ROGER EXPOUNDS ON A

WHEN RAILS WERE MADE
OUT OF WOOD, DAVE

OFF THE COPING OF
MARINA'S UPPER
KEYHOLE. POWERING
STYLISH MODERN MOVER
AND TRICK POET OMAR
HASSAN (BOTTOM) BUSTS
A FAKE FRONTSIDE HALF-
CAB MUTE GRAB.
THROWING IT EVERY
WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE,
DANNY MAYER (RIGHT)
CONVOLUTES A BACKSIDE
AERIAL VARIAL
Though I made up ho-hos. Neil
Blender said he'd been trying
them. NEAL HENDRIX: 360 frontside
ollie grind-in. Ollies-to-axle. Mu
HENTZMAN: Frontside feeble grinds-
to-fakie. Ollie-to-nosetaps for a
long time. SwN NUNEZ: Caballer-
al. DANNY MAYER: The 540' body
varial, but some kid probably did it
on a backyard mini before me.
DAY WAY: No, stick to the basics.
Old school is the best. STEVE SAIZ:
Yes, maybe, no: I just can't think
of anything. OMAR HASSAN: Fast-
plant body varial fakie. Towy
MAGNUSSON: 360 frontside airs.
Not 360 varials, Schultes did
those. Silly contest circus lines.
backside shove-it-to-stale grab.
RAY UNDERHILL: Maybe I did back-
side boneless-to-fakie earlier than:
most, probably not though. How
about pop tart stuff? MARK
PARTAIN: Flopping Louie (fish out-
of-water) step hop front foot
impossible-to-shove it. Fifty-two
pick-up board backwards back toe-
to-outside rails. Step off, catch-to-
frontside air and land. STEVE
CABALLERO: Lipslide-to-Smith grind
in Del Mar's pool back in 1984.
360° ollie airs. JOHN LUCERO: Slappy.
Big Ed McMahon publisher's clear-
ing house sweepstakes ollies.
CHRISTIAN HOS: Rocket airs,
shove-it varial tailgrab, Christ air
or Noldair, alley-oop varial-to-indy
grab, alley-oop behind the back-to-
frontside air. DARRYL DELGADO:
Frontside boneless-to-tailslider on
a curb or bank and a knee-down
backside Bert on a bank. STEVE
SALISIAN: The long dong slide-to-big
dong revert. Not really, but I was
doing invert fakie body jars years
ago. There's a skateboard revolu-
tion going on right now. I'm trying
to keep up with the times, but
that's life. BRYCE KANICHTS: The
nosepicker. I learned it on Tommy
G.'s front doorstep back in 1983.
MICKE ALBA: Everything has been
done somewhere, sometime, by
someone else, B 4 U.
