CONTEST UPDATE - Elemental Awareness rocked out the fourth stop of the Fleur De Lis Contest Series this weekend in the small Central Valley town of Delano, California.

The local kids ripped the place up, despite the downpours of rain that made the coping and bowl corners slippery as heck. The community support was excellent, with even the mayor himself in attendance cheering the kids on as they skated. This contest was made possible by Element Skateboards, The Southern Sierra Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and Shark Energy Drink. The next stop in the Contest Series will be in Bakersfield, California on April 8th. PIG NEWS - Pig Wheels welcomes Patrick Melcher to its ever-progressing Pro Team. 25TH MONSTER MASTERSHIP - A Quarter of a Century of Mastership - Preparations for the anniversary are already going ahead at full steam - June 30- July 2, 2006 - In July 2006, the most important contest in the skateboard scene will be celebrating its 25th anniversary The two-day Monster Rock Festival will mark the occasion. 25th Monster Mastership: World Skateboarding Championships - It is just 4 months since the 24th Mastership in Munster. More than 20,000 visitors applauded the World Champion in Street Style, Daniel Vieira, and held their breath as Sandro Dias rocked the Pipe with a perfect 900 in the Vertfinal. To mark the occasion, the skateboard community celebrated along with lovers of funky guitar-chords to the tunes of Mando Diao, Pennywise and Turbonegro at the Monster Rock Festival. Since September, the organiser of the event, titus communications GmbH, has been pushing ahead at full steam with plans and preparations for the forthcoming 25th anniversary of the Mastership. The next Mastership will be held in the Munsterland Arena from June, 30th until July, 2nd 2006: a completely new street course and half pipe, will attract riders from all over the world and skateboard fans to Munster. Then, the University town will once again be firmly under the control of the international skateboarding elite, who will determine their official World Champion in the “Street” and “Half-pipe” competitions. The highly personal atmosphere of the event promises the public close-up contact to their heroes. Given its history, the wealth of innovation (such as the legends contest and Europe’s first looping) and, finally, the level of the prize money, the Mastership has, over the years, succeeded in establishing itself in the face of competition from other skateboard contests. In addition, it is one of three official World Cups on this continent. This fact and initial discussions with USprofessional riders associations, will also guarantee a high-calibre field of participants. The Mastership is now in the position of being able to welcome the third generation of skateboard professionals. Riders who, in the 1980s, themselves hurtled daringly into the pipe, are today team managers and company bosses, and now send their own riders onto the course. The whole thing started 25 years ago in a company car park in Munster: at the time, skateboarding was completely new in Germany and a mere 20 spectators were able to generate enthusiasm for the first World Skateboard Championships. A quarter of a century later, the Monster Mastership is an established feature in the tightly-packed event calendar of professional skateboarding, and will once again fully live up to its cult status within the community. www.wcsk8.com

CBGB To Close On Halloween 2006 - The New York Daily News is reporting that after a long and nasty rent fight, the owner of the legendary rock club CBGB agreed yesterday to move out of its grungy East Village site next year. "I guess money talks. That's the name of the game," said Hilly Kristal, who opened the dank punk mecca in 1973. "We tried our best." CBGB, which gave bands like the RAMONES and TALKING HEADS a start, will leave its home on the Bowery next Halloween. Kristal is hoping to move the club to a new spot on the lower East Side and has looked at several spaces. But he also is considering opening a namesake joint in Las Vegas and is negotiating with deep-pocketed partners. "I'm trying to stay in New York, but New York is expensive," Kristal said. The Bowery Residents' Committee, a nonprofit homeless-support group, owns the building housing CBGB and has long maintained that Kristal was paying far too little rent. "[We] can now concentrate on helping the needy and homeless of New York City" said Executive Director Muzzy Rosenblatt.

SAVE TRESTLES - If Surfers Do Not Save Trestles, Who Will? The water quality, sandbar sedimentation, and glorious sense of place of Trestles are threatened by an ill-planned toll road highway that would parallel (not just cross) the largely pristine San Mateo Creek that empties into the great Trestles breaks. It's very important to keep the proposed toll road highway out of San Onofre State Beach and away from the San Mateo Creek. For more info on saving Trestles from the tollroad, see Surfrider's Save Trestles web section at http://www.surfrider.org/savetrestles.

WHERE: San Clemente Community Center, San Clemente, CA. WHO: California Representative Calvert will be speaking at the San Clemente Community Center to discuss Medicare Part D. Activists from the Surfrider Foundation will be on hand to publicly protest Representative Calvert's ongoing support for the Transportation Corridor Agency's planned extension to the 241 Foothill-South toll road. Despite compelling evidence that the project will not only devastate portions of the San Onofre State Beach Park, harm eleven threatened or endangered species, degrade the surfing resources at Trestles, and also likely fail at its stated objective of reducing traffic congestion through South Orange County, Representative Calvert continues to advocate for the project.
