Bronze TV Episode 2 Premiere Photos
6/02/2023
the people of New York got treated with a new feature on channel 56. I heard Dick Rizzo was gonna have good shit, so I just had to be there. Hang with the Bronze gang as we go from the famed Williamsburg monument to the big show at Brooklyn’s Vans Space 198. —Ted Schmitz
I started off the day by sharing my super secret pin. Hope nobody blows it out
Rollin’ up, I see the stars of the show: Rizzo and Cuz
I heard the city has to bring a cherry picker to get those cones down. I love some light mischief
I actually don’t like scary movies
They make me feel sad, like this water bottle
Orange juice and beer? Is that an East Coast thing?
Don’t look. It’s the Bronze team and I forgot my board
Shoulda told them it was a mellow session
Looks like the risky rider already paid the toll
Excuse me, I’m required to tell you that Cookie did both rails in one clip
Same as it ever was. Danny Dipalo knows
My absolute favorite thing I’ve ever heard someone say about Cuz was when we were watching the first Bronze TV with Brian Panebianco and he goes “That’s crazy they call him Cuz. He's my cousin.” He made it seem like a coincidence, and I’ll never forget it
Pro skaters, they’re just like us!
Pretty sure we witnessed a Jordan heist
Committed by actual children
Godspeed You! Young Hypebeast
Sam Zentner was on the scene!
He was hyped
So was Flushing legend Joseph Delgato
I made sure to get one alibi skate photo, which was actually pretty impressive on the cruiser wheels. Dick Rizzo, frontside slappy
What’s the opposite of a round-table discussion?
Mark Humienek rolled up. But before I could see that signature finesse...
...it was time to get to the show
Skatepark, venue, Zion billboard, this place does it all!
Stoked to see familiar faces
The night’s guest of honor picked up some very special company on the way over
Pointers up!
Especially for John Devine and the crew from Minnows. I still owe you a tip. Hit me with that Venny request!
What’s that fake proverb that hustle culture dudes talk about? On your shirt there is one wolf. Feed it nachos. I think that’s it
Green-screen selfie booth courtesy of… Selfie Booth?! Imagine all the epic places you can get snapped in front of
Let's test it out, guys
Look, you're in Delaware
Now you're back outside with your friends. Fun stuff
Helmkamp and Humienek approved
Hey, dudes! I like your… beers
It’s hard to know what to do with your hands without a cup or a Liquid Death
Speaking of... I’d like to report over two dozen thirst homicides. You know the perp
Glad to see Solomon Cardenas survived the JIT intro
I stopped to admire the art, but it kinda just felt like looking in a mirror
Here you really can have it all
The behind-the-scenes heroes, Jersey Dave, Cass Lopez and Chris Ramos
Hey, gorgeous
Shit’s about to get heavy now!
Wait, this is just where we were. Oh well, good to see some love for Hoosier tech god Nyle Lovett
Josh also picked up his special plus one on the way
Here’s some skate trivia: which one of these fellas has a part in Static III that I still watch when I need some fire?
Fellow media men? They were there. Good to see you, Wilson
Jimmy McDonald, Rob Gonyon and Danny Falla asked me to Join, or Die… so either I’m on 5Boro in 2012 or I’m dead, writing this blog with St. Peter helping me track down names
I think Andrew’s on, too
Photographers, epic East-Coasters and people who are supposed to be pro but decided to write code instead were there! That’s to say I saw Cole Giordano, Jimmy McDonald and Sean Doyle
That World Cup hat would probably fetch a few bucks on Depop
Coda red! Duncan, Dylan Goldberger and Jake Keenan in the rare moment they’re not ripping all over the Tri-State area
Your name is Sam? My name is Sam, too!
Caught up with Sadiq and Johnny
Some of the best in the city
Isaac had the pointer up, too
Justin got caught in the crossfire
You’re not gonna "forget to tip" like Ted, are you?
Purple haze with Jadeja, Davey and Naquan
This is the part of the night where I fucked up my shutter speed. Queezy and Thomas Dritsas didn’t mind
Queens killer Marcello knows everyone!
Davey snapped up with Big Hen Dawg
Almost too much style to fit into one picture—Dustin Eggeling and Mark Humienek
Oh shit, it must be time to get this thing going
Packed house
Floor seats mean something different at a premiere
It’s just a skate video. Don’t overthink it
Good Q. Congrats on over a decade in this hairy business, though
Dick Rizzo, the hero we need
Everyone stop in to Minnows when you’re in BK. Best bar by far
That’s about it for the night. Let’s say peace to a few on the way out. Chicago ruler Jesse Ward was in the building and making friends with a Scorpio
John, Danny and Jovi loved it
Thanks again for everything, Dave! We simply must do it again
Give another round of applause for this gang, then watch it when it hits this very site
