Spots: Arena Harrow, Crystal Palace, Farnborough, Cito ramp USA. Stevenage, Kelvingrove skatepark in Scotland, New Zealand, Kidderminster and Andover skateparks, Townhouse ditch, Hell Hole U.S.A.

Honorable Mentions: Farnborough contest ranks are 1st – Danny Webster, 2nd – Sean Goff, 3rd – Barry Abrook, 4th – Phil Bourgoyne, 5th – Steve Douglas. Sean Goff skated in Pajamas. Douglas didn’t want to feature a ton of U.S. spots because you can get that in Transworld or Thrasher. Center fold page is upsied down on this copy, I righted it in the online version. Gutterslut… Gregor Rankine on going to the US and learning the word “stale”, Brian Shaw is a thief. Ad for Rough Trade records.

Local Slang: Grems, Puffs, all of it really. I could barely understand Gregor Rankine’s interview.
