FAUSTO 'KORY' LOPEZ CASAMAYO
Stalefish, invert flips, nose sliders and frontside channel
ollies are but a few of the moves that Fausto has up his
sleeves. South of the border in Ensenada, this cat busts
out to the sounds of Agent Orange, D.R.I., U2 and the
Cure. Shovelling burgers and pizza like there's no tom-
morow, eighteen-year-old Casamayo wants to turn pro
soon so he can hook up with some nice chicks.
MARC SHIGENAKA
Mini-ramps, street and pools are the areas of Shigena-
ka's focus. Diggin' the tunes of Bad Religion, Jane's
Addiction and the Geto Boys, this Walnut, CA, local
throws smooth and fast moves in the style of Josh
Swindell and Christian Hosoi. Then it's time to roll up
some burritos and a few enchiladas and get to work
finishing college while still skating as much as he can.

value of freestyle, streetstyle, vertical ramp, mini-ramp,
pools, banks and basically anything that's rideable.
Wise beyond his years at the age of sixteen, this loco
La Puente, CA, local holds respect for the likes of Steve
and Micke Alba, Christian Hosoi and Steve Caballero.
Likewise, he loves music and will continue to rock and
roll for a long time to come.
