or Eddie Olmos? Was it called "Lean On
Me"? Did longtime Warner-Columbia-
Burbank studios exec Walter Peralta "coin-
cidentally retire" the next day? Is he the dad
of a prominent skater? Did Bryce Kanights
hear this and bail to Breckenridge, Colorado?

was avoided when Bondo Bom Williams

TOTE BOARD
Add to your list of cities where skating has
been banned from specific downtown areas
if not all together: Pasadena, San Marino,
Temple City, Arcadia, Alhambra, Bishop, San
Dimas (that's just California) and Orlando,
Florida, where reportedly they won't give you
a ticket for a first offense; they escort you to
the jailhouse.
Add to your list of skateparks (public and
pay): Spoke 'n Sport in Spokane, WA; Stone
Edge in South Daytona, FL (with design help
from Bill Danforth); Dillo Skatepark in Austin,
TX; City Skates in Modesto, CA; Skateboard
Connection in Martinez, GA, etc. The trash-
men here say that this ban skating/build
parks trend will lead down a stale path. We've
seen it before-do you want to be told where
to skate and what to wear again?
