ON BOARD
Next month in THRASHER: Kangaroos
and vandals-a special report.
Honolulu? Was not Hosoi in fact in the area
appearing at a Val Surf demo in front of
thousands of people? Did Cab eventually
forfeit because he was waiting for a new
washer and dryer to be delivered? Did the
Niners beat the Redskins? Did Flej, Jimmy
Namba, Troy Sliter and Ray Meyer demo to
a crowd of football hooligans who didn't know
the difference? Did both Cab and Christ get
paid anyway?
Question 24: Did promotional genius Meti-
ver actually swoop in and buy up all of a com-
peting skate industrial giant's advertising.
space in a national mag at a tremendous dis-
count? Is Metiver intent on being the new
major mogul? Is another millionaire check-
ing out of the club?
Speaking more social agenda. The Powell-
Peralta Public Domain premiere continues to
be the social event for all reasons and all
seasons, as global parties continue to occur.
First there was Hollywood, then came
Melbourne, Australia. Now in the works, ac-
cording to rumor, are events in Japan, Ger-
many, Canada, France, England, Scandi-
navia, South America and the South Pole.
If you can catch one, do. For the record,
Hosol narrowly missed the first two, but he
vows to catch one of the next seven.
For further computation, will Denike ac-
tually have the world of punk at his pad
following the much debated debut of the San-
ta Cruz vid? Speaking of which, wasn't that
the legendary Skipper Boy dressed up in a
cop suit inside an LA. county jail? Weren't
Scott Ditrich, Jeff Crawford, Mr. Pat, Natas,
Grosso and Salba in close proximity? So
what was going down on 19th Avenue? Was
this a video shoot or what? Has Engblom
joined the force? Does he really own Spade
Cooley's old ranch? Did he really resign as
Jimmy'Z promotional director? Did Natas,
Dressen, Oster and Chris Cook all follow
him? Is this defection creating imbalance in
the clothing world? Did Ganzer actually
spend four grand to find Richard Nixon's old
car motor? When will the corporate feeding
frenzy subside?
Question 30: Did ace lensman Tony
Friedkin actually get his first pair of glasses?
Was he operating under the advice of M.Fo?
Is old Runaway Skatepark local Jerry "Da
Ham" Hammer considering turning pro
freestyle? Does he actually have over thirty
'50s Cadillac Biarritz's in a Gardena ware-
house? Does he use these as car launch
tour
Above: City boy T. Guerrero thought he'd seen every-
thing until he spied this grouple at a Gwar Halloween
gig. Left: Mike Crescini flashes the sign of the three-
prong fork. Right: Bud man Keith Meek and cholo".
Ricky Winsor celebrate.
hang in this private car/ramp complex?
ramps as rumored? Do South Bay locals
Are Florida locals bragging of three legal
pools currently under siege. Tate Clain is
said to have been outstanding.
Is Malibu back country steep hill roller
Santos Flannagan's ex-betty now married
to some guy on TV named Johnny Carson?
Is Ray Underhill somewhat openly hang-
ing with an ultra-prominent skate industri-
alist's daughter as widely rumored?
Is a certain Concrete Jungle employee
being paid big bucks to play anti-capitalist
music in Europe? Is a certain record com-
pany/management type actually paying
another guy to cover his gig at the Jungle?
Is the group (choose one) A) The New
Archies B) MDC or C) Chappaquidick?
Was Rodney Mullen seen hanging with
the Cramps at the Fillmore just prior to tap-
ing the Incredible Sunday show? Was
Mullen's TV demo for an estimated audience
of 28 million the most watched session in the
history of the world?
How did all of those THRASHER stickers
get backstage at the Fillmore? Was the
backstage passes? Is Morizen Foche
Fillmore staff really using them as official
somehow involved? Is Kevin Tumbleweed
Ancell (last seen on stage with Mad Dog
Theater as "God") now a viable S.F. enter-
tainer? Did he open for The Cramps? Is this
the new urban skate blues or what?
Chet Thomas is the man in the Cheerios
commerical.
