78 THRASHER
WE TOOK THE BOAT OVER
to Montevideo, Uruguay,
which turned out to be the
nicest part of the trip. There was a
beautiful pit on the beach that kind of
smelled like toxic waste, but hey, it's
South America, what are you sup-
posed to do? It was a nice park-
well designed, with a fun box that
was kind of small, but we hit it for
two days. There was still the war
criminal vibe everywhere; it
seemed like there was always some
guy staring me down, like, "Do you
know?" Yeah, I think I do. We did
all the Montevideo shit and then
we were gone.

Clockwise from top left: A view
to a kill in Montevideo as John Cardiel
stands up on a tough 5-0. Vert tricks
are getting harder every day; when
Lincoln Ueda steps up, do the math:
frontside stale gay twist, baby. It started
off with Red's cover, and the Rambo
pants skatepark commandos proliferated
from there: Fernando Acuña nollie flips
the Montevideo tomato.
