WILD RIDERS OF BOARDZI
SCENE: AN ABANDONED GARAGE
IN AN ALLEYWAY, DEEP IN THE
HEART OF VARIO X. NACHO CRUZ
IS SPINNING 360S IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE ROOM WHILE HE WAITS
FOR THE REST OF THE VATOS
BANDITOS. HE'S CALLED THEM
TOGETHER TO TELL THEM ABOUT
THE BANKS AT THE NEW SAVINGS
& LOAN PARKING LOT. SUDDENLY
THE DOOR FLIES OPEN...
"Nachol What's up, man?" a
gang member's voice cries
Mucho. Ese. Today we hit the
Savings and Loan banks of the
Keeler type
MMM-HMM. I checked them
out early this morning, man s
way mala, eh, or my name ain
Joker'
"Jes. I know Nocho snarls, "We're
gonna rip it to shreds-that and
any Zakes that show up."
Joker replies, "Yeah, especially
that bastard Blade"
Nacho gets a distant look in his
eyes, which slowly changes to a
glowing red, as if they were on
fire. His face contorts in unison as
he begins to speak
TT The shows up. I will personaly
bum his life severely."
acho, in a big way Joker
SI
says as he throws a few punches
with enthusiasm
Nacho's rage soon reduces to a
calm. He closes his eyes and lets
out a heavy sigh. His right hand
pats his breast pockets for his cigar-
ettes. Nothing. He looks down and
sees them of his feet. Must've
dropped them while I was spinning
360s he thinks to himself. "Damn,
almost stepped on them" He pulls
NACHO CRUZ
one out and flicks it into the air
and closes his eyes as it falls, catch-
ing the butt in his mouth Joker
already has a lighter out and lights
Nacho's smoko. Nacho takes a
long drag then exhales smoke rings
out of his nose and says. "So
Joker... A loud gravelly sound
reverberates from his throat. He
then spits out a large phlegm-ball
that pegs a tomcat on the head
which up to now had been asleep
on a nearby windowsill. "Donde
estan los vatos Banditos?" Joker
ponders on this bit and then replies,
ON
they're
re down by the drugstore
me paint
Fool Nacho yells as he
throws his cigarettes at Joker's
face, don't want you stupid faces
doin' that crap.
"Nacho," Joker winces as he
rubs his cheek where the cigarette
hit. We're not gonna stiff it. We're
gonna graffiti some walls over on
Zeke's turt
Well you should've said so in
the first place, stupid-head"
T'm sorry. Nacho"
SOK" he says as he pulls out
another smoke
Not long afterwards, the rest of
the gang shows up. Seven in all.
Some may not look like much, but
all are tried and true s
skate fighters
who alone could give any hand-
ful of you readers a run for your
money. Truly Vario's finest in t
in the
highest regard. Nacho briets the
group and instructs them to spread
out into attack formation at the
first sight of any Zekes. They then
proceed to skate two miles to the
Savings and Loan
Meanwhile, in the back of the
Savings and Loan...
Eddy Boy gaps an astonished
gnarls?
Bladel "sn't it
Yeah in
it's better than I thought"
screams Eddy Boy "LET'S SKATEP
They attack the banks with
vicious fury. A total no-holds-barred
full-on skate session. They use every
move i in the book as well as im
provised moves
"Hey, Bladel Check out this
MOFO slide." Eddy Boy puffed as
he converged on the embank-
ment with blinding speed, execut
ing the maneuver in a way that
would even put its namesake to
shame
Blade locks on and then glances
over to where the bank ends with
a sheer 3 or 4 foot drop Cars pull
right up to the shelf and park
"Hmmm, I wonder," Blade thinks to
himself. "Hey, Eddy Boy, c'mere."
"Whatcha want, Blade?"
"Do you think that we could
skate up the bank onto the deck
and then onto the car's hood and
do a gnarly windshield slide or

ACID, BUT THEY ARE
NOT ALONE!
-SAVINGS AND LOAN PARKING ONLY-
roof grinder fly-off to the pave-
ment? But before Blade could
finish, Eddy Boy was already land-
ing on the car's hood and com-
miting himself to a full-on 1-2 slide
to the roof of the car and then
acid dropping to ground zero
Now, seeing this, Blade seemed to
have lost all control of his jaw mus
cles. Eddy Boy wheeled over and
said. "What do you think? But Blade
offered no reply. He just stored in
the direction of the urethane
streaked car. "BLADE" Eddy Boy's
voice snapped 1 said, what'd you
think?
Gnarly." Blade's faintly
recovering voice whispered "Just
gnarls
Eddy Boy began to understand
Blade's emotion and so his face
beamed accordingly with pride.
But, all good things must diminish
in the height of his joy he reverts
to gloom because in the large
windows of the Savings and Loan
Building before him he sees the
reflection of the Vatos Banditos
entering the driveway behind him
