procrastinate now: meet matt pepe

Matt Pepe reminds me a lot of myself back when I was filming for City Without Spots before Homebase was open.
He works, goes to school and spends all his free time skating, shooting photos and filming.  Not just at the local spots and plaza, but he’s always traveling to Philly, NJ and NYC with his [...]

procrastinate not: deal with it

Sometimes things just fall together. The SkoolKill Crew holds it down in the hometown of our favorite PA beer, Yuengling and Deal With It is their newest video . . . well, sort of.
“Deal With It” is a collection of old and new footage filmed and edited by Don Reed featuring Joel Wood, Matt Rathman, [...]

procrastinate now: where the heart is

Max put up the first 2 videos that came out before Homebase opened, “City Without Spots” and “Kill the Filmer” a long time ago but I never got around to putting up the rest until now.
“Where the Heart Is” was the last video we put out with our shop team and homies from all over [...]

procrastinate now: meet trip brown

Trip Brown be trippin’.
That was the first thing came to mind when I started this post.  I erased it but figured it  actually made sense.  Trip is one of the funniest people I know as well as a talented filmer/editor.  Not to mention he handles himself pretty damn well on his board.
THANKFULLY, Trip is [...]

It seems like everyone is filming with a VX, an HD-something, DLS-whatever or even their cell phone.  With YouTube and Vimeo its easy to show your homies or the world what you’re filming too.  As far as local skating goes, we try our best to give local skaters and filmers some shine in these “Procrastinate [...]

7 til days the 7th Halloween Skate Jam.  here’s a look back…

7 years?  REALLY?!
When you look at the old photos and videos you can actually see people growing up over the years.  It’s a rad feeling to know we’ve been a part of some lives for that long . . . or it makes us feel old.
Peep some of the videos from the previous Halloween Skatejams [...]

while you were sleeping: shop showdown at the reid menzer skatepark

Earlier this month Exist Skateshop hosted a shop team contest at the Reid Menzer Skatepark in York, PA to raise money for lights at their park.  A crew from Homebase went out to show some support. 
Props to the Homebase Crew: John Shanahan, Eric Elliot, Brandon Sandt and Nik Stain that rolled out to [...]

procrastinate now: did you miss the omit demo?

Were you waiting in this line?
The clip has been out for a while but just in case you missed the Omit team shredding the plaza live or in HD. . . . here’s the clip.
I guess they will slowly be leaking the street footage that filmed out here since it wasn’t in the tour [...]

while you were sleeping: the omit northest drive-by stop at homebase

So it’s been a week since The Omit crew was out at Homebase and it’s still pretty mind blowing to think about it all.  I can’t wait to see the footage and photos Omit will eventually put out documenting their first tour but for now, here’s a little compilation of the photos and footage already [...]


hello from colonge. . . or koln.

hello from colonge. . . or koln.

Cologne was all about German beer from the moment we arrived thanks to Thilo and his friend Thilo.  They were the German drinking team and Andy Colbert and I were the US team.  I didn’t pass out standing up in a dance club so I’m not afraid to say we won this match.
What else goes [...]

the berrics agenda: day five

Walked out of Ryan’s apartment into the sun with a full day just to skate- official Agenda business is all wrapped up for the trip.  Thanks for letting us crash Ryan.
Good thing John is little because we shoved him in the back of the truck.
Breakfast at Urth Cafe. Maybe my only healthy meal on this [...]

summer signals: deep fried food fest 2011

If you live in the Lehigh Valley- especially Bethlehem, then Musikfest is your unofficial end of Summer before today, the country’s unofficial end Summer.  10 Days of live music, local music, public drinking, teens getting their first underage offense, deep fried food vendors, good friends and good times.
Even though I’m a transplant into this town, [...]

a quick hello from masstricht.

Just because I’m out here in Europe doesn’t mean I can’t update the website.
After almost 24 hours in transit thanks to Hurricane Irene rerouting me I made it to Masstricht in the Netherlands and met up with Andy Colbert.
Been spending a lot of time hanging out where Andy’s working- The Bonnefanten Museum where he and [...]

The Poon Crew got a special congratulations message from Stereo Skateboards owner/pro, Fuel TV host, WESC Activist, artist and all around good DUNE dude, Chris Pastras for their winning Burrito, Boards & Bro’s video clip on top of the $400 shopping spree they won.

the berrics agenda: day four

Day Two of Agenda was a bit of a blur. . . everyone moves a little slower after that first night of partying. After all my appointments I walked out to the beach.

The US Open of surfing and Converse Coastal Carnage was all happening that week.
Boardwalk Foxx.
Fakie tre flip in human traffic.
Converse sets up [...]

atown trash premiere tonight

Our 2 wheeled homies are going to be taking over the Southside tonight.
The long awaited premiere of the A-Town Trash video is happening tonight next door to Homebase at Sotto Santi’s Pizzaria.  It’s 21 & Up only but that doesn’t mean all you kiddies can’t stand on the sidewalk and peek in the windows.

the berrics agenda trip: day one

I just realized I never finished my post last year when I went to California.  Oops- I’ll try to do better this year. It seems like I’ve been finding myself out in California like clockwork and that’s all thanks to the Agenda Tradeshow.
A few weeks ago I spent 2 days in NYC and this past [...]

monday night saugy session today . . . weather permitting

Depending on the weather we’re hoping to hold today’s Monday Night Saugy Session at Keck Park at 5pm.
I apologize that Week 8’s Saugy S.K.A.T.E. Showdown matches aren’t up yet.  The video was so glitched out that I’m trying to piece together something that’s watchable still.
This week’s Saugy S.K.A.T.E. Showdown take us into the 2nd round [...]


procrastinate now: a stereo perspective

procrastinate now: a stereo perspective

Stereo Skateboards has a long and respected catalog of videos that changed the way skateboard videos were made and watched.  From the skaters they sponsored to the music accompanying the tricks to the artistic direction of films, Stereo did it differently than most.
So as you’re filming your clip for the Burrito, Boards & Bro’s [...]


for all your modern needs

for all your modern needs

Lost Soul Skateboards represents a good portion of what’s lacking in skateboarding . . . in my mind at least.
They and all the other skateboard brands that decide they want their board company to have a certain feel, go in a specific art direction and represent a style of skateboarding make skating unique.  So [...]
