82 THRASHER
Chandler Vital Stats
Square Feet: Lots
Surface: Super-smooth 'crete
Coping: Excellent
Obstacles: Box, twinkie, quarter-
pipes and banks, rails, bars, and
ledges, small bowled sections,
hips, bank to wall, and a volcano
that all flow together, plus a 6-7-
foot bowl, and a 8-9-foot bowl.
Out-Of-The-Woodwork-Old-
Schoolers Potential: 7 out of 10.
Girls: A selection of spectator
sorts, but many are there to ride.
Actually Spotted at the Park: A
newer set-up with rails, a nose
bone, and a homemade metal
skidplate, sported by a bleached
blond WWF-looking warrior.
Grrr!
Mullet Factor: Potentially lethal
151 Sightings: 6 out of a
possible 10.
Pads, Pay, Park Pigs or Pigeon
Shit?: Nope
Letdowns: Rollerturds (though
vastly outnumbered, hopefully
for good).
Overall: 8.5 out of 10
Above: Even on a
park rail, it takes a lot
of nerve to commit to a
crooked grind or a back-
side lipside. Jerry Hsu's
got balls enough for both
of 'em at once.
Left: Chandler's street-
course layout is eerily
similar to Ocean Beach's,
minus the swarms of salt-
water-on-the-brain beach
freaks leering behind the
fence.
