BUTTERTV PRESENTS: Winterclash 2023 - The Catch Up BUTTER TV 2024-02-19 | “…Why try to fit in when you were born to stand out.” —Kevon Big Homie Biz ThompsonEindhoven, Netherlands - February 9th-11th, 2023. After a physical two year hiatus Winterclash returns to a newly renovated Area 51. All the feels come back with this one as it really was a time for catching up.

BUTTERTV PRESENTS: Justin Brasco - Cardiac Arrest BUTTER TV 2023-11-13 | "I said it before and I'll say it again: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." – Ferris BuellerMiami, Florida/New York City - After many delays and missed deadlines we finally release this very special piece on a very special day so be sure to wish Justin a Happy Birthday in the comments. We’ve spent a short amount of time in Florida to avoid some cold days of a harsh winter then met up for a handful of sessions in our hometown of New York throughout the spring and summer. Some days were simple while others were chaotic and that’s how we love it—spontaneous and unpredictable plus some high blood pressure moments that skating in the city inevitably brings.

BUTTERTV PRESENTS: B.A.S.S. 2023 - Never The Last BUTTER TV 2023-10-27 | “The support is amazing. We have a great community out here.” —Mike JiminezOakland, California - September 30th, 2023. While spending some time in San Francisco to finish up filming with Cameron Talbott, we found ourselves lucky with the timing as the Bay Area Skate Series took place during our stay on the west coast. With reports of light rain, we made it over the bay bridge into Oakland for the day to catch up with everyone while the sky barely kept it together long enough for the duration of the competition where the winner takes all. There was a rumor floating around that this would be the last one but we all know how that goes and after the turnout and results—there certainly will be another one. Great times, great tricks, and most of all, great people. Cheers!SUPPORT http://www.patreon.com/buttertvFOLLOWhttp://www.instagram.com/buttertv WEBSITEhttp://www.buttertv.com

Austin Paz - By The Slice BUTTER TV 2022-07-27 | New York City | Puerto Rico | Arizona - Never pressured for a deadline, we began this project during the height of the pandemic and slowly gathered clips over a two year period whether it was meeting up for an hour to get a quick clip on a street lamp that fell down in the middle of a highway or booking a trip to another state to take it easy and get what we can when we felt like it. Nothing short of good times with Austin, the multiple people that tagged along with us through this piece, and the many slices of pizza that came with it.

MANA - A Hawaii Story BUTTER TV 2021-09-14 | “There’s no place like it on Earth…” —Billy O’NeillO’ahu, Hawaii — April 2021. What an amazing trip. We teamed up with the boys from Jump Street Podcast, Austin Paz and Billy O’Neill, and paid a visit to our brother Franco Cammayo who moved out to the island of O’ahu to serve for the U.S. Army. There, we linked up with the local scene and made some incredible memories from skating ditches and schools to the days where we hung out, had some beers, and took in all the scenery. Hawaii is exactly what you think it is…beautiful. The people treat eachother, as well as treated us, like one big family and you really do get that welcoming feeling from the very start. I personally look forward to going back as often as possible and I hope to see more articles, like the be-mag piece, and more content coming from the islands as the scene continues to thrive with its amazing skaters and personalities.

Boschi was in the crowd once again cheering with everyone as we all watched it go down.

WOW! The riot is known for it's big prize pot and this year was no surprise as first place took home 3K! Four skate locations with some unique approaches like setting up a wooden box to a square handrail or just gaping onto a kinked down ledge. The skating was entertaining and the crowd, as usual, was full of life. We got kicked out of the final spot but as the campus police were there, the show ended with a banger that was later awarded with a best trick prize. Another great year at the riot and another win for the Chicago scene. Cheers!FOLLOWhttp://www.instagram.com/buttertvWEBSITEhttp://www.buttertv.comSUPPORTko-fi.com/buttertv
Dave Hartnett - Subtle Beast BUTTER TV 2021-02-04 | Filmed in New York and New England areas. Rhode Island has always had a pool of talent coming from there and Dave Hartnett is one of those names on that list. The filming of this project began in late July of 2016 and was finished around a year later, but we didn’t know that we were finished yet. I would meet Dave once every few months for a day or two and we would film whatever we can with no real schedule or planning. We would always talk about meeting up a few more times before I sat down to edit but scheduling and timing was never on our side and quickly the months apart would turn into years. A few days ago I went through the footage and realized, there’s definitely something really good here and rather than letting the footage age any longer, I decided to finally put it all together.If you’ve had the chance to meet Dave, then you know that he’s a man of very few words and he keeps things fairly simple but his skating speaks the opposite—hence the subtle beast. He’s always been one to keep your eyes on during street competitions as he won a good amount here on the east coast or at the very least placed in the top three. It’s been nothing but good times working together on this piece and hopefully in the future we can make the time to get a few sessions in to keep him included with upcoming projects because his skating and consistency to land tricks is very fun to watch .

Tim Franken - 11:59 BUTTER TV 2020-12-22 | Filmed entirely in New Jersey towards the end of summer and into late fall of 2020— I’ve managed to run into Tim Franken at a Ghetto Community pop-up shop in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. From there we threw around the idea of linking up and getting a few clips together which turned into meeting up every Wednesday late at night and returning home around 3-4am (with the exception of one day where we skated around noon in a group session.). There’s something unique about skating and filming at night especially in the middle of a global pandemic. The streets were eerily empty even in some of the more typically busier areas but that’s also not to say that we didn’t hear or see some things—this is NJ after all. Working with Tim is actually pretty laidback as he just shows up and lays it down. No warming up and nothing short of really good vibes. Period.Big thank you to Anddy Feliciano and Isabel Dubon for consistently coming out on these late night excursions and keeping the energy high and positive as well as Samuel DeAngelis and Will Sorto for tagging along to help out with photography and their good spirits.

Originally scheduled to take place at Berry Lane Skate Park, the weather had other plans for the day as it brought in a heavy thunder storm but the boys at OSB and Skate & Liberty had a back up plan—shut down half the street and set up shop under the bridge. It was gritty but it was mostly dry. On a day that you wouldn’t count on getting any skating in…they made it work and it was really fun.

Winterclash 2020: What Does It All Mean BUTTER TV 2020-10-07 | “No one knows why we are still here. It’s probably because we love what we’re doing and with Winterclash we are trying to showcase exactly that.” — Johanes ‘Jojo’ JacobiEindhoven, Netherlands - February 13-15, 2020. Three days of madness…again. Winterclash is THE event that kicks off every year with a bang. Taking place during one of the colder months of winter, piling up inside a skatepark with friends from all around the world to celebrate skating doesn’t sound like a bad idea. I always tell people whether you currently skate, used to skate, or just looking for a good time that Winterclash should be on your to-do list. Always great skating and insights through panel discussions, always a challenge to film, and ALWAYS a great time. Once again, thank you to Jojo and co. for putting together another successful year and because of the current climate of the world—I am very curious as to what plans will unfold for 2021.

BPSO5: Homecoming - The Fifth Annual Boschi Pope Skate Off BUTTER TV 2020-09-08 | “…For rollerblading, I’m gonna do this shit no matter what” —Boschi PopeNew York City — August 29th, 2020. Marking it’s fifth year and answering the question that seems to plague every competition this year of whether it’s happening or not…it happened. Boschi makes his return back home for this one and the turn out was surprisingly very good considering we are still living under covid rules as well as a forecast that promised rain showers. The show still went on and it went off. A good number of people along the east coast from Florida all the way up north made it over along with a handful hailing from the west. This was my first contest coverage since the Pow-Wow Pro/Am back in March and it felt good to re-connect with everyone in person. Cheers to everyone who came out, those who helped put it all together, and to all the skaters who put on a show for year five.

Action Figures: Soichiro Kanashima - IKIGAI BUTTER TV 2020-08-01 | Japan - Summer, 2019 - I’ve had the pleasure of capturing some great highlights of Soichiro over the past few years from winning best trick at 2018’s Winterclash, taking first at the Boschi Pope Skate Off that same year, 2nd at 2019’s Blading Cup, and then taking a last minute trip to Japan where we stayed mostly in Tokyo to film street and wrapping up in his hometown of Okayama. While in the U.S. we don’t normally view the cicada as anything more than a bug however in Japan they are very symbolic. Aside from hearing them sing in anime and and even throughout this video, they represent the beginning of summer, play a significant role in several children’s lives, and most importantly, they represent personal transformation. As Soichiro states, Japan is an island which requires a plane to go anywhere outside of the country - “and because we only speak Japanese there’s a huge hurdle for us to go anywhere” - yet through his dedicated years invested into skating he was able to overcome that social hurdle and go beyond not only for himself but for the next generation of young skaters. From his most recent winning, (one of the biggest - if not the biggest - pay days in blading history) at the Chimera A-Side Final, to a plethora of memorable street skating sections in videos and online, to running his own “Yamada Green” skate park in Okayama guiding some of the already most talented kids— one can easily say that he has truly discovered his passion in life or found his “ikigai” as he continuously evolves and transforms as a skater and mentor.Thank you to everyone who helped make this episode possible._______________Ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) is a wonderful Japanese concept that essentially means “a reason for being.” It’s made from two Japanese words: iki, meaning “life” and kai, meaning “effect, result, worth or benefit.” Combined: “a reason for living.”Examples of ikigai are often related to aspects of social identity — including work and family life — but it’s often explained as something more than that. It’s the idea of seeking a purpose in everything you do in life. Hobbies, friendships, community and travel all add to your ikigai.-Elaine Mead, Darling Magazine, Jan. 2018WEBSITEhttp://www.buttertv.comFOLLOWhttp://www.instagram.com/buttertvSUPPORTko-fi.com/buttertv

Mal has a very chill flow-like style. While we originally planned to get something done together a while back, our busy life schedules never aligned well together. However, when we did link up, we had some pretty good times whether meeting around his way in the Bronx, my way in Queens, or linking up together with a bunch of people in Manhattan, or Brooklyn. Afterwards we would often find ourselves at a bar eating wings and having a beer… Mal’s choice was always a sour ale.

Cameron Talbott & BFree - A Layover At The Flowershop BUTTER TV 2020-04-05 | San Francisco, California—August 1st, 2019. After an 11 hour flight from Tokyo, I had a few hours to spare before returning back home to New York. I reached out to Cameron and BFree and it was decided that a short visit to the hidden DIY park would be the plan. You cannot see this park from the road; in fact, you have to climb over a wooden fence to get inside. After watching Cameron literally surf through the park I managed to get a few clips and afterwards we settled for some In-N-Out burger before making my way back to the airport and getting back on a plane for another 5 hours.

Pow Wow Pro/AM 10 - The One That Almost Got Away BUTTER TV 2020-03-29 | This piece was done in collaboration with some amazing people that were all together for this event. For the full article with stories and photos please visit: bladerunion.com/dailyblade/2020/3/28/pow-wow-10-the-official-story-of-the-weekend-that-never-wasJacksonville, Florida — March 12th-15th 2020. A unique time for a skate contest to take place right before social distancing was implemented throughout the country. At the time, gatherings of 250 people or less were allowed so the powers at Kona skatepark held a meeting, asked a lot of questions, did a head count, and made a strict policy that if there were anymore than 250, the competition would be shut down instantly. A social media blackout policy was also instilled to deter people from showing up so no one knew, asides from us that were there, that the event was even happening—which made it special in its own way. In one aspect, Pow Wow 10 felt like one last hurrah before this pandemic takes us all into harder times. Skating and cheering in the Florida sunshine while people are cooking burgers and dogs on their grills and throwing back a few beers, add to that, some amazing live music performances and you have yourself a Pow Wow. Always a good time seeing everyone and after we make it through this pandemic we’ll get together and do it all again. We have to right? Because Pow Wow 11 is coming March, 2021!

Action Figures: Brian Freeman - Oakland Dreams BUTTER TV 2020-02-03 | “The thing that’s most important is fucking trying.” —BFreeOakland, California — November 2018. What you may have heard about Brian ‘BFree’ Freeman is true. The man is full of passion and carries that magic with him wherever he goes. Shot at the end of 2018; this piece serves more as a prequel to some of the things he’s accomplished today, one of which is running a full time business with his BFree Blading Academy. What’s inspiring about BFree is that he never has an excuse and is constantly pushing forward, not only in rollerblading, but as a family man which is a reflection of his character and how he conducts his lessons for the youth.During our shoot, California was experiencing massive fires where homes were destroyed and lives were lost. The typically blue skies were gray and the air quality was extremely poor. BFree still managed to get a solid piece together and show off what his days consist of. He did it all with a smile and, even under some of the worst circumstances, he maintained his positivity and again, continued to keep moving forward. Dreams come true if you’re dedicated and willing to put the work in.

Blading Cup 2019: We Are Generations BUTTER TV 2020-01-08 | "Take this vibe we're feeling right now and text a homie that hasn't bladed in a while, start a monthly or weekly session. If two people show up and you post a picture, next week, four people show up. And if they need wheels, give them some used wheels. And pretty soon we're gonna have regular sessions in cities all across the world—and the Blading Cup next year, which will be the tenth annual, could be even bigger!" — Matt MickeySanta Ana, California - November 1st-2nd, 2019. As a native from the northeast, Blading Cup truly is a destination weekend. Another year with two full days of skating in Downtown Santa Ana’s East End with 160 competitors from all around the world—21 countries to be exact however, what really made Blading Cup special this year wasn’t just about the global presence but the multiple generations that skated alongside one another. Those who started the culture, to the ones who took it to the next level, to the pros of today, and lastly, the next generation of enthusiastic skaters.

I've ran into E.Rod on several occasions during events and he'd always share what projects he was currently working on. After Blading Cup 2018 we made a quick stop over to Long Beach, California and spent two days to gain a little insight on his workflow and catch a short glimpse behind the scenes during the shooting of his film titled "Forever." February 9th, 2019 - We attended the premiere which also included a box jam at Tim Franken’s warehouse. It was a bracket style competition that came down to a final four competing for a prize package of cash and other goods. The turnout was great as well as the skating and everybody had an awesome time coming together to celebrate.Currently, Erick is already finishing up on his next VOD project: "Crickets" which follows the gang through Mexico City and other locations around the world.http://www.buttertv.comhttp://instagram.com/buttertvhttp://www.bladergang.comhttp://instagram.com/bladergangworldwideIf you enjoyed this video and want to donate a little extra support:ko-fi.com/buttertv

I love y'all... be safe and everybody kill that shit!" — Boschi PopeNew York City — August 24th, 2019.Four years strong: While the BPSO is still a young annual event, it brings alot of people together from all parts of the globe. The energy is still loud and crazy and the final round is still as chaotic as it was in it's first year with spectators, filmers, and photographers never sure which way to look or point our cameras because the skaters are killing the spot from every direction. Lots of love to everyone that constantly collaborate to keep this event going and to everyone that shares the same amount of excitement as they do every year we all come together - Thank you!

Windy City Riot: Nineteen Years BUTTER TV 2019-07-19 | “At the end of the day it happens because we make it happen.” — Adam BazydloChicago, Illinois — July 13th, 2019. Nineteen years and the Riot is still going strong…very strong. Lots of support was gathered by everyone which was clearly visible by the donations made to the prize pot as well as the amount of people who showed up. The skating took place at four different locations and the entertainment was nonstop—spots that would normally be hit maybe once for a clip were being session’d especially the last which was a big drop ledge and a kinked rail. Afterwards we all celebrated and winners were announced at a gallery of Matthias St. John’s amazing photographs where tons of stories were shared about many of them. Also, we celebrated the release of the magazine: SKIPBOOTZINE. Like always, this was another event that was nothing short of good times and great vibes.

Delta City Open IX: Candy Land BUTTER TV 2019-07-05 | “I’d buy that for a dollar!” - Bixby SnyderDetroit, Michigan — May 25th, 2019. The ninth year of DCO; Candy Land, which had some of the best art direction for its flyers leading up to the event, was nothing short of fun times with the community sticking together strongly while getting from one spot to another. The meet up and first spot was ledge island which is exactly what it sounds like. Everyone either drove or hopped on the bus provided to the second spot at the MLK apartments where the residents, especially young kids, gathered around the watch the clinic that was put onto the rail—definitely a highlight when the locals are cheering. We then made our way to an abandoned warehouse that was setup with DIY boxes, ramps, etc… which came at the perfect time because it began to rain pretty hard, and lastly the final spot which was a set of down rails. We ended the day at the newly built Riverside Skate Park where winners were announced along with bbq and cold ones. Nothing but good times and good hospitality.

LES Survivor Series BUTTER TV 2019-06-28 | “That belt… wow… the Ultimate Warrior would be very Jealous. Now, I didn’t say which Ultimate Warrior because there’s been five and they all died.” —Justin BrascoNew York City — April 13th, 2019. A small collaboration between IRollNY, butterTV, AirtoThe, and RUDY. After a long winter with little to no skating we put together a small contest at LES Skatepark to kick off the warmer days to come. Rather than all out skate jam where the best tricks win; we kept the rules to a simple game of SKATE (BL8 to keep it moving quicker). We also had mini challenges like best cess slides, best air over the launch, and a race around the block. The goal was not to get anyone hurt before the season started but to bring people together to hang, have a beer, grab some free stuff, and of course, win some money and a belt. Cheers to keeping it simple and to everyone who showed up!http://www.buttertv.comhttp://www.irollny.comhttp://www.rudynewyork.comhttp://www.instagram.com/airtotheIf you enjoyed this video and want to donate a little extra support:ko-fi.com/buttertv
A-Town Stomp X: Back 2 The Brewery BUTTER TV 2019-06-23 | “Its just, sometimes you gotta drill some p-rails into a truck and skate that shit.” —David SizemoreAtlanta, Georgia - March 16th, 2019. Although a little earlier than last year's Stomp which brought a slight chill into the air, the Starnes brothers put together another awesome event—number 10 to be exact. This year we stayed out of the streets jumping from one spot to the next and kept all the entertainment ins one location: Arches Brewery. They kicked things off with a warm up on the truck (we’ll get back to that in a sec) while others tried their skates at the race event. Tom Hyser was nice enough to supply everyone with a pair of big wheels from the Rollerblade truck. Next event was a crazy p-rail contest that kept shifting from bump offs to rails to guard rails to… yea it wasn’t your average p-rails. Next was a high grind contest followed by the main event: an F150 that could have been a set piece on Mad Max. It was exciting to see people simply grind it but like any contest, simple isn’t gonna win anyone money and so it got crazy. The after party was back at the Starnes house where winners were announced and there were plenty of food and drink going around for all the guests. It’s always an absolute blast down in the ATL. Cheers to another great year!http://www.buttertv.comhttp://www.instagram.com/buttertvIf you enjoyed this video and want to donate a little extra support:ko-fi.com/buttertv
Winterclash 2019 BUTTER TV 2019-06-07 | "Do it for yourself."Eindhoven, Netherlands - February 14-16, 2019. Three days of madness. The amount of people that are in one building coming together to celebrate the one thing we all enjoy doing, watching, and supporting is incredible. Once again, much respect to Jojo and co. for putting together another successful event. There was alot to take in this year: as always, there was a ton of amazing skating happening in every direction (which makes this event one of the more challenging ones to film), as well as some very insightful panel discussions. Lots of beer was flowing around between the skate park and Blue Collar Hotel which hosted the Euro premiere of Ivan Narez's Valo 6 as well as "At The Movies" hosted by Jumpstreet's Austin and Billy starring Alex Broskow and a curated selection of some of his amazing video sections. As always, good times, good vibes, much love, and in case you're wondering... we'll be back in 2020!

Winterclash 2018 BUTTER TV 2019-01-02 | “Past, Present, Future.”Eindhoven, Netherlands - February 16-17th 2018. Our first Winterclash and it was everything you could imagine and more. No video or photo can ever do this event justice—it is truly something you should experience at least once in your life. As always with every event: good vibes all around with people from all over the world. Beers, cheers, and amazing skating. Tons of respect to Jojo and co. for organizing and bringing us these huge events for 15 years. Aside from watching everyone tear through Area 51 skate park, we were also treated to different panel discussions supporting the theme of this year’s clash. Afterwards, most of us would stop in at the Blue Collar hotel next door where we’d continue the celebration over many drinks only to do it all again the next day. Rather than going on and on about how great of a time we had—how about we just see you at the next one?

Action Figures: Jordan Baez - Ghetto Community BUTTER TV 2018-12-11 | Episode 02 - I spent a few days with Jordan this past summer and followed him around as he skated, picked up soft goods for Ghetto Community, ripped through Manhattan on his motorcycle, and showed his son how to be a better skater.Jordan is RAW. People often say that gritty New York City culture died when all of the transplants from different states showed up but Jordan proves that it's still alive and well here and that you soft. He also helped put together the blading scene on Lower East Side by encouraging long time friends and neighbors to strap up some skates as well as holding an annual street event called the 12th & D comp located in the Jacob Riis housing projects. This behind the scenes glimpse is just a little taste of what Jordan has been cooking up lately as he continues to push the scene forward and bridge the gap between rollerblading and everything outside of it.Cheers!http://www.buttertv.comhttp://www.buttertv.com/instagramIf you enjoyed this video and want to donate a little extra support:ko-fi.com/buttertv

Astoria Park Pro Conference 2018 BUTTER TV 2018-10-24 | http://www.buttertv.comhttp://www.instagram.com/buttertv"Rudy is for you" -- Rudy New YorkQueens, New York - October 20th, 2018. Photographer Ryan Loewy hosts the first competition under his new brand: Rudy New York along with the New York Skate Series and Blader Union. Literally in our backyard - Astoria Park. The first two rounds of the comp started at the plaza on two ledges angled upwards and moved to the quarter. In between there were brief intermissions for some simple ways to make quick cash: a toe roll and a cess slide contest. Afterwards we moved to the east side of the park to the last spot to skate two sketchy rails. On camera they look great... but in person it's a different story. This is where Dave Hartnett shined and took home the win but not without taking some punishment. Chris Pullar, Julian Hinsch, and Adonis Taylor also took home some battle wounds. It was brutal but also a reminder of the risks we take in this sport/lifestyle. Speedy recovery for those guys. Still, a great turnout and what a show for the locals in the neighborhood as they gathered around the spot, or were watching from their home balconies and front steps. Shout out to everyone that showed up! Cheers!If you enjoyed this video and want to donate a little extra support:ko-fi.com/buttertv
Second Annual 2018 LUX Street Open BUTTER TV 2018-10-17 | http://www.buttertv.comhttp://www.instagram.com/buttertv“Youth Control the Culture” — ONE LUXSan Jose, California - September 29, 2018. Originally I had plans to fly out west with my wife to visit Utah and when I realized the date we were flying home I planned a detour to Northern California. I missed out last year so I was pretty stoked to be there and it did not disappoint (they never do). We met up at Adelante Academy for the first spot. After four heats there was a juniors competition and the energy of the crowd for the little Arvinites was amazing (Shout out to Matt Mickey from Intuition Skateshop. Then we made our way to Morrill High School, which was a slightly curved rail with an angled approach, and lastly, the classic IMYTA spot where the final four took place many years ago. The weather was sunny and the vibe was very cool. After the comp—Walter, who I met when I first arrived, let me catch a ride out to BJ Bernhardt’s studio where the afterparty was. Beers, pizza, two skate video premieres (Bay Connection and Grombè) and good company—What more could you ask for. Shout out to Keezy, Mike, and everyone who helped organize and attended the event. The community out in NorCal is strong. Cheers to the good times!If you enjoyed this video and want to donate a little extra support:ko-fi.com/buttertv
