Anthony - Then newest member to our team. We have been wanting to ask him to the team for a while but finally did.

Yellow Rail - The yellow rail by the factories near whatever sports is now grindable. A fellow skater has taken the caps off and grinded the shit out of it. You can go there at any time, but be careful and don't get caught or else they will start giving out tickets and put the caps right back on.

Drop in - Drop in skatepark will be closed summer of 2002 (the summer coming up) they will be remodling it and making new ramp/rail plans for all the rollerbladers and boarders out there. We would just like to tell you so you don't end up going and then find out there closed, but they should open back up by the end of the summer.

Plainfield Park - They are making a skatepark in Plainfield. It is most likely gonna be an outdoor park and it should open up in June. They are working hard on it and when it opens you should go and visit it should be awesome as hell.

IMYTA - Thanks to are fellow skater Tony Galan there will be an IMYTA in Lockport Saturday April 13, Josh Welsh will be helping him with the contest. If you would like to join it cost $2.50 each person anyone can join and any age can join. We will be skating at the Skatepark in Dellwood, then we will be moving to TAFT to skate the ledges and then to the highschool for some rails so we will have a little of everything. We will have 5 min warm-ups. We will tell you how the contest is working or else you can talk to Tone about it ahead of time. The main thing is that we play a game of IMYTA at the park and there are 2 winners and then we play a game at Taft and there are 2 winners. The final four winners go to the highschool for a best trick competition. The winner takes all the money that everyone played to get in. Good Luck. The top 3 winners will be posted after the contest is done.

1st - Josh Welsh
2nd - Tone Galan
3rd - Steve Guilbo and Jay Welsh (tied)
