Pipeline for a final rad session. DH
could not believe his eyes, for no
sooner had he recovered from
the afternoon shock of having his
prappie lifestyle shook to the
core, he then had t

that he could no longer live

DH was spared the embarass-
ment of being amongst live skate
rowdies. The Pipeline left its mark
on our Production Manager Andy
Croft, who wrenched his knee on
al
a bail out from 10 o'clock. Thus his
duties for the remainder of the
weekend were of the rolling
variety coming from Pedro Point
we know we were in good hands
The next morning we kicked-off
the day with eggs-on-a-shingle by
KT, and of course two liters of
coffee. The command post had
endured once again, and a two-
hour cleaning session left the
ploce livable. With our cleaning
dues behind us we then left for
our final destination, The Ranch at
Colton and a session with Allan
Losi and the Colton crew. The Son
Bernadino area never looked
better, the mountains were
covered with bright hues of green
and red and the temperature was
in the 70's, killer for skating. As wo
arrived at the Ranch Gil Losi and
son Jr. were pulling in they along
with Gi's wife Janet operate this
beautiful facility KT. wanted to get
some skate time on the snake run,
so he immediately hopped on his
stick for a quick session Allan Losi
showed up soon after our arrival
and quickly began to rip the

and 12 footer), half-pipe (ler),
reservoir (great for bankod
freestyle) and slalom run. The park
also features a locker and shower
room, a must feature for future
designs. Unfortunately our time in
LA was over, our ruthless publisher
wanted us back by Monday AM
so we bid later to our hosts and
spit for home, fortunately for us
Croft just rolled on.
