Highlights: A review of Indy stage IV (or Thundies) and a center spread advert for old stage II's. Apparently Pad Rot was a spinoff from the zine Endless Grind over "editorial differences." Who knew that zines were that intense? Elgin (most likely) full pipe update, burried becasue of two deaths! Half page Hate Page, obviously an idea borrowed from Skate and Annoy at the time, as we always had a Hate Page, and even had guest Hate Pages. Backside air trick tips that end with "The only reason why you shouldn't be able to do this trick with some practice is if your [sic] lame or if you got no BALLS." Tory Boettcher profiled as the best skater in Illinois. Life Sentence advert,
