1998 ITF West Coast and USA Finals
From the Martini Lounge to the Bay
07.31.98 - 08.09.98


1998 was the second year for our shot at the ITF. The West Coast eliminations were held in Los Angeles at the Martini Lounge, with Streak, Relm, and Deus participating.

Both Relm and Deus made the final 8 and Deus made it to the final 4. Unfortunately, the battle did not finish since the club decided to close down early. This was most upsetting, but at least Sta had the chance to represent in the US Finals...

...which came only a week later in San Francisco. Although Deus was eliminated early on after some needle problems, at least we can say that he's in the video.

If you check the very first photo, you'll see a rare Sta moment with almost the whole crew in the picture, minus Swift Rock (someone's always missing, and it's either Swift Rock or Doc Rice) along with our temporary manager at the time, Phil, a.k.a. Chicken Skratch.
