SKATEBOARD RACE DOCUMENTARY - PRESS RELEASE - NEW EXTREME FILM DOCUMENTS ANNUAL UNDERGROUND URBAN SKATEBOARD RACE... Redshift Pictures/Planet Brooklyn announce the release of “Broadway Bomb,” an extreme film chronicling the competitive journey of 27 skateboarders through the concrete canyons of New York City. The unauthorized and unpredictable 8.5-mile course begins near Columbia University on 110th Street and travels south on Broadway through traffic, construction sites, and crowded crosswalks culminating at Battery Park at the southern tip on Manhattan. Skateboarding in New York City without getting chased by a cop is challenging enough, but imagine skating full-speed on an unsecured route, with erratic traffic patterns and no protection from pedestrians and potholes, just passionate participants testing their urban street-riding skills in uncontrolled conditions. This race is about more than just being fast, it is about being tenacious and adaptable in the face of an ever-changing city course where a miscalculation can not only cost you the win, it can be disastrous. The only rules that are set-forth are quite simple: no leaving the Broadway route, no hanging-on or being pulled by vehicles and no unveiling of race details if stopped by authorities. To film and capture such a unique event required a shooting style as unorthodox as the race itself. A guerilla crew stationed cameras on various streets, on motorscooters, on a bicycle and even on the helmet of favored race participant. After 33 minutes and 23 seconds of fierce competition, participants began streaming, skating, and even staggering across the finish line. By the time all 27 had arrived, the producers had over10 hours of raw footage, and so began the countless hours of using these images to tell the skaters’ story. Energized by the music of renowned DJ/Producer Tim ‘Love’ Lee and his Tummy Touch Records, the film continued to take shape; the result is the “Broadway Bomb.” The race, organized by the New York Longboarding Association, was publicized to members and amateur boarders via Internet message-boards and word-of-mouth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: As an official selection to this year's AFI FEST, the feature documentary "The Art & Crimes of Ron English" will be screening on Tuesday, November 9th @ 9:45 PM @ ArcLight Theatre 13; and Thursday, November 11th @ 3:30 PM @ ArcLight Theatre 13. Artist Ron English, and filmmaker Pedro Carvajal will be attending the festival as well as representing the film at the AFM (American Film Market) in Santa Monica, which for the first time this year is running in tandem with the AFI FEST 04. SYNOPSIS: "POPAGANDA: THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH" is an 82-minute documentary about the culture jamming and billboard liberation antics of Ron English: billboard bandit, post- pop pundit, post-punk prankster, counter-cultural cartoonist, culture-jammer. A modern Robin Hood of Madison Avenue, Ron paints, perverts, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture and its popular visual iconography on canvas, in songs, and directly on hundreds of pirated billboards. Shot entirely guerilla, this film gives the viewer an intimate look into the life of an artist who has been at the forefront of movements in photography, painting, activist art, and underground music. This irreverent and provocative documentary offers up an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted, and there's always room for a little good-natured fun.

WORLD’S BEST WOMEN LONGBOARDERS LIGHT UP THE NIGHT - Red Bull 5X brings unique night surfing event to Malibu Malibu, Calif. – (October 16, 2004) – With 180,000 watts of light focused on the action, the Red Bull 5X made history as Malibu's first-ever night surfing event was held in reeling, shoulder-high waves at the famous First Point. Five of the sport's most talented female longboarders, including Daize Shayne, Mary Osborne, Kassia Meador, Kim Hamrock and Schuyler McFerran, battled it out in a 90-minute expression session.

Instead of the normal surf competition in which each surfer's performance is critiqued by judges on the beach, the RB5X allows the surfers to push the limits of performance without the constraints of typical contest formats. A full film crew recorded all the action in the water and the surfers themselves will determine the winner during a playback session to be held on Sunday, October 17, in Malibu. "It was so rad with no judges. You're your own judge and you're everybody else's judge," says pro surfer Kassia Meador of Oceanside, Calif. "The RB5X is a cool way to push each other and push our surfing to the next level. It's more about earning the respect of your peers and seeing who threw down, who's doing the craziest stuff and who was surfing the best." Despite the impossibly long noserides and graceful footwork on display, it was the unique night surfing format that caught the attention of the surfers. "It was so beautiful on the water," says veteran pro Kim Hamrock of Huntington Beach, Calif. "Actually it was kind of hard to surf at times because I was just mesmerized watching the bottom and the fish." The complete session will air on the FUEL network later this year.

RED BULL 5X - THE NEW PICK UP GAME FOR SURFING - Here’s how it works: Round up five surfers and head to your favorite break. Throw in $5 each, paddle out, and surf for 90 minutes straight. Then, judge each other on these five criteria: torque, boost, push, mojo and combo. The winner gets the cash. But more importantly, the winner gets the respect. The girls were empowered to adapt the Red Bull 5X criteria the way they saw fit. The key is the five girls judge each other and deem the winner themselves with a format that rewards creativity and innovation. For more information, http://www.rb5x.com

KASSIA MEADOR - 5X, Malibu, CA 10.16.04_ © CHRISTIAN PONDELLA

KASSIA MEADOR WINS RED BULL 5X MALIBU - Malibu, Calif. – (October 18, 2004) – After an illuminating evening of night surfing under 180,000 watts of light power at First Point Malibu, the five women surfers (Daize Shayne, Mary Osborne, Kassia Meador, Kim Hamrock and Schuyler McFerran) in the Red Bull 5X gathered the following morning to review the night's footage and vote on the winner. All the girls were surfing incredibly well with long nose rides and elegant footwork in Malibu's long rights. After some good-hearted heckling and applauding for one another while watching the footage it was "sea princess" Kassia Meador who received the nod from her fellow surfers and the $25 pot. "There weren’t judges, and it wasn’t a contest," said Kassia of the session. "The RB5X is a cool way to push each other and push our surfing to the next level. It's more about earning the respect of your peers and seeing who threw down, who's doing the craziest stuff and who was surfing the best." For more information, go to http://www.redbull5x.com.

For Immediate Release -DEAD BOYS - LIVE AT CBGBíS 1977 - Available on DVD on November 16, 2004... Music Video Distributors and CBGB are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Dead Boys ñ Live at CBGBís 1977 for North American distribution on DVD. In 1977, at the now historic and legendary CBGB in NYC, punk rock, a musical and cultural phenomenon that would change the face of contemporary music, culture, and fashion was still essentially an underground phenomenon but it was about to explode. Among those attracted to the scene was radical counterculture artist Rod Swenson. Through the summer and early fall of 1977, Swenson, who would create the Plasmatics around Wendy O. Williams later that year, shot and produced videos and shows for the likes of the Ramones, Dead Boys, Blondie, Patti Smith as well as numerous lesser known groups. Many had forgotten the tapes even existed, or wondered if they still did, but at the urging of CBGB's Hilly Krystal and Ed Seaman of Music Video Distributors, Swenson was able to locate most of the original masters and agreed to their restoration and release. This, the only one of its kind in existence, is Swenson's three-camera color shoot of the historic Dead Boys shot right at their creative peak. "The Dead Boys were rougher and more in your face than most of their competitors at the time. Those who weren't lucky to have experienced the Dead Boys during the first go ëround, time ran out a long time ago, as Dead Boys leader Stiv Bators took the band's name to heart back in 1990. So all we have left are a couple of officially released studio albums, and recollections in such books as "Please Kill Me," which makes the footage on this DVD a grand discovery (the group was peaking during the Young Loud and Snotty era). The Dead Boys may be gone, but with such acts as Pearl Jam and the Beastie Boys either covering or sampling them, they will live on in one form or another."- Greg Prato, All Music Guide... Tracklist: Sonic Reducer, All This and More, Not Anymore, Revenge, Flame Thrower Love, I Need Lunch, Ain't Nothin' to Do, What Love Is, High Tension Wire, Search & Destroy... Bonus materials include: Interviews with the band (1977), promotional Dead Boys clip (1977), New interviews with Cheetah Chrome & Hilly Kristal, Bonus clip of the Steel Tips, and an Alternate camera angle - the Johnny Blitz-cam!

New Sacrifice Killer Cut Wheels. 63mm-97A. www.sacrificeskateboards.com

The Kantor Gallery in association with New York artist Ryan Humphrey is pleased to present. . . Ryan Humphrey SUPERSTORE: a prototype storefront for the mock corporation Humphrey Industries. This venture is influenced by the independent rock band Fugazi, Diane Von Furstenburg’s multi-use, party space/apartment-boutique, and Keith Harring’s pop shop. The self-produced, self-managed and artist run store has co-opted the retail design of fashion boutiques that attach themselves to gallery districts like barnacles on ships. This experiment in entrepreneurship is a “DIY” approach to engaging the art public directly without the aid or hindrances of gallery representation. This is a call to arms: Eliminate the middlemen. Deal direct. Forge your own cultural vision and promote it yourself. Humphrey Industries has no full time employee’s, no child labor factories in China, no giant Times Square billboards, or glossy fashion magazine ads, and hardly any actual product. Humphrey is more influenced by the inventiveness of David Lee Roth era Van Halen and the feats (and defeats) of Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel than any visual artist living or dead.
