Those with a sharp eye will remember Carly “Midget” Richardson featured
in the table of contents photo from Vol. 3 no 5. Carly lives in
Vancouver, British Columbia, a place that has a reputation for being
both a skate mecca and a pretty rainy city. As you can see, Carly isn’t
going to let something like a little bit of rain stand in her way of riding.
