Zine thing.
Mar 01, 2003 ... Traveln Man #2 Awright! Another installment of Traveln Man! This one comes wrapped in a hand-screened cover, cut out from a 12-pack, so I guess you know the fuel behind the fire. It's got some great stuff, an article on visits to FDR, Bainbridge Island, Reno, and Oregon, plus ...
Tony Trujillo is the Skater of the Year 2002!!! From the drunk tank (2001) to the stage. (Thrasher Magazine Presents).
Mar 01, 2003; Byrnes, Lindsey ... The 13th Annual Skater of the Year Party. Fuck Yeah! The evening started out with AC/DShe, an all girl AC/DC cover band. Only after they left the stage were the boys able to control their drooling and panting. These girls are HOT! When Bottom started rocking, the heavy-metal all girl trio ...
Of a "bad S.O.T.Y. date". (Anatomy).
Mar 01, 2003 ... Anna and Arjie of New York City won two free tickets to the Skater of the Year party. Our web monkeys thought it would be fun to arrange dates to accompany them.

The trail never goes cold.
Mar 01, 2003; Alba, Steve ... THEY SAY YOU SHOULDN'T go to the mountains on opening day of hunting season. You might get mistaken for an elk. Most of the people you see up at 6,000-feet plus elevation wear cammo gear with bright orange vests and hats--we had shorts and sweatshirts. They also say you shouldn't go to the ...
Andrew Pommier. (Canvas).
Mar 01, 2003; Pommier, Scott ... MY BROTHER IS three years older than I am. Naturally I copied everything he did. Lucky for me his passions were for drawing and skateboarding. I suppose I could have very easily followed him into a world of bodybuilding and steroid abuse or waterskiing and reggae. It's a frightening ...
The return of Quetzalcoatl.
Mar 01, 2003; Beardo, El ... THE CONQUEST OF THE VALLEY OF MEXICO is a crazy mix of history and myths intertwined with each other.

Mar 01, 2003; Burnett, Michael ... "IT'S NOT HARD TO OPEN A CAN!" Are New Zealanders descendants of convicts like Australians? No, but was born on Norfolk Island which is off the coast of Australia, and that was like a type of Alcatraz where all the super gnarly convicts got sent from England. ...
Brian Howard. (Heads_Howard).
Mar 01, 2003; Burnett, Michael ... "I WON'T EAT BEANS!" Of all your disembowlments, which was the most unpleasant? Probably the most unpleasant was when I wrecked on the BMX bike and fucked up my liver. I was riding these dirt jumps at Woodward, 'cause I kind of like bikes and I thought I could do it ....
Gailea Momolu. (Heads_Momolu).
Mar 01, 2003; Pommier, Scott ... "STAIRS DON'T MATTER" How do you feel about the new additions to the Darkstar squad? I'm stoked on the new additions, the team is definitely complete. What will it take to stand out in the crowd in 2003? I'm going to do what I usually do: skate ...
It's a long way to the flat if you hang a rock 'n' roll.
Mar 01, 2003; Phelps, Jake ... AS MY BODY CRUMBLES TO ASH I still don't have the gear shift down. First I'm grinding the tranny. I push too hard. In the last month I've heard quotes like: "You're still alive? Still trying to be a teenager?" Man, my shit is flat. Broken glasses, lumped-up face, broken bones--yeah. I've ...
Australia vacation.

Trip.
Mar 01, 2003; Knutson, Jeffrey ... A Greyhound leaves my town bound for Wherever, USA four times a day. I had to get to San Francisco: 26 hours, two layovers-Salt Lake and Sacramento-and one bus change in Laramie from point A. There were a few chartered bus rides under my belt-mostly high school field trips or other such ...
The Catheters.
Mar 01, 2003; Lundry, Wez ... THESE GUYS ARE a full-steam rock outfit hailing from the Seattle, WA area. Although their name is something that might make you wince, especially if you've had surgery where morphine was used and you couldn't piss on your own afterward, they can blast the rock music with the best of them ....
Slum village.
Mar 01, 2003; X, Aki ... I BOUNCED OUT OF ALI'S SKATEBOARD STORE ON MELROSE--running late and I had to get over to Capitol Records on Hollywood to meet Angel Biotek and SV. I'm skating like a mofo down Vine, it's 90 degrees and the Moroccan hashish I smoked earlier was kicking in. The celly vibrates, it's ...
"My zipper's always broken". (Bad Wizard).
Mar 01, 2003; Coyle, Michael ... LOUD, PROUD, AND ALCOHOL-FUELED, New York City's Bad Wizard does the hard rock thing the way it used to be done--before clownish rappers became frontmen, second-class DJs added noises, and bland self-conscious moanings better suited for a therapist's couch became acceptable as lyrics. Who ...
Beenie Man.
Mar 01, 2003; Kelsch, Martine ... MOSES DAVIS, AKA BEENIE MAN, has been doing this dancehall thing far a long time. At the age of eight he won his first talent show with his rhyming skills.

Notes from the underground.
Mar 01, 2003; Lundry, Wez ... ANDREW WILLIAMS IS THE KIND OF GUY who shouldn't need an introduction, but since this is a far from perfect world, let me say a few words about the man. He started his singing career in the early-'50s in Detroit, taking first prize at a local talent show, and went on to record some of the ...
