Steve Douglas kept the news flowing from America, including the latest gossip, tricks, team changes and equipment.<\/p>\n

First off I’d like to thank Bod for his guest appearance on my page last month. <\/strong><\/p>\n

NEWS IN BRIEF <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Payne <\/strong>has been busy again, he just got back from Hamburg, West Germany where he built a 6.5′ high bowl connecting via a spine to a mini and a big ramp. Apparently there’s no charge to get in. Also Tim just flew out to Cal to build an outdoor park: bowl, mini, vert etc. It should be finished soon. <\/p>\n

The YMCA Skate Camp <\/strong> is going to happen again this year. Dates are 13th July to August 22nd — a total of five sessions. The camp is up in Sequoia National Park, a totally beautiful place near Fresno, about half way between SF and LA and slightly east. Great ramps… if you plan to go to the States this year I would think about a week there. It’s well worth it. <\/p>\n

Gator’s <\/strong> now on G & S! Vision <\/strong>now making Bunjie Clothing Wear! Josh Windle <\/strong>off Vision… John Schultes <\/strong>now on Poor House… LSD <\/strong>to hook up with BBC??? Christian Hosoi’s SK8 Culture <\/strong>boards out now… Rick Ibaseta <\/strong>and Neil Hendrix <\/strong> boards on New Deal soon… <\/p>\n

Eastern Vert <\/strong> in North Carolina are going to build a wooden vert bowl and a full-on street course, all indoors. Their facility will be twice what it is now. <\/p>\n

Congratulations to Tony Hawk, <\/strong>who <\/strong>got married the day after the Vision Vert comp. Other weddings on the way: Steve Keenan <\/strong>(May), Ed Templeton <\/strong>(November) and, I think, Jason Lee. <\/strong><\/p>\n

MEXICAN COMP <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last weekend there was meant to be a contest at Rosanita Beach in Mexico — on the beach at a Surf and Reggae Festival. The day it was meant to start, it was cancelled. All the skaters were already there, so it was moved to the Vision warehouse ramp. But that was being pulled down… so they had to rebuild it for the contest. Talk about sketchy. Apparently it was still a rad contest and the top ten all ripped and did really long rides. Here’s the results: 1st, Steve Caballero; 2nd, Omar Hassan; 3rd, Tony Hawk; 4th, Chris Gentry; 5th, Mike Crum; 6th Dave LeReoux; 7th, Buck Smith; 8th, Christian Hosoi; 9th, Chris Livingston; 10th, Lance Mountain. <\/p>\n
