believers sought out the missing location of this legendary venue. Among these seekers were a duo called The Bones Brigade Audio Show. They knew the only way to find a hardcore skate lounge was to ask the world’s most hardcore skaters, and began their search in California... at a place called Venice... Join us, shall you?

We talk about how they met, their early days of skateboarding, the contest scene in the Pacific Northwest, what they’ve both been up to since, and tons more.
