Broadway showcases the Bay Area's older skateable architecture, visiting the East Bay’s smaller cities and rural towns around Northern California. Filmed over the course of 8 years, Broadway is the result of a deep appreciation for the built environment, the people, and the cultural experiences that are often overlooked. A masterpiece for sure.

Filmed and edited by Brett Nichols, featuring Bay Area skateboarders Josh Paz, DJ Rosa, Greg DeMartini, Reuben Barrack, Gerardo Peniche, Kyle Militante, Harrison Hafner, Bobby Groves, Wes Allard, Chris Jatoft and many more.

Broadway is the second half of a double-feature, following on from Pathways 2, a surreal journey through imagined skateable modern architecture.

Charles Mingus was a jazz legend who helped to break down the restrictions that existed for people whose artistic expression was called jazz. He was a master bassist with an expressive style that had to fight and claw its way to respectability; he created challenging and emotional performances in venues where the ring of the cash register competed with his music during performances; and he developed musical techniques that had an immediate impact on American music, despite never being invited to fill any academic position. All of these paradoxes are brought together by his standing as a jazz hero.

Showing our appreciation for jazz music and it's creative influence on skateboarding over the decades.
