Always about two or three tricks in front
of D. David Duncan's trick-by-trick
announcing, Neal Hendrix twisted
it sideways on melancholy-to-lakies
(left) in the burning heats of the
afternoon finals. Neal skated strong to
sixth, throwing the air out and staying
glue-footed to his board during delicate
high-speed lip work including
over-rotating ollies-to-nose grinds,
pivots and numerous lap-overs.
Christian Hosoi didn't even bother
to pull several of the new lip moves he
was working
with in practice,
nixing the backside
ollie-to-tail for power airs
like one-footed tail-grabbing
Benihana danglers (above), and a
screaming, sketchy re-entry Madonna
from the low wall to the extension.
Christ sliced and diced the air space
like no one's business to bring home
fourth place. Eyeballs fell out of sockets
as Mike Youssefpour rode air-to-
fakle elevators to the top of the sky and
then took them in backwards (bottom
left) during the highest air competition.
In the vert finals, Youssefpour pulled
straight-leg, lock-knee six-foot plus
Indy airs, Madonnas taller than most
people's minds could accept, and high
and mighty indy-to-fakies to bring home
ninth place. Sean Miller's back was
one glant open wound from Masonite
burns, but that didn't stop him from
scoring fifth place against the top
shots. Hurtling through strong runs and
floating backside airs (top left). Sean
used McTwists to set-up for neck-
craning fingerflip indy airs.
