ON THE COVER

MATT RAULERSON

By Mike Ennen I never thought I would get along with a Abercrombie & Fitch model, but Matt Raulerson is one of the funniest people I know. If you didn’t know, now you know… Matt is an official Abercrombie model, seriously! The girls know the guy by his boyish good looks on the side of their shopping bag. Yep, that’s CWB’s rail rider Matt Raulerson. Matt has become another reason I enjoy spending time at Hotel Henny. His daily drop-bys at the hotel for a rail set often turns into hours of bull shitting and sometimes a safe ride back from downtown. Raulerson is another ‘next generation’ rail rider coming out of The Projects. It seems that every kid who steps onto The Projects property immediately turns into a rail ripper. One of my favorite

mad or lose his temper. If you show up to OWC and you catch him riding, he’s shredding and goofing off at the same time. Matt is the kind of rider I like to surround myself with, his riding and his
