stuck at a ramp in Arizona and your name
is Christian Hosol and Craig Johnson,
so you put your necklaces in your mouths
and rub the sides of your heads
together. That's the closest we could come
to figuring this picture out.
YO-ING
How about this guy doing "round the
world" with two yo-yos while riding a skate?
It's none other than Mr. Tom Kuhn, yo-yo
entrepreneur and licensed dentist, who
can sometimes be found cruising through
Golden Gate Park with a vast array of yo-yo
tricks. Tom says, "Yeah, I skate," but can
you do a man-on-a-flying-trapeze?

TRASH
...and so this guy, right out of the blue,
came walking backwards down the street,
whistling a little three-note tune and saying
"Reagan? Mondale?" Then resumed the
three-note ditty, and said, "Mondale?
Reagan?" again. But enough about
politics, Billy Ruff just bought himself a
bright-red Porsche convertible. Yeah, just
what you wanted to hear, right? If you think
that's bad...finally, after many, many
hours (years) of tedious labor and
setbacks, Big-E's baby-powder-blue '56
Chevy is just about ready to hit the streets.
"M" OF "D"
Remember the "Master of Disaster,"
Mr. Debonaire himself, Duane Peters?
Well, he just recently went under the knife
for that ailing knee syndrome. But that's
not all, topping that, our man of La-Muncho
is now slated to be a father any day now
(as of this writing). Our condolences on the
knee, and congrats on the upcoming kid.
JAPAN INVADED

stereos, sushi, chopstix, video equipment,
massages, tatoos, statues, bowls (for
haircuts?) and video equipment. Cab is
writing it all down for a short story,
complete with all facts, figures, and what
he really thinks about Japanese women.
Coming soon!!
Our more reliable Florida spy informs us
here at the mag, that entrepreneur Paul
Schmitt, is in an all-out expansion mode,
and has in the works, a new high-tech
board factory. What in the hell does that
mean? Boards with wings, or maybe a little
digital L.E.D. readout on the nose?
Stacy Peralta, you've seen him in the
shower, on skateboards, on the
sidelines...now, he's landed an acting job
in an upcoming Kodak commercial. Keep
your eyes peeled.
GAMBLING IN CALIF.?
Mr. Steve Olson (Steve) lost a $100
wager to Fausto (A.K.A. Fiasco,
Gnit-o-crit, the boss) when he failed to
beat Caballero at the Capitola streetstyle.
Bulky immediately asked for another shot
at the Powell ace, but as of this date, odds
have not yet been posted. We'll try and
keep you up on this tale of fortune. Further
notes on Capitola's main show...the
wheels were burning for this great event.
Strange-oids in tow or skate gods in force?
Christian Hosol in Fredericks of Hol-
lywood black-net stockings over skate
shorts and pads. (Cute). Wild party in the
hills near Santa Cruz found Wild-Texans
screaming unrepeatables at local betties,
and meaning it in their own Texas size
vocal chords. Bruno Peters (foreigner or
touris?), learns what a "Keg"
is... East coast skater nearly,
severly lost a heated debate with Mofo,
when the latter decided words were
useless and nearly resorted to his
patented "primitive" argument-ending
round-house manuever. But he was just
kidding, wasn't he? The area was
festooned with related incidents throughout
the weekend which included a radical
Derby-park party/session 'til dark, a 21st
St. beach party, a cold-cocked Texan, and
sun-wallowing. Grant Brittain was the
harbinger of a 6'10" surfboard from
Tracker Larry to Mo (am I surfing yet?)
Fo. Two days later, a thoroughly stoked
M.Fo tried it out on some San Francisco
waves, and broke the skeg, clean off. Now
a thoroughly dry Mo talks about all the
waves he should've caught. Shut-up!
WHAT ARE THESE GUYS DOING, WHY
ARE THEY DOING IT, AND DO THEY DO
IT OFTEN?
So it was lunchtime, you hadn't had a
bite to eat in weeks, the presidential
elections are just around the corner, you're
