ON BOARD
campaign were Rich Novak (the enforcer)
and Tim Plumarta (point man). Further
thanks to our colorman on the video, D.
Hofffman, and our starter Frank Hawk.
Thanks to all those who helped by being
there and not being square.
As everyone knows, our motto is "By
Skateboarders, for Skateboarders... so
forth and so on! Unfortunately or fortu-
nately (however you want to look at it) it
usually gets us in hassles with those who
don't skate, but they think they know what
skating is about. One person who is
decidedly hip to the skate scene is
A.W.H.'s Art Harris. This renowned
distributor of skate materials has come up
with a great idea for our Photograffitti
feature. Simply put, we are requesting
from our readers, photos and short essays
(stories) on the spot you skate (ramps,
loading docks, streets; whatever). It will be
known as our Photo/Article of the Month.
So get out your camera, sharpen your
pencils and start sending in the info.
Thanks for the idea, Art!
Talking about ideas, no sooner had the
Ramp Battle ended, that we spotted Stacy
P. and Fausto huddled in a corner,
gesturing angles and waving frantically

QUOTES FROM THE GUT
"If you run out of things to do, don't do
anything-or, when you estimate you're
guessing, and the probability of you being
wrong is 91%."-NEIL BLENDER
"Well, don't mess up the concrete then."
Palmdale police officer's lack of reason to
harass local skaters.
MORE HARASSMENT
Jay Smith and girlfriend apprehended
for skating a closed SKATERCROSS.
There is no justice.
Don't tell anyone we told you, but
someone said that neighbors surrounding
the Palmdale ramp, are petitioning for the
removal of the super structure. As the
energy of skateboarding spreads through-
out the land, the system will increase its
resistance to it. When skating in questiona-
ble terrain, keep an ear open and beware
of all surroundings, noting all exits. Don't
get caught, stop skate harassment. We
can outsmart them.
