bumps, cars, walls, signs, people, whatever it takes
is what gets skated everyday. A few people who
live a little ways from most like "Little Kenny,"
Travis Howell, Derrik, Fred Muñoz, Jerry, Joe, Heath
and Potts might be seen in the streets.
Breaking down all barriers to a well-established
city, Houston, Texas, from the past to the present,
has made a huge impact on the skateboard
industry. From Ken Fillion, Kelly Bird, Chris Gentry,
Jeff Taylor, Jon and Mat McGrath, Houston has
dispersed many big name skateboarders. While
"Wild" Will Taylor might be breaking some girl's
arm, shopping at the produce store for cantaloupe,
or spitting on some faces, his skills have still kept a
seat in Houston.
If anyone ever wants a tour of the city, just come
downtown, and any individual mentioned would be
more than happy to show you around. While we are
having fun, skating or just kicking it, this is
Houston, Texas. And if you ever need a place to
stay, there are a lot of hotels in Houston. The time
for the Gulf Coast is now, and may Randy live on.
