STEPHEN BUGGICA RAW TAPES: EPISODE 1 – “DUSTIN EGGELING PORCH TAPES”

TOA’s newest “Raw Tapes” series is with Tampa, Florida’s Steve Buggica. Steve has been holding down the Tampa skate scene with his VX and death lens for a long time now. Filming for his own “Busted Mic” series, the Shaqueefa videos and assisting with many Hopps, Theories and Magenta projects over the years, he has amassed a hefty archive of Sony mini-DV tapes.
