A ramp raging, three-
cities-in-six days tour
of Australia brought the
biggest entourage of

shores Down Under. The
brief but demo-packed tour
was met with a host of
hospitality by the locals
and the frothing crowds of
skate fans that turned out
at every stop. Spread: Lance
form on a
Mountain laps in half-pipe in
sketchy portable half-pi
Melbourne's city square.
Inset: Masters Roskopp and
Phillips looking worldly weary
as they pause for a poolside
lounge with a commanding
view of the urban Sydney skyline.
