streetstyler flipped out at a batch of
high gloss Stern photographers in the
middle of his run, then physically
threatened them after the run? How is it
that 95 bicycles were reported missing
to the Münster Polizeihof and 50 were
found, stomped into tangled metal in
front of the Odeon nightclub? Was not
Red Dog seen hurling half
full mugs of lager at the

a single room at the City Hotel and filled
it with no less than 23 bodies only to be
ejected with the help of the Polizei?
Was not the Hansa House laid under
siege by three thousand young skaters
demanding from Team SC Product or

trash cans full of water and other liquids
from the sixth floor window? Which
Australian Pro Vert rider accidentally
qualified for the semifinals absolutely
sussed? Why did certain Euro skaters
turn pro for the Münster comp, only to
not make a showing at Le Grand
Bornand? Which skate photog clan-
destinely switched room tags with a not
so illustrious U.S. publication for a
better view with a balcony? On top of all
of that, what about that Grosso
character, and how did one of Rocco's
rented Mercedes get all crushed?

Intergalactically speaking, you're in a
bad way this month Scorp. Venus and
Pluto are housin' it up over in the fifth
lunar quadrant and the powerful cosmic
resonance they're bound to create can
only negatively effect your destiny.
Think twice about skating anything
other than curbs and jump ramps before
the 5th, take plenty of vitamin C and
avoid sleeping with your mouth open.
The rain clouds should lift from your
metaphysical parade by the 16th, so plan
your pool assaults for later in the month.
Backside Smith grinds and layback
rollouts are a must at this point, but
control that trick-to-fakie urge till after
