OCEANSIDE DISA-PIER
I am a longtime lover of your mag.
Usually, by the day after I receive it
I have read everything in it. One thing
that really concerns me is the NSA
skating contest that was supposed
to take place at Oceanside Pier on
September 12th and 13th. My friend
and I drove all the way up there from
Solana Beach to see nothing but
thirty skaters looking for a contest.
Was the contest rescheduled for
some other time or date? The NSA
even sent me a letter giving me infor-
mation about the contest. I was really
not too happy.

The Oceanside Pro Street and Free-
style was cancelled and then re-
scheduled at the Carson Velodrome
on Sept. 26, 1987, Unfortunately, it
was much too late for us to mention
it in the mag. The NSA has been
stung this season by scheduling pro-
blems and venue availability. We urge
you to write them at NSA, PO Box
3645, San Bernardino, CA 92404, or
call the hotline (714) 882-3406 for the
latest updates. T-ed
MAD DAD
I've got something to say about all
you dudes in the States who com
plain about your mom and dad. Well,
my dad took a sledge hammer,
smashed my board to bits, then burnt
it in the fire. But it wouldn't burn, so
he threw it into a nearby lake. That's
real weird!

stunt? Moto would like to get a

RIDING THE FAULT
I live in Southern California where
earthquakes aren't odd. In the mom-
ing I was skating to my friend's house
like I do every day. When I got there
my friend informed me that at 7:42
that morning we had one of our
earthquakes. This explained the
reason I heard things falling in
people's houses and why I got
showered with leaves by a tree. But
for some reason, while everything
around me was shaking. I was
skating away. Skate and be safe.

THINK SMALL
I think your mag is really cool, but
I wish you would have more about
ramp skating. My friends and I have
a very small halfpipe. We can't do.
that good of tricks, because the ramp
is so small. I would like some pointers
on how to get more wood without
paying so much money.

No need for more wood. The rage:
these days is mini-ramps. See page

HEAVEN CAN SKATE
One day I was casually flying to
Europe when I noticed I wasn't in a
plane. "Damn," I thought. "This is
going to be painful." So then an idea
sprang into my mind, ACID DROP!
I pulled my faithful Guerrero from my
big pocket and placed it beneath my
feet. I estimated I was 25,000 feet in
the air, so 24,999 feet later I was
freaked. Luckily, I landed in the big-
gest skatepark in Europe. (I forgot the
name.) When I landed, a billion
stoked skaters got down on their
knees and started to worship me.
Finally, one of 'em noticed I was
bleeding all over the place. They all
carried me to a hospital where I died
because some guy (on a bike) killed
the only doctor there. Well, I made
it into heaven, so now I'm going to
skate Saint Peter's ramp. Later

GET TO THE BACK OF THE BUS
On July 28, 1987, the City Council
passed a law stating that there will
be no skateboarding in Public
Square, a place where we skate all
the time. They described the skate-
board as a single board mounted
upon two wheels without the benefit
of handlebars or other manual con-
trol devices. The penalties of skate-
boarding for the first time caught are
a $25 fine and 90 days in jail. The
second time we are caught it's $50
and 90 days in jail. And now, when
we go into public restaurants on
Public Square and they ask us if we
are skaters and will not serve us
Scott Malinowski

Two wheels? Doesn't sound like the
law applies to what you're doing. Ted
