JOHN MOH
Gliding fast and furious through the streets of
Springfield, VA, John Moh emulates the moves of
Lance D., David Y. and the skaters from
New Orleans and D.C. He's nineteen years old
and he leaves the radio on Top 40, stuffs gumbo
down his throat and finds enjoyment watching
TV. John doesn't ask for much from life;
he just wants "to be happy."

CHUCK WAMPLER
With an attitude for altitude, Chuck Wampler
lofts and destroys. It figures that seventeen-year-
old Chuck listens to Slayer, Excel and King
Diamond. If he doesn't go to college, or maybe
turn pro, Chuck will probably rot and go
homeless. Until then, he'll hang with his L.A.
friends, fingerboard and chow Mom's cooking.

MAX SCHAAF
Ruling the skate world in and around Oaktown,
CA, Max Schaaf slashes wall ride-to-ho-ho-crotch
bust airs. Spandex, tight tank-tops and Doc
Martins are the clothes of choice as Max rolls
with his tough buddies Glue, Jake, Dave, Tony,
Roger and Neil. With seventeen years of life
behind him, he chows oyster banana mustard pie
and frozen meat popcicles with the best of them.
Someday he'll date the girl south of him in
government class, but until then Max will live by
his favorite saying, "Of course I can do that."

TRENT GAINES
This marauder from La Mirada likes to get down
on the flat ground. Besides that, he likes mainly
everything. Keep the reggae grooves and the rap
facts blasting and Trent will shake the boogie.
Serve up some junk food and this sixteen-year-
old will go to town. He admires Jason Lee, Matt
Hensley and Ray Barbee. Otherwise, he just
wants to find some fast women.
