Last week, Camerino tuned-up bikes for the 30th Annual Rosarito Beach-to-Ensenada Fun Ride set for April 18. The event, a notorious madhouse of semi-serious riding and beer drinking along the toll road between the two spring break towns south of the border, was more subdued this year. Normally, 6,000 arrive for the event, but this year crowds were only half that size. Other events, like a professional surfing competition, have been delayed or cancelled altogether due to the violence...

He says that as punishment for a three-meal hunger strike, he was forced to sit in a stress position--cross-legged, with his nose touching a wall...
...enrolled in WWASPS programs. Yet in recent years, most of the schools have come under attack on charges of abuse, including food and sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, alleged beatings and the deaths of at least two children. In September the association's Mexican affiliate Casa by the Sea, near Ensenada, was abruptly shut down after local authorities investigated the school for several cases of suspected abuse, which, WWASPS president Ken Kay said, were proved "unsubstantiated."
