________________________________

FEBRUARY/MARCH 1976

There was no publication made during these two months. Peggy Turner and I did the January issue as “Skateboard Racing News”. She only wanted to do one issue for fun. I was having too much fun and didn’t want to stop. It took me 2 months to learn how to make a newspaper by myself. I changed the name to “National Skateboard Review” and went out on my own.
