What more
need be said about Amold Schwarzenegger? Power, grace, odor and steroids all come
together to form the perfect skater. He is so strong that he never wears safety equipment and when
he rides it is either make it or break it (the ramp that is). After pumping transitions for fifteen years,
nothing gets him off like a private full-pipe session with his personal trainer Günter Hugivzafuc
is driven by the sounds of Nitzer Ebb, Kiss and Manilow. This true power broker is perfecting
move, the "Schwarzeneggair, in which he stands on the platform when a skater does an
their nose and tail, presses them over his head and discards them back into the ramp.
Before you kick him off your halfpipe, remember his ine from Terminator: Tilbe back

"Look Ma, no hands!" screams Axl Rose, king of the hard rock group Guns N'
Roses, describing his latest trick, "the beef injector." While Ax admits he doesn'
skate as much as he used to, he feels he deserves this Raw Meat because, 11
put as much time in skating as Iving out my rock fantasy, I'd be pro." If Axd is not
in the tour bus listening to Elton John, he is out scouting new terrain. With all the
money in the world. Mr. Rose is starting a company called Heroin and promoting
skating as his drug of choice. If you want to skate with Axl, go 'round backstage
and ask the big, bearded guy named Snake il "ittle Axd can come out and play."

Schwarzenegger
Hailing from the outskirts of Hoboken, New Jersey, is street
burler Frank Sinatra. This 61-year-old ripdog with more than forty
years of skating under his belt lives the ultimate skater life, riding the
streets of Las Vegas in the moming and working on the strip for thirty
grand a night. While he has ridden vert, pools and downhill, he prefers
to be thought of as a street shredder. No stranger to innovation, the
Chairman is given credit for redefining the term "door die," in life and
in skating. When not on board, he is either eating linguine with John
Gott and Jimmy Hoffa or trying his hand at craps. Ol' Blue Eyes, as
he likes to be called, lives by they credo "Love me or leave me alone."
