I was getting to the point where I needed transportation all the time and I didn ' t want to mooch rides off my friends anymore. Vickie Ellison is just one of many teen-agers who turns hobby-vehi- cles into modes of trans- portation. From skate- boarding to biking to mo- peding, students have found getting from one place to another can be fun if using a unique set of wheels. My usual speed is 30 mph, although it really registers 40, said Cleve- land McKinney of his moped. I believe the greatest conveniences are available parking and easy maneuvering. As far as skateboarding »-T and biking are concerned, they are two of the oldest forms of recreation used for transportation, although these days it can be pretty expensive. Ty Thorman said he paid $150 for his skate- board and Martin Cardenas paid $310 for his BMX bike. ,l vJ w U A. : c Vickie Ellison, sophomore, sports her new red and black striped Spree. 26 STUDENT LIFE

We don ' t have any set stunts, we just practice learning tech- niques and develop those into newer and more complicated stunts, said freshman, Ty Thor- man, as he exhibites the perfect form and balance required of an expert skateboarder. Showing off a stunt on his BMX, Martin Cardenas, freshman, ex- plains that learning to do stunts on a bike can be dangerous and taxing. TRANSPORTATION 27
