METAL MAN
Metal earned his moniker by appearing at a Rhode
Island pool, repeatedly cranking a Venom tape. Now his
musical tastes veer more toward hardcore and Frank Zappa,
but the name remains the same. This 26-year-old pizza-pasta-junk-
food junkie lives by the three-letter code (F-U-N) and can't seem
to get enough music, girls, dogs, cats and parties. His main love
is, of course, skating-especially bong hit, diving board (vibrating
one-truck axle stall), invert, air-grind sessions. Metal hopes
to skate all over the States and meet a lot of people. You
say life is too short? Ask Metal Man and he'll set you
straight on the fact that it ain't over till it's
over. Skate and have fun.
