GRILLED FLESH
By Simon Woodstock
Have you ever thought that skate-
boarding was like a barbecue? Well, I
have, but maybe that's because I have a
lot more spare time than most people.
So anyway, let me break it down for
you. We all know what it takes to build
a skateboard: a deck, trucks, wheels,
bearings, tape and bolts. Most of you
know what it takes to build a barbecue
also: a grill, coals, lighter fluid, corn, salad
and BBQ sauce.
So the basic components for skate-
boarding and barbecuing are standard
and won't fluctuate much from one posse
to the next. However, there is a definite
variable that exists on both accounts. You
must have a proper selection of meat to
make either of the two events happen at
all. You must have a climactic main course
to make all the other products become
the secondary garnish that they were
intended to be.
So you sit wasting precious daylight at
the butcher's block in search of the per-
fect mound of flesh. You chuck aside
another chuck steak and flunk another
flank as the meat locker's refrigeration
gives you a cold sweat. But one cut of
meat will always leave the others in
freon dust and nearly melt as it sizzles in
your grill. Lean and mean, Ed Templeton will tick
le your taste buds every time, leaving you on the
floor with your belly full, still begging for more.

ERR TIME
About ten months
ago, I broke my ankle on
a parachute jump (1
burnt in hard). Since
then, I lost almost every
one of my tricks. I'd just
be happy to skate but
the pressure it puts on
my ankle really kills. Any
suggestions on what I
could do?
