MAGNUSSON
John Hogan has quit Gullwing and is now
working for Impact management, a firm that
manages skaters for contracts, promos, etc.
Reportedly, Roskopp has recently hit up
Impact for management. What's wrong the
Santa Cruz gang, Rob?
Comrade skateboarders...There are 15
small skateboarding clubs in the Soviet
Union looking for contacts with skate-
boarders in the U.S. Contact Radio Moscow.
Everyone left for England in November.
Jason Jesse, Salba, Grosso, Keenan, Lee
Ralph, Christ and host of many others. We
heard there was no contest and the ramp was
shit. Supposedly, the Limeys just made up
some story about a contest to swindle N.H.S.
and others.
Thomas and Ray Barbie were all there on
a recent Friday.
While street skating about Melrose, John
A. Ghostly and Spidey saw their hero. No,
it wasn't Duane, but someone of equal
habits. Keith Richards was doing his X-Mas
shopping early.
The Bones Boys finally publically revealed
the existence of their long rumored training
facility. Ramps, 100-foot slider bars and photo
studio are key aspects of this deal. Molo, O,

NOT A MYSTERY ANYMORE
ON BOARD
"I came in just as the skate and create era
was leaving and now I'm leaving just as it's
coming back."
Dave Carson
"I plan on taking over this company."
The response to our "Mystery Legend"
puzzle in the January issue was
phenomenal. At press time the count was
somewhere around 500. Roughly two-thirds
of these dedicated readers correctly named
the legendary skater as Bob Biniak of
Dogtown/Logan Earth Ski past. Russ Mullis
of Warner Robins, GA, will receive a
THRASHER hooded sweatshirt for the first
correct entry. Runners-up were Bill
Guillaume of Houston and Trent Butcher of
Chico, CA. Honorable mentions go to Trevor
King of Mawson, Australia, for first correct
entry from a foreign land and Jay Cabler of
Knoxville, TN, for enclosing a copy of Bob's
Skateboarder Magazine interview. Good to
hear from all you old timers out there.

Dear Everyone,
UAGE
There have been a lot of people saying that Tony Magnusson los flying through the air
so much that his trucks NEVER touch coping We at Magsson Designs would be to
say that this is definitely not true!! Tony loves lip tricks. & you don't believe us, just check
out this gnarly frontside grind (Rony style, of course)...
On November 2, 1987 the original "Master of Disaster", Duane Peters, paid us the ultimate
compliment by riding our new Hell Concave Pro Model in the Arizona Pro Vert Contest
Thanks. Duane, and welcome backd
Also...thanks for all the mail! We're swimming through it so if we haven't gotten back
to you yet, we will. To all of you who were stoked on the last Magrag...wait 'NEXT
issuel! Send your dollar quick because we're already close to being sold out
Notice to all Mindrinders: You Brys are the hottest...keep skating and call us if you need
anything
Oh yeah...this guy right here is Don Szabo. He's one of the guys that we picked up on
our new team, along with Ben Job, John Sonners, and Karl Hyndman. Don has won his
first 3 contests as a Sponsored Am. Congratulations, Don! Keep ripping
Finally we'd like to thank everybody for their support.
Later,
MAGNUSSON DESIGNS
