Podcast appearances and mentions of craig stecyk

A writer and editor from San Diego, California, Scott's known throughout the surf sphere for his work with The Surfer's Journal, which he edited from 1999 to 2019, and where he remains as its creative director. Hulet was drawn to words from a young age. At six, Hulet was experimenting with making his own hardbound, nail-stapled books. As a college student, Hulet became well-acquainted with the world of print publications, serving as editor for student-led literary journals and writing for magazines like Revolt In Style and Kema. In the early 1990s, before working at TSJ, he was the editor for Longboard Quarterly. He's recently released a new book, Flow Violento, a collection of more than 30 years of his published works, focused on his lifetime spent traveling, surfing, and fishing throughout Latin America. In this episode of Soundings, Hulet talks with Jamie Brisick about lessons learned from Craig Stecyk, the virtues of reading and writing, getting to know his heroes, facing adversity, health scares, his Baja roots, and his new book.

The BBAS crew headed west for an epic couple of days late last month to attend the Skateboarding Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Vans HQ in Costa Mesa, and in the process zig-zagged across Southern California to pack in a visit to the Powell Peralta factory, a full tour of Madrid Skateboards HQ, a stop at the Pink Motel, a tour of the SHOF Museum and wrapped it up in Venice at the Artful Dodgers art show, which featured the works of Stacy Peralta, Craig Stecyk and more. Come along as we tell the tales of checking out Jerry Madrid's incredible screen-used Back to the Future Valterra board, touring SkateOne with Sean Cliver and Anita Tessensohn, line-hopping with Lance Mountain, and much more. From burritos to Bod Boyle to the Blue Tile Lounge, it was truly an adventure for the ages. Join us, shall you?

Today, we are debuting a new segment here at The Bones Brigade Audio Show: the first installment of The SK8-TV files! Yes, by popular demand, we will be reviewing- sporadically- the entire thirteen-episode run of Nickelodeon's legendary SK8-TV! Back in the olden days, when new skate videos were a once or twice a year affair, this Stacy Peralta and Craig Stecyk-masterminded basic cable opus acted as a much-needed lifeline of fresh viewing content for the seven ply-starved youth of America. Hosted by the one and only Skatemaster Tate and a young Matthew Lynn (who, as Matthew Lillard, would go on to an esteemed Hollywood acting career), SK8-TV lasted but a single season, yet left an undeniable mark on the world of skateboarding for an entire generation. To kick us off on our adventure, we are welcoming to the BBAS studio, Mark Hunt; a lynchpin of the SK8-TV operation from its inception that acted in multiple integral roles including Producer, Filmer, Editor, Show Advisor, and everything in between. Mark was kind enough to give us (and you!) the entire behind-the-scenes rundown on the show, from beginning to middle to end. It's everything you could ever possibly want to know about SK8-TV and more- so grab a longboard, get yourself into the deep end and join us, shall you? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/larry-ransom/support

For this seventh entry into our Intelligence Report interview series, we are welcoming to The Bones Brigade Audio Show none other than the infamous Robert Kittila! If you're a Brigadeer from way-back-when, or listen to this show with any regularity, this name will surely be familiar to you. Now a two-time Emmy winning cinematographer and photographer, Robert cut his teeth in the industry working alongside Stacy Peralta, Craig Stecyk and Jim Fitzpatrick in Stacy's famed Silverlake office. In addition to shooting and editing for Powell classics such as Public Domain, Ban This, Propaganda and more, Robert was a true innovator; designing and fabricating a number of unique filming devices that would take the art of skateboard filmmaking to new and previously-unseen levels. This episode is packed to the brim with incredible stories, from Lance Mountain's bulldog attack to Frankie Hill's massive gap ollie and everything in between. This is definitely one you will not want to miss, so get to the nearest high-ollie zone and join us, shall you?

Arts writer and former professional surfer Jamie Brisick talks about: w hat it was like being on the pro surfing tour back in his late teens and early 20s, and how he developed his Plan B career initially as a surfing writer before moving into arts & culture writing; how he comes to art/the art world with a relatively fresh perspective, and has experienced some unsavoriness in the upper spheres in its being too much like high school in terms of popularity, etc.; what it means when, to quote the artist Paul Chan in this case, ‘Success is its own form of failure;' the varied and fascinating work of Francis Alÿs, whom Brisick tried to get an interview with but was essentially blown off, but whom he still highly respects and reveres as an artist; the artworks, storytelling, and other idiosyncrasies of quintessential surfing-art artist, Raymond Pettibon, whom Brisick has profiled extensively and become friends with; the surf-skate pioneer Craig Stecyk (also a mentor of Brisick's) and his crazy performance art stunts; and his relationship with the journalist and writer William Finnegan, whose struggle with his memoir may be a source of inspiration for listeners.

Boone Speed. I was tempted to stop the intro right there... Boone Speed stands as one of the towering pillars in the climbing pantheon, a small town Utah kid who grew into an athletic and creative powerhouse, contributing more to the sport in half a life than most could in a couple. Let's spend just a moment dissecting his continuing legacy and then get down to business. Obviously, there's the climbing. Boone rocketed out of obscurity in the mid-80's, smack in the middle of the sport climbing revolution, to become the strongest American climber of his generation. He, along with a cadre of counter-culture contemporaries, put places like American Fork, Logan Canyon, Joe's Valley, Ibex, and a host of other areas on the map. He became the first American to climb 5.14b, one of the first ten people on the planet to clip the chains on a 5.14c. He bolted and developed like a madman. He sent like a machine. Let's stroll to a different wing of Boone's legacy. Boone, along with Mike Call and others, basically set the cultural tone for the bouldering wave that swept the nation in the late-90s/early-2000s with the establishment of Pusher, a climbing hold and soft-goods company. Relying on DIY ethics (think Fugazi and Dischord Records) and the imagery of Glen Friedman's and Craig Stecyk's work with the So-Cal skateboarding scene, Pusher's products and especially images came to define the era. Wearing a Pusher shirt was a signifier that you got it, you were in the know, that you were at least tangentially a part of an artistic, passionate, wild movement, whether you lived in the boroughs of New York City or the rolling hills of Wisconsin. Shall we visit the photography wing? As a former Black Diamond photo editor and after massaging Pusher's vibe into existence, Boone went on to travel the world as one of the most sought-after adventure photographers on the planet. He's won a lot of awards. He's captured images emblazoned on the sport's soul. I don't space to list the accolades. Check out the website. Now in his mid-50s, it seems like he's charging forward as hard as ever. The entrepreneurial flame still churning, Boone has set out to re-envision the way we attack training and movement on artificial surfaces by founding his new company, Grasshopper Industries. Involved in every aspect of the company, Grasshopper is shipping the finest adjustable wall systems in the world, allowing climbers to swap the angle of their Moon/Tension/Kilter/system/spray wall to suit their desires. 40 degrees was so yesterday... Listen, it's tough not to look up to Boone as a mentor, as a climber who has blazed his own trail on and off the rock. He's taken chances at every turn, constantly reinventing himself until the idea of Boone Speed is far more complicated than the man himself. In reality, he's just a guy with a furious drive and a deeply earned adoration for our sport. I mean...he's a legend. Have a question, comment, feedback, suggestion?

Back in the 1980s, a guy named Craig Stecyk became the art director at Powell Peralta skateboards. He had one rule: print ads for Powell Peralta will not feature any skateboarding. This was unheard of. How can you advertise a skate company without showing its team riders skateboarding? Craig’s decision had a far-reaching impact on skate culture, and on many aspects of Western culture today (including many of today’s big brands). What can Craig’s decision teach us about making art? And how can we, as artists (that means you, buddy) create a place for others to get lost in?

During his many years writing for publications such as LA Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, Slake, Surfer's Journal and more, Joe Donnelly has driven to Texas with Wes Anderson, shot pool with Sean Penn, surfed with Chris Malloy, sparred (verbally) with Christian Bale, gone on a date with Carmen Electra, and listened to tall tales told by Werner Herzog. These profiles, which also include encounters with Drew Barrymore, Lou Reed, Craig Stecyk, the wolf OR7, the Z-boys and others who have indelibly stamped the cultural landscape, drill through the facade of fame to get at the core humanity behind the myth-making. L.A. Man manages to show Los Angeles' biggest export in a light in which it is rarely seen. 

We trace Christian's roots from his early dorm room success launching and selling a magazine business, to his media publishing career and how he parlayed that same counter cultural, independent thinking into one of the most important art movements of a generation, "Beautiful Losers". We discuss the vision it takes to curate a traveling, global art exhibition… We also discuss the second internet revolution as Christian defines as the 'Mobile’ revolution and how his new venture DISTLL, a mobile commerce platform, figures to play a key role. We touch on Wu Tang Clan skate decks, the photography of Craig Stecyk and why Vice media is no accidental sensation and much more…
