BUTTSHOT HALL OF FAME
Owen Neider checks out an album of over 200 photos of fine fannies
from the notorious spring break in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
HOT HOUSE
Into every life a little rain must
fall? Following the public premiere
of Tony Hawk's new video entitled
"A Man Called Frank" and the
reception party for his recent wed-
ding, a fire broke out in stately
Hawk manor. Fortunately, the
blaze was contained in a small
service room but smoke damage
was evident throughout the home.
(Please be advised that this gener-
al blackening was not the result of
those fine Havana Tampa cigars
so prominently displayed else-
where in this column.) While the
erudite Mrs. Cindy Hawk super-
vised the extensive clean-up and
renovation, Tony resumed his
Summer '91 skate tour. Fortunate-
ly, T. Hawk's newest trampoline
survived intact. The story of Frank
meanwhile is the underground vid
hit of '91, surpassing even "The
Brotherhood," which features
Sledge Balma in desperate acts
of destruction.
Talking more underground cine-
ma verité: Is there actually a crude
magnetic-tape vid depicting Mor-
timer, Conklin and Frazier apply-
ing quick ice to some very private
parts? What is this? Earn while
you burn or are the lads merely
preparing for that summer snow-
board trip to the Chilean Andes?
BALI BALL
In an unrelated South American
move, Brazilian coach Marcos
Conde showed up at Uluwatu on
Bali with his latest surf/skate-
honed moves. Also on hand to
blow minds on the 10' plus faces
was his protege Andrea Lopes,
who rode hard and deep over the
shallow reefs. Other skateable
notables making big moves on the
water included The Fitzgerald
Brothers from Oz and Arnoldo
Speyer, who took his skate/surf quiver
down to deadly Sumbawa. Jay Adams
was in the vicinity, presumably complet-
ing his Balinese Tattoo suit. Sam
George and Don Balch were on hand
on their respective honeymoons. Curi
ously observed was the new teak half-
pipe complex hidden in the canyon be-
hind Padang Padang. Kuta Beach local
freestylers work out doing the Jinge-
Jinge-the Indo move of the 90s.
Jason Carney is reputed, even in far-
off Indonesia, to be hitting feeble grind
handrails with kickflip offs.
Cross training: World-class watermen
Gerry Lopez, Derek Ho, and Dorner
were seen snowboarding at Mammoth
Mountain. Rumor has it that perennial
documentarian Guy Motil may have
been serving as technical advisor.
END OF AN ERA?
Primo and Diane Desiderio, skate
stars of the Sea World show, are off to
Paris to appear on TV and then perhaps
to Spain for a year-long show run.
Rumor has it their departure might
cause the cancellation of the long-run
ning City Lights show. (After all, who
could replace them?) Word is that a
trained bird show is now being readied.
Said to be suspending publication:
Beach Culture. Known to be the new
Surfer Mag art director: David Carson
formerly of Action Now, TWS, Musician
and Beach Culture. Can the ultra-con-
Longboard of the Month. Jim Jones (alias
Hawk) stands in with his pride and joy, a
six-foot cross-laminated waterski street
sled complete with mini longhorns mount
ed on the nose, Texas style. Right: Stacy
Peralta had his head enlarged to acco-
modate a vast well of recently acquired
knowledge.
servative surf types handle contempo-
rary design? Good luck, Dave.
Christian Hosoi, David Hackett,
SK8 Tate and Mark Hunt, among oth-
ers, were on tap for the Save Venice
Pavilion Benefit. Taters was the M.C. of
record in this noble effort to help the
homeless and save an internationally
ranked skate spot.
PLAY IT BACKWARDS
The National Appropriate Technology
Assistance Service (NATAS) is an infor-
mation and technical assistance
resource provided by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Energy. The question is, do they
also have to fend off accusations result-
ing from the fact that their initials, when
transposed, spell out Satan? Is the U.S.
Dept. of Energy even aware of the flip-
flop? Do they care?
Rolling Stone has been circling the
coast trying to trap Chip Morton on film
for some sort of coastal quiz/exposé/arti-
cle. Pete Wilkinson 1) Man about town
2) former CIA operative or 3) main-
stream Gotham journalist (choose one)
has been observed busting forth lately
with Brazil types, not including Ken
McKnight, Steve Barriloti,
Steve Sherman, Talldog.
Skank King, Skip Engblom,
Jimmy Fitzpatrick and others.
Word up be that R.S. editor.
Jan Wenner is so pumped/agi-
tated that he's ordering a future
skate exposé from the hidden
agenda. Is this life or the final
solution?
TIED THE KNOT
Up on the marriage block
this month: Longtime skate
surfer Bruce Walker wed the
former Miss Stephanie Gibbs.
Steve Alba made it official with his
best girl, Julie. Jason Jessee and
Heather followed suit.
ASKQUEUE
Question One Which Tracker
employee managed to get the State of
Nevada to pull Larry Balma's license for
services rendered? Did this unnamed
employee run up so many offenses
in a company vehicle that the gov-
ernment hunted L.B. down?
Did Benny Imhoff from the
Flying Fish in Madison, Wiscon-
sin, cruelly jam his ankle as he tried
to imitate the dreaded Sean Cliver
one-footed curb dog bomb drop?
Beggars can't be choosers. Best of
luck and a speedy recovery is wished
for all.
Question Four: Will the aforemen-
tioned Rolling Stone exposé photograph-
THRASHER
DENTURE CLINIC
382 2848
ically reveal Chip Morton's fabled nip-
ple rings? Will this revelation come as a
shock to Chip's father, who is blissfully
unaware of his son's metallic hangers?
Is there a reason why Morto always puts
on his shirt whenever his dad is in the
vicinity?
Above: It
appears that
we own a
denture clinic
in Seminole,
Oklahoma.
"Now, how does it
go? You light these suckers
with the right hand, then you
puff in the left side of the
mouth, or is it light with the
left and puff while standing
on one foot, or...?
