STILL WORKIN' ON IT......
There will be a delay of a few months
until you will have some coverage of
a new field of skateboarding that I am
working on. This is because there are
invariably physical and even
psychological barriers that have to be
slowly but surely taken away when it
comes to introducing something
never done before. I am not working
on "new moves". I am working on a
totally radical new field of skating
that totally fits the style of your mag.
Keep up the greatest work.
Radically,
Scott Edwards
Out There, U.S.
We give up Scott, what is this new
and radical field you speak of. We
can't wait, send photos.
NOTHING BUT...

I think you're mag is hottest and
I'm glad skateboarders finally have
our own mag to read. Although the
photos are black and white, it's a lot
hotter than "other mags". By the way,
how about some skateboard trading
cards like some other sports have.
Don't stop printing the great mag and
don't put anything in but
SKATEBOARDS okay, Good Luck.
P.S. How about a Thrasher calender?

GENTLELEMEN:
Your magazine is hot! A couple of
friends and myself have a 16 foot
wide halfpipe that we built
together-It is hot!
Thanks for the tips on ramp
building. Our ramp was completed
with Thrasher's help and it came out
great. There were some kids who
came from other towns and they said
it was a waste of money. We all enjoy
the ramp every day thanks to your
help.
Keep up the great work.

P.S. Easterners Rip Too!
UNEQUALLED COVERAGE
Your mag is great! The East Coast
coverage you do is unequalled by all.
Show more community skateparks
and local skate scenes like Berkeley,
that was great seeing the everyday
skate experience again. Me and the
Kingsport boys are ripping our
pipe and the pipe we recently found.
Why not have an article on Skatepark
Marina del Rey since it about the big-
gest, best park since the death of
Cherry Hill (keep ripping up there.
anyway). I've said enough, see y'all
around!
Keep Shredding,

P.S. Getaway is a rad park.
You're right Keith, Getaway is a rad
park. On a sadder note, Marina del Rey
has been closed and dozed.
OH! O.K....

Hey! You think you're tough? Ha!
We in Oak Ridge are just too rowdy.
Why, who else do you know who can
get arrested for mall terrorizing? Or
get kicked out of a National Park for
doing 50 MPH standup downhill and
wiping out. Of course I would have
made it if Barney han't parked right in
my lane. But thats not even fast, ac-
cording to ours cars speedometer we
did a 60 laydown. We could go faster
but our equipment is slowing us
down. That's not all, we've got two
excellent half-pipes and a keyhole.
We've also got two mediocre parks
(closed). So if any of you high
powered companies would like to
sponsor us we would appreciate it
because our boards are being held for

evidence.
You guys are pretty harsh.
WORTH READING
<-ED-
I would like to say that your mag is
the only skate mag worth reading and
looking at. I live in San Mateo and the
skate scene is doing pretty well. We
got a hot spillway that is about 80
yards long with 20 feet of flat bottom
and it goes down hill. We got a blo
halfpipe, 8' flat bottom, 12" wide, 10'
high, 1% feet of vertical. We got
about 3 or 4 ramps we shred daily.
Keep up the good work.
P.S. How about an interview with
T.S.O.L.

I believe that ditch has 40 feet of flat
