HEAVY
METAL
"Dude, we're lost, man" "Well, the road signs Back East suck. They get you
lost. Wait. STOP! There's a Shell station." "Hey, do you know where Cedar Crest Country Club is?" "Yep,
sure do. Go back about a mile that way. Then there's a big sign with a picture of a guy golfing on it that
says Cedar Crest. Turn right, and follow the turny road to the end and the ramp is right there." "Thanks."
"Don't speed, you'll get a ticket." "Who cares." "Whoa, stop. Almost missed the sign. Wow! It's in a country
club. God, where is this place? Follow those skate stickers on the road signs...Ah, civilization."
"Shit! It's chained up." "Real coping. Killer. And all beautiful steel. Harsh, just like the weather and the
skating. Wow, stairs and everything. There's a club-house underneath the ramp with windows, showers and
a hot-tub. This is gonna be killer when it's completed." "Well, we can't skate, let's go on to Baltimore." ►
