This year's first GLSA contest was
held at Apple Skatepark in Colum
bus, Ohio. Manager Kevin Tate
made sure that everyone felt
welcome and that all systems
were go for the contest. Skaters
had traveled up to eight hours
one way, to make this event t
proved to be, without a doubt, the
finest display of radical skate-
boarding seen in this area to date.
The 16 and over group was so
close inc
in ability that only one point
separated the top three skaters
After the tie for first was settled, the
final standings showed Mark Car
penter in the first spot. Shawn Scott

landed in sec
ond and bones (OWELL-
Bob Reeves
PERALTA) settled for a
a close third
Donnie Nelson edged out Bil
Danforth of Endless Summer. Surfin
Turf's Nelson and Danforth really
had their acts together and de-
nitely should be looked out for in
future contests. A brother act, 2
and Marty Deaudian, of Surfin Turf
skated well, as did OP. Moore of

ES
It looked like Jex Harrison of
Sims, had finally met his Waterloo.
from the likes of Apple local Chris
Phillips (SANTA CRUZ). Jex had not
lost a contest in two years and felt
that Chris was his strongest com
petition. Philips had a hot routine
but falls cost him the number one
spot. Harrison's energy packed
routine was flawless and he
remains undefeated Dave Dooley
also skated strongly in his first tour
with the ES. Team
