BROKE Family
Recently my good friend Bryan (Skandunas) sent me a link to the new BROKE promo and it looks dope. I got the inside scoop of how everything started but this is only scratching the surface of what these guys have to offer. Skate Mafia maybe what you see on the Berrics rep’n 619 but BROKE is the crew keeping SD on the map for street cred.
BIRTH OF BROKE . . .
It was a hardware company first, David Bonwell, Sean Mynster and I thought of the idea in front of a 711 about 7 years ago
WHEN WAS THE FIRST PRODUCTION OF BROKE BOARDS, HOW MANY?
It was 50 boards and that was about 3 years ago
HOW MANY BROKE BOARDS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DATE, GRAPHICS & TOTAL COUNT
We have had 7 graphics and about 350 boards made
FAVORITE LOCAL PARKS & ROAD TRIPS
Probably Renette Park or Memorial. We go to San Francisco and Arizona about 4 times a year
ANY FUNNY BROKE STORIES YOU WANNA SHARE
There’s a lot of them . . . We got kicked out of a hotel in Arizona once from El Chris being stupid. It was right after a Chargers game, he had stolen an 18 pack and thought he was LT running through the hotel with it and got caught. And the best was when we gave a guy who just robbed a bank a ride home and didnt know until after when I saw that my car was on the news.
