We soon de-tubed and skated toward the
gig, wreaking anarchy and chaos. We found
the club, then asked a bouncer to get Harley
from the Cro-mags for us. The wanker said
no dice in a thick cockney accent. We paid
even though we could have gotten in for free.
We had to check our skateboards with an
irate blonde. Great. We ascended the stairs
to the bar and ordered some piss warm but
potent lager. Harley appeared from behind
the bar and surprised us with hello's and
handshakes. We shot the shit then headed
for a spot next to the stage. Right after the
first chord, Keenan went apeshit. It was hot
to see him work out his frustrations. Human
therapy. Jesse and Grosso slammed and did
the frontside grind, the newest dance craze.
Christian and I stood off to the side of the pit.
The Americans were fully manhandling
the dance floor. The locals did limp stage
dives. Grosso jumped off a monitor then flip-
ped into the crowd, twice. Mr. Jesse,
who always manages to find trouble,
almost got into a fight. I got a free t-shirt
from the band but lost it. Bummer. The
band was great and after the encore we
split outside for fresh air. Jason almost
got in another fight because some
wanker wanted his Dogtown hat. We
had more people, plus our skates, so the
enemy had second thoughts.
About ten of us got tubed on the way
home. We just followed our stickers to
find the way back. About a block away
from Motel Hell the Grossman lost his
board in the street. A car skidded to
avoid it and its occupants were a bit
shaken and stirred. A lady got out and
wailed at Grosso because her baby was
screaming bloody murder. We tried to
explain our situation but the mother was
in hysterics. Her husband jumped out
of the car to try to calm her but it was
hopeless. Grosso told her that he was
sincerely sorry. We snuck into the hotel
and partied the rest of the night. I se-
cretly wished I was back in the U.S.A.
Andy the promoter woke Christ and
me at 7:50 a.m. on Saturday morning. We
had slept at Motel Hell for four days now.
Andy said that the B.B.C. wanted to interview
us at 8:15. I asked him why we were still in
the shitty hotel. Christ told Andy that we
weren't going anywhere. You should have
seen the look on our P.A.L.'s face then. Andy
wanted to play games and didn't know that
skaters were better at it. We spoke our minds
and good old Andy exited stage right to the
Deadbeat's room. I got up and showered,
then packed. I wanted out of Motel Hell now.
The promoter came back and said he
couldn't wake the others up. You could tell
he was getting heavily bummed.
Andy and I talked a little bit as I gave him
a tour of our beloved room. I showed him the
wax toilet paper, the moldy shower pit, the
door that opened with no key and the phone
in the hall that no longer worked. I further
explained that our sponsors had paid for our
plane fares and the promoters were to take
care of everything else. This hadn't hap-1
pened and that's why the guys wouldn't wake
up. It was now 8:15 and Andy was panick-
ing. He split to call the B.B.C. and told me
to wake the others. I read a book instead.
Andy eventually got everybody up by pro-
mising a new hotel as soon as the interview
was over. He also gave us 30 pounds each
but still owed us for four days of food money.
We hopped into two cars for the trip to the
B.B.C. It was 8:45 and we were supposed to
be there at 9:00a.m. but Christ made us wait
until the last minute. Now it was our turn.
We arrived at the B.B.C. twenty minutes
later, after an exhilarating car ride during
which our driver had attained speeds up to
a hundred miles per hour. Speed racer, in-
deed. The camera crews weren't even ready
when we got there. There were some ramps
set up so we warmed up even though it was
about 25 degrees. Gator did inverts while
Hosoi and I slapped rock 'n rolls. Jason
grinded and the Gonz did a lien to head and
Jason Jesse and Jeff Grosso, waiting for a double-decker.
shoulders. The Grossman just rolled around
on his board perfecting the newest Dexter
Dork moves. The interview dude told Gator
to piss off, so Gator accidently let his board
hit the guy's ankle. Hot. The B.B.C. camera
crew wanted us to do some parctice runs,
so we skated as close to the cameras as
possible. Some lady dressed like a bumble-
bee interviewed Christ. She was kindal
sketchy, so Christian told her. He also told
her that the British were rude and pointed
out the interview dude's remark about Gator
to prove his point. She said, "Oh, sorry. We'll
get on our knees to say thank you next time."
Andy told the English telly audience all
about the event he was putting on. This was
all a scam, someone said as we stopped
skating. I kicked over a TV. monitor as we
left. I smiled 'cuz action spoke louder than
words. Everybody wanted to vacate the
premises as soon as possible because of
bad vibes 1000 but we were all very hungry.
We decided to eat at the B.B.C's famous
cafeteria after Andy said he'd pay. Rumor had
it that Paul McBeatle was on the premises,
so Hosoi and I went looking for him, leaving
another trail of stickers.
After lunch we split for the metal ramp to
session again. There were many locals in at-
tendance this time. It was better the second
time around and we all skated with reckless
abandon. This was the best part of our trip
and the English skaters were the coolest
people we'd met so far.
Following the session we took cabs back
to Motel Hell to pack up our gear. We moved
quickly and efficiently. We also re-arranged
Grosso's room then pissed in the corner
where the heater was. I just had to leave my
scent somewhere.
Andy had to pay the cabby 50 pounds to
drive us to the Royal Scot hotel. Good. We
checked in and once again had two adjoiners
in a far corner. Our new, heated rooms had
phones, big beds, TVs, refrigerators, hot tea,
showers with hot water and lots of
space. This was more like it. Andy gave
us another 40 pounds for cab fare.
Before he left, he took Christ aside and
told him to tell us not to order room ser-
vice or use the phone. Ha! Ha! We set-
tled in and relaxed the rest of the night.
We woke up Sunday morning bright
and early to go shopping at Camden
market. We'd heard you could get lots
of leather goods there and we all wanted
leather pants and jackets. We tried to
find it but either nobody knew where it
was or they wouldn't tell us. This was
the last straw.
We cabbed it to the Sobell Centre, the
demo site. We had a big room to
ourselves, complete with food and drink.
We all ate, then hung out for what seem-
ed like hours. Some gave autographs
to the kids while the rest stretched to
loosen our sore muscles. We made lots
of new friends. Some skaters came all
the way from Scotland to see the action.
Talk about dedication.
The street demo didn't start until 5:30
p.m. and only lasted about fifteen
minutes. They had a nasty railroad track for
slide-n-rolls. Talk about primitive. There were
about three thousand kids shouting for chan-
nel airs. So the skaters kindly obliged with
frontsides and big ollies. We didn't get to
skate long because right away they brought
out the bikes again. This was just a B.M.X.
event with a skate demo in the middle of it.
We were all kind of bummed.
The bike contest was running late so the
ramp event wouldn't even start until 8:30 p.m.
We weren't getting paid to do this but we
stuck it out for over six hours. There were
3,000 kids paying five pounds (roughly ten
American dollars) each, which meant a lot
of money for the promoter, even after building
rental, lights, promotion, etc. Andy had a nice
car and he put us in a hotel favored by welfare
recipients. He was going to make thousands
of dollars and couldn't even afford to pay us
a measly five hundred and then, to top it off,
he couldn't run his event on time. Was it all
really a big misunderstanding?
We finally got to skate (Commoued on page 123)
