WATER AND EGGS
FROM THE WINDOWS

CLISED
I dare you to jump.
Mazatlan is a slow-paced city, and the major-
ity of people have never seen skateboarding
there. Many observers were blown away.
Crowds gathered at every spot we went to in
awe of the skating. It was crazy; we gave a
security guard some stickers and he let us
skate with no problems. At one point, we were
skating to some spot, and I turned around and
counted at least 20 little Mexicans running or
skating behind us. They were so stoked. They
would cheer if someone ollied up a curb. There
are always going to be the older people who
aren't into it, and that's totally understandable.
You know that they don't like you skating in
front of their house when water comes flying
out of the window at you. In one case, there
was an egg present on the scene. that's a sign
to move on. Oh yeah-all of the dogs in
Mexico are on the roofs of the houses.
JOHNNY QUEST
This dude comes up to me and introduces
himself like this: "My name is Johnny....
Johnny Quest." No way. He was from "Cali",
and knew the Shorty's team. I won't even get
into it; lets just say that some people rule. No
clues. No cares. Chaka.

The most frequently seen person at the
hotel door. "Dude, I got this spot..."
Seth McCallum snags one off the ledge.
LOCO EN LA CABEZA
Seven days in Mexico; every one utilized for its 24-hour existence. So
much for a vacation. The word Zorch comes to mind. Just proves that
you should never get your hopes up. No, but really, I had a blast and was
stoked to see that skateboarding lives everywhere. Have skate, will rip.
The terrain in Mazatlan is horrible, but dudes still manage to bust. There
really is no such thing as a vacation with four wheels under your feet.
Muchas gracias to Rada and the bros, Ruben, Hotel Bel Mar Piano,
the ocean, and Leticia at Consolidated. Adios.
