SUMMER FUN
inaugurated a major snowboard
manager's name to the cops?
Unfortunately for our hero, the
police discovered the bogus ID and
nailed him. The last time this
occurred, the falsely implicated
team manger spent three days with
the DA while he proved his inno-
cence. This time, despite heavy
pressure from the cops to file
charges against the skater/perpe-
trator, the manager merely dropped
the guy from the team.

Tershays, both Schwartzes and six police cars all
doing at Wade Speyer's house on a hot summer
night? They were all helping him celebrate his 21st birth-
day. The kegs were flowing and the anarchy ramp ses-
sions were truly unruly. Other drifters may or may not
have included Al Petersen, Dune, Shawn Martin,
Pierre, Doggin, Brian Chung, Simon and Billy Idol.
In other party news, Andy Roy had
a fourth of July party at his house
and resheeted his vert ramp just for
the occasion. Julien, Hosoi and
Cardiel all had their way with her
and loved it. Later on in the day,
some steroid crazed Bad Boy Club
rejects stormed the party and beat
roof on anyone they wanted. Some
sources say that after the meleé,
they tried riding the ramp and paid
the price with skin.
TEAM SCREAM
Jason Rothmeyer is out at Foun-
dation while Swank denies any
rumors that Steve Berra may take
his place. Up in Huntington Beach,
John Lucero was still waiting for a
call from Gino lannucci to tell of his
switch to the World stable. Repor-
tedly the Big Apple burler was
wined and dined on the boat and
given the royal treatment. Sound
familiar? Even farther north, Danny
Minnick has hooked up with Acme.
Skater/artiste Aaron Rose is
returning to the West Coast in order
to hook-up a skater art show at
Gallery X in Los Angeles. All of the
usual suspects seen in the influential
NYC show at Alleged will be includ-
ed. Plus, the space is large and
skateable.
Natas Kaupas dealt off his NSX.

slow and not

founded his latest
endeavor called Clutch, a
garment firm.
Bert Bradley showed up
in Ohio on a movie called
Double Dragons doing
skate stunt work. True to
form, he sought out farm
barns searching for vintage
Mustang parts. Meanwhile,
Rodney Mullen, on tour in
the general vicinity, continued
to interview indigent types on
their views regarding divinity.
Brad Dorfman arranged at

Not since Richard Nixon let an
American Table Tennis team into

asses kicked, has the Chinese gov

the lucky ones to go were Max

two steps behind?

Ridgeway, last seen
appearing in a West Coast play-
house production as Bumpy in
Shaft's Big Score, is now said to be
pondering a career on Broadway. He
is currently fishing in Huntington,
West Virginia, and refuses all phone
calls. His sudden remoteness has
triggered rumors of his possible
retirement from his highly visible
position at Tracker.
Polar Bear Agnew, Skip Eng-

Lance Carson and Brian Hilbers
are all building skate and surfboards
together at a factory in Venice.
Lance is said to be on tap for an

Kevin Ancell's recent birthday
party at the Slow Club drew every-
one from the Mo'fessionals to Rudy
and Fritz of the Frisco Hell's
Angels. While Tumbleweed played
the musical saw and fondled his gift

Mark Price, who through his stew-
ardship at team Gotcha sponsored
everyone from pro skaters like
Lester Kasai to world surfing
chargers like Martin Potter, has
abruptly fled the corporate world
in favor of a small private island in
Fiji. In place at his home base on
Tavarva is said to be a meticulously
crafted hardwood bowl of suitable
scale and contours. Also on the
island are three world class surf
freaks. Former Zephyr man Allen

Coleman, Georgeanne Dean and
the Pizz. Billy Gibbons' 1933 Ford
Eliminator coupe showed up at the

Color is rumored to be in transi-
tion. On a recent day in LA, Rocco,
Moblow. The Fish, Markovich,
Cochrane and a host of others met
to trash it all out. Jeremy Wray was
a frequently-discussed topic. In-
terested observers note that Jeremy
had just spent a week-and-a-half
with Jeff Klindt
Schlossbach confirmed that
Christianity is a marvel to behold. He
claims his immersion in a world open
near Torrance is merely a ploy to
"convert nonbelievers through
example." Meanwhile, the decep-
tive Sturt appears normal and a bit
calmer perhaps. Mike Folmer claims
that skating for Christ is the new
tip/trend.
Glenn E Friedman spent the day
with the South Central Cartel near
Roscoe's House of Chicken and
Waffles. Then he passed the evening
with the Hughes Brothers, Bill
Duke, Larry Fishburne, Doctor Dre,
Snoop Dog, Ice
Cube and Starvin

miere of the Bros

next day he was

Carleton Curtis of
Folsom, CA, got
these line beau-

down a very
steep hill. "Those

Cameron and Jinx were
deep into the design

remains as to whether
the skaters learned
more about politics or
if the politicians

The sumptuous wedding of Mike
and Mary Ternasky drew a full deck.
Most everyone was in attendance
except for Mike Carroll who lost the
directions and missed the gig.
Particularly outstanding were Sal,
Sheffey, Duffy, Howard and
Rodney. The unattached Rocco

Ternasky responded by going to

At a recent rave called Cyberfest
in SF, was not a skateboard demo
enacted on site? Some names on the
list would include Mike Carroll,
Danny Sargent, Coco Santiago,
Leon Kole and Rick Ibaseta. The

20,000 all-nite revelers.
The Deluxe team went off to
