Ripping Recipe
Thrasher,
Is great to see photos of back-
yard sessions. We all know that the
same old keyhole with pads and
helmut gets pretty boring. I thought
you and your readers might
appreciate my recipe for a tasteful
skate session
The spot is definitely the main
ingredient. I chose an abandoned
skatepark in Southwest Oregon
The atmosphere is complete with
miles of fir trees in view and is far
from any inhabitants. The park is
comprised of walls ranging from 3
to 5 feet with poor shape (similar
to my local S SC beach break) and
is determined to grind you first. If
this isn't tasty enough, the park is
supplied with its k
I with its local law enforce
ment which requires some extra
moves
Sweet r
Du snipe this with an
I camera And BB's
skating as a dash of flavor. Be sure
to allow yourself a week's time to
experience the c
e other coastal
activities cooking A local surprise
bash a
and nice surf swells will keep
your trip bolling You top this with a
ittle hairy snack during the drive
home. Who La
Thrasher, who says you can't
have your cake and eat it to?

Paul Hendrix
I really like your second edition. I
hope future issues will show more
of quality Thrasher work. The articles
by Brad Bowman and Duane
Peters w were w well w
written. I think a
pro skater should interview and
another
pro, like Bowman did with Shawn
Peddle. I hope to see more of BB's
work in the future. What I would like
to see in this
his magazine is contribu
tions by skateboarders, pro and
amateur alike.
Also a lot of
sequence photos of double
Jay o
sessions, and of the best like Olson
Smith (both. and Mike). Tony
Hawk, Stelmasky Bros Peters
Bowman, and some hot up and
coming types
I would like to know how would
one go about contributing an
article or photos, any special type
of photographs and so on.
Later.
