TRASH
TAASH
Welcome back bearing heads'. Time for
some more greasy, grimy, slipsludge
shards of skate world gossip. So hold on to
your huevos and your forks and loosen
your belt because this trash is coming right
down on your heads.
Hey grinders! Can you believe this? You
recall the ancient art of streaking don't
you? It was popular in the 70s and
involved running through populated areas,
sans clothing, usually for some cause or
due to insecurity. Well, just recently a male
was witnessed streaking across the
campus at UC Davis on a skateboard,
they say he was screaming Streak Skate!
Probably a chemistry student. Rumors of
other sightings have filtered into H.Q., one
of a girl, but so far, no photos.
HEALINGS AND WITCHCRAFT
Christ Hosol has, no doubt, broken all
known healing records. He broke his arm
during the Midwest Melee tour in Neb-
raska and after a short three weeks of
convalescing, which included having his
shoes tied by young teenage girls, he's
been declared healthy and fit to begin
recuperation exercises and light skating.
Rumor has it that his treatment was
performed by a cultist from North Dakota.
Hm...
None other than the infamous spud,
Potatahead, Rich "Video-man' Rose and
Traitor Vee were witnessed dining at
Scott's in San Francisco and later cruising
the Napa valley (affectionately called, 'the
wine country')... Not to be outdone by
some tight-trousered foreigner, Potato
purchased 12 cases of the rarest Char-
donay and then flowed half of the stock to
our staff.
IN TINSEL TOWN...
Man on the boob tube, Stacy Peralta,
has re-established living quarters to a
Hollywood-Swinging bachelors abode that
sports a killer view of downtown. In fact,
while scoping out the view on his new
patio, Stacy realized that he shared the
patio with his neighbor who is none other
than D. David Morin. Fate twists in
mysterious ways.
Mofo has split from his 20th floor
penthouse where he had a picturesque
view of the big city-the San Francisco
Bay, the Bay Bridge and Oakland-and
relocated to D.C. (Daly City) into a
cardboard hut near a deserted railroad.
station. He thus hopes to reach a higher
plane of literary acumen. His boss and
heavy media-god K.T., has now moved to
a five story mansion in which there are at
least 1186 different Thrasher cover
possibilities.
THE DEVILS DOING
The renown Red Devils opened a major
gig for the Charlie Daniels Band, at San
Francisco's Kabuki theatre. The Devils
were promptly pelted with plastic cowboy
hats and tin belt buckles... Emmy Lee and
Johnny Ray, wailed nevertheless to the
enjoyment of those who knew better.
Dick Novak is now a multi-million dollar
contractor. Find a need-he'll fill it.
Meanwhile protege T. Martin is busy
developing serious breakthroughs in
board and wheel design while studying the
effects of alcohol on grasshoppers.
It seems that Steve Caballero's latest
venture is in the T-shirt world... very "hip"
(ha ha). Faction shirts are being produced
in San Jose and the orders are coming in
wads. Interested? Contact the Faction...
Hey Cab, we're even for the flowage and
no more plugs.
Speaking of no plugs... D.P. has taken to
making midnight phone calls to whoever
will listen, explaining why all is so twisted.
Amateur skater Owen Nieder, in his bid
to be "Joe-versatile," entered a freestyle
event at Del Mar. His freestyle attire
included a new kind of freestyle shoes
called "The Jack Boot." The shoes allow
for such tricky "Owen" tricks as
"Kicking the Board, Nieder Roll," and the
popular "Limp
and Grovel" trick.
COULDN'T BE... COULD IT?
Is it true: that Jeff Newton found out the
hard way that ramps are illegal on some
Hiways.
Is it true: that Lowboy brought 365 pieces
of mail to Lincoln, Nebraska, and when
he couldn't find a mail box he gave them to
charity as a community art project?
Is it true: that Cornhead, AKA C. Williams
never stops talking when awake and
sleepwalks in his sleep?
Is it true: that there may be a skate camp
in Nebraska in '84?
Is it true: that Malba and Ruff have come
up with a new system to retain all you read?
Midwest Melee (from page 27)
definite present and future threat.
Lance "now if we get separated I'll know
where to wait for you" Mountain skated
with style and total abandonment. He went
for a multitude of unmakeable and
previously unthought of moves. Lance
made more than a few and consequently
blew out many of the assembled. Moun-
tain, whose typical rave-on runs are
frequently beyond the intellectual com-
prehension of "ordinary contest" judges,
appears to be a man whose talents are
specifically suited for a jam session format.
His fellow skaters voted him the session
overall favorite, Lance was last seen
skating the giant fiberglass chef statue
outside of a Lincoln restaurant.
The Midwest Melee proved a lot of
things to a lot of people. Nebraska skaters
certainly are on a par with any others in the
world. As I walked down the rows of visiting
automobiles parked on the pleasant
tree-lined streets of the neighborhood, I
realized that this contest could have been
conducted with equal validity in a variety of
places (Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa,
Florida, California, Arizona, Illinois, New
York, the Dakotas, Virginia, the Carolinas,
Tennessee, etc., these are just some of the
state license plate tags which were spotted
in the event area). It can be held in your
back yard with your friends any time you
want.
The festivities were conducted with a
minimum amount of hassles. People of far
differing backgrounds came peaceably
together for the sheer enjoyment of
witnessing some of the world's best at their
chosen activity. Parents, punks, moderns,
preppies, bikers, college types, teachers,
judges, tradesmen, skaters, footballers,
basketballers, whites, blacks, browns,
Asians, etc., all came and went away
impressed.
No admission was charged, no points
were given and taken, no trash was left,
nothing was stolen, and there was a
noticeable lack of bad trips, bad vibes,
overt drugs and other such counter-
productive attitudes and activities.
The blueprint for the future seems to
indicate that the next experiment is for
skaters to judge themselves via videotape
(skate, tape and debate). On my way out of
town I listened to the radio news. Besides
the usual assemblage of violence, chaos
and terror, there were three reports
concerning major Amerikan sports stars
(one National League pitching star whose
chemical-caused problems caused him to
miss the playoffs, a former N.F.L. star
doing time for selling cocaine, and
mandatory drug testing in the N.B.A.).
After having witnessed such a stunning
skate event, the conclusions were obvious.
If the main purpose of athletic involvement
is self-enjoyment and self-improvement,
then something's definitely wrong in mass
medialand. But relax, there is hope on the
horizon. In the not-so-distant past a ramp
was sited next to the Nebraska football
coach's house and his son has been
known to session. Contemporary urban
sport for a modern society. Proud to be a
farmer.
-Lowboy
Is it true: that roller skate wheels are in
and conicals are out?
Is it true: that John Gibson woke up one
morning and thought he was the hottest
female vertical skater in the world?
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
RODNEY SKATES, STOPPAGE WAS
PREVENTED. FOREVER RODNEY
SKATE.
CLOSE BUT NOT QUITE
It started with a letter from somewhere in
Arizona. Enclosed, a photo of some 19'
pipes being laid down at a giant construc-
tion site. The return address on the
envelope read simply, the Radsters, Flag.
Az. WE tracked down the Radsters and
set up a rendevous in Phoenix, to be led
to the secret spot. Unfortunately, the rain
gods showered the holy-hell out of Arizona
in a succesive torrent of storms, causing
massive killer floods throughout the state.
Thus rendering the pipes obviously
unrideable. R 1 is headed down there to
assess the damages and talk with the
construction people. R 1 says, Chances
are, it will be awhile before we can skate...
that just means, they'll be there to skate
just that much longer. Well, we won't hold
our breath, we'll just wait and skate.
ROCKIN' BILLY
Billy Ruff and a few of his associates
have formed a band, The Outsiders and
will debut in area code 619 on the 23rd of
this month. BREAK A LEG!
ON BOARD
QUOTABLE QUOTES
"A curb grind is better than the daily grind."
Scott Edwards
Simpsonville, North Carolina
"I have found small banks with parking
blocks on top. They are good for dorking
on but that's it. It's like trying to surf
the Great Lakes."
Sgt. Rock
Denver, Colorado.
"Don't conform, contort!"
Spermy Bak
London, England
Just think, there are a lot of kids who
just pose.
WHERE THE RAMP MEETS THE SURF
Down Pacifica Way, about 17 stone
throws from the Devils-pit is the site of
torrid and heated ramp sessions. Red
wine, abalone and deep sea dinners
accompanying some sessions is not
uncommon. Unfortunately it's by invitation
only and the Doberman's hold the list.
Well, it's beginning to stagnate and
ferment in this column, just go out and
SKATE and DESTROY. By the way, we
just can't pass up this capitalistic thought,
but SKATE and DESTROY Stickers and
the mini-THRASHER Logo stickers are
now available from everybodys favorite,
you know what, for the cheap low price of
35e each. Hey, it's a buy, Hey, honest
man, we wouldn't jive you. What? Well,
your mama too!! BYE!
