POOL ESTATE
watched it fall just as I hit the Volks-
wagon. Naturally I was knocked out,
I guess I fell two stories. Now I'm sit-
ting at home listening to the Crumb-
suckers, staring at a deck with a rack-
ed, smushed nose
The mall is suing me for everything
I busted and I have to pay for the
damages to the car I landed on. I'll
need a new board and the hospital
bill for two broken arms will come to
about $2.000. Plus, I'm grounded for
two months. I'm glad my parents are
nice to me.
Okay dudes, you can cross that in-
ground swimming pool off your
Christmas list now. I believe I've
found a solution for all you pool
starved skaters. Pick up a local real
estate guide and look for a house that
has a swimming pool. If there is no
address, call up the realtors and
they'll give you directions. As long as
you use a polite, adult voice, they will
be more than happy to tell you. Now
you're all set; just find the home and
shred the pool. If it's unskateable
then try it again at another place. If
you can't find any real estate guides
then just call the local realtors and
tell them you're interested in a home
with a pool, they're bound to know PS. One of my friends wrote this for
of at least one. So quit bitching and
start looking. It works for me. Just
remember one thing-if there's a will,
there's a way.

Me and a couple of friends are
awesome at riding pools, that is, with
water in them. I am on a swim team
with a bunch of other skaters and we
take kickboards and jump off the div-
ing boards. You can do tricks that you
regularly can't do on cement and you
slowly get the feel for them. But, as
almost everwhere we skate, we were
stopped of our pool riding because
we've broken all the kickboards. So
if any of you have access to a swim-
ming pool with diving boards, check
it out. It's fun.

SHOPPING MAUL
Last week some friends and I were
out skating. I was getting pretty wild
and one of the guys dared me to
skate down the escalator at the shop-
ping mall. I did it, or, I started to.
When I was halfway down, this em-
ployee started yelling at me and ran
up the escalator. My friends, who
were standing nearby, started laugh-
ing. I tried to skate away and knock-
ed a bunch of stuff down. You know,
lamps, dishes, etc. Unfortunately I
wasn't looking where I was going and
ran into one of those big plexiglass
windows-like a lookout point to let
sun in. It was plastic so I didn't get
cut. My board went out with me. I
me.

BIG BANG THEORY
The other night my friend and I
were waiting for a train at a Chicago
L station. I was a little bored and I had
my skate with me, so I decided to pop
a few ollies up on the train platform.
I am a 22 year old, 175 pound skater
and the noise I make from ollies and
bomb drops is pretty loud. Anyway.
the cops downstairs thought the
noise was gunshots. Before I know
it, there were four of Chicago's fin-
est pointing their huge silver pistols
at us! They were so mad when I ex-
plained to them that the noise was
from my skate they they wanted to
smash my board. (Good thing they
didn't, otherwise the bomb squad
would have shown up.) I thought you
guys might like to hear my story since
it redefines the term "skate and
annoy."

I got an idea that I think is a good
one. I think Powell/Peralta, Sims, Vi-
sion, G&S, etc. should make skate-
boarding cards. You know, like foot-
ball cards. I think it would be a good
idea because I am, like, heavily into
skating. So much so that my local
skate shop calls me by name!
