This issue has some fine coverage of the Kansas AFA State Championship Freestyle comp in Wichita, a Woodward vacation story, and a Plywood Hoods sighting while Brett was at Woodward.
Notes: The photo of Kansas City local Ben Mahoney from the AFA series brought me back a bit. I remember seeing Ben ride a number of times, I just don't remember where and when. It was 30 years ago, but I remember the face...

Brett Foster put Warp out from the capital city of Missouri – Jefferson City. There wasn't a lot of bmx freestyle news coming out of the midwest, but Brett was on top of it, especially new tricks. This issue has write-ups of summer tours by Mongoose and Haro, and the AFA Masters Finals in Wichita, Kansas that Eric and I also attended. Excellent representation of bmx freestyle in the midwest at the time.
Notes: Brett and I met once at an amateur contest in Kansas City. He rode flatland and did very well if I recall correctly. I have negatives from that contest somewhere, and I think there's a few shots of Leo "Animal" Chen riding the quarter pipes, and I think Dennis McCoy was there for a bit. The last page of this issue has a pair of MMTB stickers on display, among others.
