Rant
Who would have thought Issue 4 would peek
it’s eyes out within months of the last issue.
With all the crap floating on the web about
skateboards and their origin (China vs. The
world) one might ask the question, Where does
all my gear come from? Your shoes, clothes,
hardware, etc, are they American Made? If
you have a myspace, check us out at myspace.
com/brokenmagazine. The majority of pools
have been sucking ass recently which has been
a disappointment within the staff. The sick
slanted jersey barrier at poches got the wrath
of the skate stoppers yesterday, good for a
few months at least. Well here is the new issue, good stuff, an interview with Chris from
Arizona, listen to Killing California, and some
sick art from Chris Bourke. All for Free just like
it should be. If your actually reading this far
into this intro, you should have a cracked, icy
refreshment within reach. - enjoy - NG

S.T.S. ( scam the system)...........
Need a free pair of shoes. Here’s
a quick way to a new pair. You
will need a receipt for the shoes
so find your last one or you may
need to buy another pair. Skate
them for 2-3 weeks and look
for any imperfections, especially
along the sole to see if any of the
glue has let go. The side walls
and heels seem to be easiest. Try
to make the spot as big as you
can, peel the side wall as much as
you can with out forcing it. Take
it back to a shop (best is the mall
shops cause complete retards will
be working) and demand a new
pair of shoes. If you have your
receipt and the shoes are less
than a month old, you can usually
scam a new pair. You can even
try I have found certain brands
dont even ask for a receipt and
the process can be done for a
substantial amount of time. My
best is 4 in a row before I ran into
a big shut down on the 5th try by
the “New Manager”. Oh well give
it a whirl, the worst they say is no
way dude.

Road sodas-Make your own
In the Trenches
Some of the equipment and supplies include:
brewpot: A large pot that can hold about eight quarts of liquid.
blow-off tube/siphon hose: A plastic tube about five feet long
that fits snugly in the top of the fermenter. You’ll be using this
hose to transfer the beer from one container to another.
fermenter: A big container that lets your beer ferment. Aim for
a minimum of seven gallons.
airlock and stopper: A little gadget that releases carbon dioxide
from the fermenter without letting air in.
bottles: What, you want to drink your beer out of bowls?
bottle caps and capper: A quality capper can save time and
beer.
bottle filler: This way, you can fill bottles with ease.
racking cane: A cane-shaped length of plastic tubing used to
siphon your beer from one container to another.
And of course the ingredients. If you’re a beginner, it’s easiest
to buy a beer kit. A beer kit provides you with all the necessary
ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions. If you prefer to
work with your own recipe, you’ll need:
a packet of yeast powder
corn sugar

hops
a big can of malt extract
water.
Once you have your equipment, sanitize everything. Bacteria and fungi are everywhere. If enough of them get into your beer, you
won’t have good beer. Then follow these steps to making your own beer.
Bring about 2 gallons of water to a boil. Add malt and four pounds of sugar. Allow the wort to boil for at least an hour, stirring
regularly. Add your hops some time during the hour, depending on how you want your beer to taste.
While boiling the wort, stir the yeast powder into a cup of warm water and then cover it. Also fill your fermenter until it’s about half
full of water. Once you’re through boiling the wort, pour it into the fermenter. Cap the fermenter and wait until it’s cooled to about
room temperature. Then add the yeast solution. If you add it when the wort is too hot, the yeast will die.
The initial fermentation will be rapid, resulting in “blow-off” foaming out of the fermenter. To prevent it from getting all over the
floor, affix your plastic hose to the top of the fermenter. The free end of the tube should be placed in a bowl of water. The foam will
be emptying into the bowl. Once the fermentation slows, remove the tube and attach the airlock and stopper. Place the fermenter in
a dark place and leave it alone for six to fourteen days until the mixture stops bubbling. This is the primary fermentation. Once the
mixture stops bubbling, the day of bottling has arrived. Boil three cups of water and add one cup of sugar. This will be your priming
solution. After about twenty minutes, allow the solution to cool. Remove the airlock, open up the stopper, and pour the solution into
the mixture. Mix it with a racking cane. Then remove the cane and wash it. Close the stopper.
Attach the racking cane to one end of the plastic hose (now called the siphoning hose). Place the bottle filler on the other end. Open
up the stopper. Place the racking cane through the hole until it’s about two inches from the bottom of the fermenter.
The lid of the fermenter should have a stem into which you can blow to increase the air pressure. Now, get a clean bottle. Fill it to
within an inch of the top. Cap the bottle. Five gallons of wort should fill about 50 bottles. Keep filling until the wort is about three to
four inches from the bottom of the fermenter. Avoid drinking that (the dregs) as it may give you digestive problems.
Let the bottles of beer sit in a dark place for about a week so that it can age and carbonate. This is the secondary fermentation.
After that, you’re ready to sample your own beer.

Chris Gobber - Arizona
So whats up dude? Skate anything sick
today?
I’m just staying busy working with California Skate Parks, we have alot going on
this year. Skated a new ditch today, it was
pretty sick
You build stuff to skate, how sick of a job
is that? What’s the best thing you helped
build so far?
I have a kick ass job but it is a hella lot of
work. It’s a process from start to end with
alot of set backs in between. It is cool to
travel and build which I’ve done here and
there but for now we are mostly building
in Arizona. During the summer the weather gets so intense we usually start work
at 2am and go until 11am. Unfortunately
summer is right around the corner! The
best thing so far I’ve helped with would
have to be Goodyear. I was there the first
day when it was just a big dirt field ready
for grading and I worked on every phase
from start to finish. It was nice to take my
mom and wife there after it was finished
and show them the end results.
Do you miss San Clemente at all, I mean the gopher
head, come on
yea I miss the weather miss, the friends and I miss the
good times at the compound and at gopher head for
sure!
Where you living right now?
I am living right outside Phoenix in Peoria
AZ with my wife. We bought a house a
few years back and I got control of the back yard so of course while
most people choose a swimming pool, I went with wood.
What up with your ramp?
My ramp was the first project I started when we moved to Peoria.
I didn’t know to many people yet so I went with the old saying “if
you build it they will come.” I take pride in the structure of my
ramp. I built the majority of it by myself and it is solid as can be.
It is 5 1/2 ft tall with a 7 ft tranny and 24 ft wide with pool coping
extension, skatelite and many movable props. I am in the process of
expanding the ramp to a hip and spine combo. I also have a backyard mini bowl known as the iron yoke. It’s a fun little addition. It’s
a piece of Thrasherland so I’m glad to have some heritage set up in
my yard.
How’s the AZ skate scene?
The AZ skate scene is great. Good people, good times and lots of
pools and parks. I’m totally stoked on the Arizona skate scene
Who do you ride for right now?
AZPX Skateboards is my main sponsor. Rob Locker is
the owner and he is probably the most kick ass guy I
met out here, some of the other riders are Wrex Cook,
Troy Eckles, Ben Dixon, Chris Kelly, Brian Pino, Jay
McLane and some street skaters. I have a few of my
own decks that are my shape and he sells them online
and thru different skate shops, I’m really happy to be
apart of his crew. I ride for Kronik Energy, which is
an energy drink that is working it’s way to the main
stream. Other riders include Benji Galloway, Jimmy
the Greek, Heidi and Cressy Rice. Kronik just held the
Desert Dog Bowl Bash which went down pretty good.
It brought out alot of old school pros and gave Kronik
some coverage. I ride for Randoms hardware, I’d ride
their shit even if I had to pay! I ride for Drop in Skate
Shop which is a local shop owned by my friend Ed.
And I still get flow from Emerica.

Bourke
Chris Bourke is an artist and
skate-shop owner based in
Worcester, UK. Chris started
skating in 1986 whilst living in
Droitwich and opened his own
skate shop, Spine, in Worcester
in 1999.
He has previously worked as a
tattoo artist, and the influence of
tattoos is present in his personal
and commercial work which includes producing board graphics for Birmingham-based Skateboard
company A Third Foot. The tattoo-inspired board series “Falling, Breaking, Crying and Dying,” is the
darker side to his previous “Feeding, Growing, Shining and Flying” series for the company. Chris has also
produced T-shirt designs and graphics for Document Skateboard Magazine and a t-shirt and board graphic
for Death Skateboards.
In the past Chris has used spray paints and acrylics to create his work, but in the last few years has been
developing large scale ink and watercolour paintings, producing distinctive work infused with some of
his interests and influences, such as tattoo art, religious symbolism and his travels to India and Nepal.
In 2005 he rediscovered the joys of lino printing, and has been transferring his recognizable style to the
medium of black and white prints. One of his recent lino prints was chosen for the cover of Issue 8 of the
European art magazine Modart, which
also included a feature on his work.
Chris is a member of the Outcrowd
collective and has been involved in
several of their group exhibitions in
and around Birmingham, UK.
Last year he was invited to be
part of a show at The Hub Centre,
Lincolnshire for the ‘More Than a
Progression’ exhibition, where his
work rubbed shoulders with pieces
by Jake and Dinos Chapman, Wes
Humpston and Jim Phillips.
He had his first solo show in London
at the 88B Gallery in November 2005,
and his first solo European show in
Amsterdam in 2006.
Chris’s work can also be seen in
the book ‘Concrete to Canvas:
Skateboarder’s Art’.

he is still skating several times a week
despite snapping his ACL a few years
ago, and he’s also finding the time to
set up a creative clothing company
and gallery space called ‘Ours’, as
another outlet for his artwork and
ideas.

Fun facts surrounding Jim Beam bourbon:
In 1964 Congress declared bourbon a “distinctive product of the United States” and it was
recognized as “America’s native spirit.”
For a spirit to be called “bourbon,” it must be
made from a mash mixture of at least 51 percent corn and must be aged in new, charred
oak barrels.
Bourbon has been the preferred drink of
presidents (Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson),
famous writers (Mark Twain) and countless
other politicians, performers and notable
citizens.
Jim Beam Bourbon was around when George
Washington — a distiller himself — was alive.
At the time, the Constitution was only 19 years
old. Since then, the Constitution has been
amended 27 times, but the formula for making
Jim Beam bourbon remains the same.
After prohibition, at the age of 70, Jim Beam
rebuilt the family distillery by hand in 120
days.
Jim Beam has produced over ten million barrels of bourbon since Prohibition.
Jim Beam is the only American whiskey that
has been distilled and sold by the same family
for 7 generations (since 1795).
As whiskey ages, a portion evaporates over
time. It is this portion that the late Master
Distiller, Booker Noe, sixth-generation Beam
family distiller, referred to as the “Angels’
Share”— the portion the angels’ would enjoy
for themselves.
Each barrel of Jim Beam Bourbon is aged
a minimum of four years and rolled out by
hand. Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s great grandson,
oversees every barrel of bourbon, continuing a
family tradition that has survived generations.

Interview with KILLINGCALIFORNIA by NG
Whats up with you guys?
We are ; dc-lead vocals & guitar, jerome-leadguitar, richie-bass, the kid-drums
Where ya from? San Clemente,ca.
Bands you were all in?
The kid and I were in Skumfux back in the 90’s, after that ended I was in FKR a band
out of Phoenix around 02,03. Richie most recently was in Blood Soaked Hands
How Did KillingCalifornia come to be?
Years ago the kid kept cornering me at the bar telling me someday we were gonna be in
a band again, I would just laugh. So after enough of this badgering we hooked up with
my friend Crano and we started to jam. Crano brought Jerome around and the band
started up. Crano has since left the band as did another guitarist DonE. We needed a
lead guitar after these dudes left so Jerome moved over to guitar which opended up a
spot for Richie to come in on bass. He talked his way in at the bar like the kid...it’s cool,
hopefully the band stays this way from here on.
Whats up with the south county music scene? We have a few good bands and tons of
crap?
I don’t think the bands are crap I think the scene is crap. There’s really no venues down
here to build a scene around. It’s usually just bar owners who want some buisness on
the weekends after the construction dudes go home. So they’’ll let us drag our own PA
down, do all the work, and
than give us a small cut of
the bar. They don’t care about
anyone’s music so it sucks, it’s
not conductive to building any
kind of scene. Usually it last
for a few shows and they get
over it. It’s always been that
way down here and all ages
gigs, forget about it. If there
was a decent venue, I think
the bands and the scene would
get better.
Where do you guys skate?
Hate to say it but the last
few years I’ve been a park
nerd and usually due to
laziness and not wanting
to drive I end up at the
San Clemente park. As a
band we skate when were
on the road, hit some curb
cuts outside a club...we
just skated Scotts Valley
near Santa Cruz and Derby,
which is a great place to get
over a hangover.
Summer plans? Hopefully
we’ll get our new record out
and do some more tours up
north.

Park
Granite Skatepark, Sacramento, CA
This park is definitely worth a look if
your in Sacramento. Plenty of pool
coping, over vert pockets, and a plethora of odd street stuff make it a park
that is not to boring. The BMX contingent has already managed to damage
just about every ledge that did not
have metal coping on it so that sucked,
especially the marble hubba ledges,
but for the most park everything was
good to go. There is this weird capsule
pool that is probably 12 feet deep and
remained unridden for the most part.
The cop factor was void so anarchy
was on within the confines of the iron
fence. The mosquito factor at sunset
was a buzz kill, but worth it. Check out
Madera if your on the way up towards
Sacramento. Photos and review - NG

Saikou DVD by Conspiracy Skateboards.
Available on their website for $15. Featuring
footage from the infamous Fallen Warehouse
DEATHBOWL, Oregon Trifecta, Utah, Texas,
Idaho, North Carolina, New Mexico, Colorado,
and more! It has a sick soundtrack of drivey
punk and metal with footage from tons of
sick parks you probably haven’t seen or been
to. The Fallen where house section was rad
and made me want to go buy a barn and
start building. Definitely worth a check out at
ConspiracySkateboards.com
Boardpusher.com - Good idea and easy to use. Do you want a special design for your company, gifts, whatever, you can easily login in and do just that. For $50 same as decks in the
shop except shop decks or blanks. Anyway you can get a good product with exactly what
you want on it. At the time of this review, our board has been ordered, next issue we will
do a ride test and check out the final product. If its good or sucks, where does the deck
come from, etc. They have different shapes and sizes to choose from. They did not have an
8 1/4 though which is my ride of choice so the 8 will have to do.
The good ol TnT II’s have to be the
best skate shoes ever. I can’t seem to
fins anything as good, some shoes are
close but these have the best comb
of the vans sole with a bit of cushion
versus the old schools. They come in
some good colors and there is a vegan
version if that interests you. - RMG

Andrew just appeared ne day at the park and never has seemed to leave since. That was 3
years ago and Andrew has become quite the destroyer of all terrain. I think the first day I saw
him he had a board that was close to breaking so I told him if he dropped the vert wall, Id give
him a board, he went and straight dropped in on the vert wall, probably before he even learned
to drop in on the small stuff.
Ryan seems to be in
trouble more than he
skates, but when he
does he throws down
some fat ollies. These

Tennisclub - To witness Tennisclub in person is
something most find hard to forget. They all for
the most part skate and throw down some crazy
doom metal kinda stuff when they are on stage.
Brent puts every ounce of scream into the vocals
with drums and keyboard charging along full
speed. Check out their myspace at least and take
a listen. Here is the bio stolen from myspace.
THE SUMMER OF 2004...TENNIS CLUB
was formed as a result of the most fabulous new
idea since fabricating the discovery of the Americas by Christo-supremist booty lusting Pirates.
In the city of make-believe, where the surfers
tounge-kiss each other violently as they power
walk skippingly down the main drag and tweekers melt their minds with “Hair Metal,” Three
brave mortal souls mounted the same horse and
decided that the Punk rock records they listened
to were right....These world government war pigs
are fuckin up our lives really bad. We know our
lives are about as worthless as a dead rat in a
tampon factory and stuff.....AND THEN IT WAS
SO!!!! We then decided that we would take back
our dignities (individually....well as a band...you
get it.) and use our new egos to erect the spirit
of evacuating our domestic/consumer mind atop
a cathedral like Pirate ship that supports nothing
but a tennis court to the likes of an arena. Make
no mistake, unwilling participants in a tennis
match for their lives can be pretty competitive. It
might take the power of serious business to serve
during a doubles match. Our lives our so full of
shit that these themes are more common than
ever, “THIS WAR MEANS TENNIS” Umm did you
say Coto de Cost of living?
Asunder is ill, go get it.
