practiced, just made the fifteen cut and ended up in the top five.
Shawny Mac turned into a trick machine: 360" both ways, blindside
melons to fakie on the big bank and a killer nollie nose pick over the
spine that put $400 in his pocket when his entry fee was paid. It is
about time he clued the rest of the world on to what we already know.
5-3 Showtime John Cardiel was on a rampage. Still hungry for his
first win, John-boy held back a little and made clean runs. Noseslides
the whole bar, Smith grinds on the bar, Smith spine transfers over
the spine and huge backside 180's over the retaining wall were all
crushed beneath his wheels and he had 600 bones to spare.
1-2 After placing top ten at San Jose, Mike Carroll must have real-
ized that he can do good in contests. Mike has board control like no
other and it showed when he floated the highest olies of the contest.
alley-oop 360° off the nugget, switchstance noseslides and some
Monday: hot tricks, full control and a thousand clams for a down pay
huge heelflips. He was number one Sunday and he didn't let up on
ment on a two door Lexus.
11-1 Alone in the victory circle was someone who has been there

took the check. Like a heavyweight champion, if you can't knock him
out, he'll get the decision.
PARTY TIME
Bryce wasn't too tired, and sure enough there was another ses
sion at 43. It was the last weekend that the vert ramp was to be
there and the folks who showed put the session in the history
books. Mark (Red) Scott, Coco, Julien, Cardiel, Speyer, Santarossa,
Hassan, Vogt and Smiley tore it apart. Scott Smiley deserves spe-
cial recognition for skate antics like crail varial to nosegrind revert
and hand down backside Smith ollie re-entry. The party was going
great until some drunk fool stole BK's keys and someone pissed
behind the vert ramp. Sure enough the session was over. I didn't
mind, I was tired and my ride was leaving.
WALLENBERG ma
money and actually kissing it, he trudged back up the steps for his
date with destiny. The crowd could feel each push as he powered
toward the edge. BOOM! He was in the air for what seemed like an
eternity and twisting at the pavement. He landed it clean. The erup-
tion from the fans was deafening as he strolled through the cheer-
ing throng. When he did come to a stop, he was lifted up in the air
like Joe Montana after winning the Superbowl. The final tally was
$154, some change, 3 slugs and 3 Roughrider condoms. As they
say in the movies: "No guts, no glory."
