FUNGUS AMONG US
Friends and family relaxin' and maxin' at the Cafe Du Nord, San Francisco.
where Jessica Hahn was seen
aiming those silicone bust bombs at
Shawn Cliver. Then Steve had
the first 3-D video of "Bust Bongo
Fiesta that anyone had ever
seen. Now rumor had it that shock-
jock Stern is so enamored with the
notorious Napping Negro design
that he wants to use it on his show.
PARTY TIME
At the Skater of the Year banquet
held at the posh Cafe Du Nord in
San Francisco, many legends of
skating were present and account-
ed for. Seen munching and punch-
ing in no particular order were
Lucero, Grigley, Klindt, Guer-
rero, Vitello, Powell, EMB.
Pushead and Sharon Stone. The
undercover affair was over by two
leaving Team Pierre to chow/clean
up on the left-over deli platters.
BOOMING BASS
Ray Barbee has managed to
blow up his car on an every other
weekend basis for the last four
months. He claims it's about music.
In an apparently unrelated move,
Vince Turner is fabled to be mak-
ing new custom composite boards
for slalom. A few have been sur-

Francisco and San Jo.
The 55s Curb graveyard in Hun-
tington Beach is on fire. Locals
Brad Hayes, Jason Dill, Omar
and Bo Ikeda say that the no-bust
and the smooth pavement make it
the shit.
Down Florida way, the Skate-
park of Tampa is open for business.
Live-in owner Brian Schaefer has
a vert ramp that gets killed every
day by Mike Frazier, Paul Zitzer
and Leonard Trubia while local
street dogs Mike Daher, Bo Turner
and the Conklins waste the hips
and benches in back.
Sadder than the future. Is it true
that the one time Catalina Classic
downhill slalom promoter Allen
Seymoure is rumored to be
fronting a proposed skate ramp in
the NFL half-time show tour? Not
sure just what year you're in? Didn't
Seymoure create the Legends of
Surfing and the Legends of Rock
Climbing all within recent history?
Guess what tribute is next?
Did Glen Friedman fly to LA to
attend a Beastie Boys gig but tell no
one he went there? Is there a dup-
licitous femme scam at work here?
Is it true, as the Simmons Market
Research Bureau claims, that kids
spend 700 million a year on skate-
related products alone? They claim
the average rider is fourteen years
old and comes from a family with a
mean income of forty-five grand.
Sound like anybody you know?
SNOW JOB
Is Plan B testing the waters in the
snowboard market? Are some rid-
ers upset at Mike's plan to either get
rich or get snowed in?
Which pro recently allegedly
superglued a competitor's board.
to the ramp surface while the owner
was sitting on it?
Did a neophyte Hollywood
producer show up claiming
to have photos of one Cindy
Hawk? They appear to be
old modeling shots. Are they
a figment of the past or the
present? Who is this guy
anyway? Are the pictures
actually an imposter?
Wade Speyer is redesign-
ing the super-tight mini at
his Concord home. Mean-
while, roommate Karma
Tsocheff has been known
to skate all night in the con-
crete Contra Costa oasis.
Down south, Ed Templeton
does the same thing at a custom
garage with portable pallets.
