Just a year after Blueprint’s Waiting For The World, Dan Magee debuted First Broadcast. Filmed over 12 months and premiered in December 2001, this wasn’t another Blueprint video, but rather a celebration of British skateboarding with skaters from a few different teams including Unabomber, Organic and of course Blueprint. First Broadcast stars Vaughan Baker, Franklin Stephens, Colin Kennedy, John Rattray, Paul Shier, Nick Jensen, Ali Cairns, a young Danny Brady, Toby Shuall, Mark Baines, Scott Palmer and more. Filmed by Magee and Adam Mondon this is without question a British classic.

The follow-up to 2003’s Bon Appetit! and the peak of trans-Atlantic political skateboard video naming, Freedom Fries solidified filmmaker Fred Mortagne's break from Flip Skateboards and moved Cliché firmly into the stateside mainstream.
