LEXATAR'S LI
THE
A FAREWELL TO KNEES
I would just like to say that the
new "cool" image of skating just
makes me sick. Yes, I guess I am
"Tame." Whatever happened to under-
ground skating? Whatever happened
to skating being the only thing that
mattered? I believe skateboarding to
be an activity for nerds and non-jock
types. There was a time when there
was no pressure to be cool.
Will there ever be any pictures of
kneepad bearing street skaters? Or
don't they use kneepads anymore?
Many used to. I wonder why they
don't anymore? I hear they score
more points in contests if they don't
wear pads. I don't think there's any
truth to this, but we can go ahead
and check one for skating manliness
anyway. I'd rather wear kneepads,
save my knees and be a so-called
"wuss" than wear none and bleed ike
one. Oh well, to each their own, I just
thought I would try to open some
eyes to skating contradicting itself.

SUE-ICIDE
There is only one ramp in our area
and it can no longer be skated be-
cause a certain type of scum that
lingers in our society broke his hand
and decided to sue the ramp owner.
The ramp owner's insurance was can-
celed, which ended our skating the
structure. Why do people do things
like this? If people spend all this mon-
ey on a ramp and are kind enough
to let people skate on it and blast and
have a good time, only a pig would
ruin it for all through his own selfish-
ness. A real skater would never do a
thing like this for he would realize the
effects. So be careful of ramp riding.

SCOUT DOUBTS
Traven
Is it true you have to be a Boy Scout
to skate Del Mar? Is this some sort
of B.S.? I think so, but am not sure.
What's the story? I know for the pro's
this has to be bullshit, cause I doubt

It's the Scout's insurance policy that
gives skaters the assurance of con-
tinued skating at the Ranch. One
thing we want to know, though, is
what does it take to fulfill the quali
fications for a skate merit badge? Ted

OK, what's the deal. In the June
THRASHER I saw some really shitty
attitudes. One is in the letter called
"Check Us Out, Eh" and another is a
quote from Jesse Martinez (page 55).
Doesn't anyone want to have fun any
more? The "skate world" has become
too competitive. People are skating
for attention instead of for the pure
enjoyment of the sport. It's gone so
far that some people won't skate with-
out an audience. If that's not posing.

CORRECT.
A while back-a year or two. I sup-
pose-I bought a basic Alva deck
with copy trucks and assorted gar
bage attached. I was inspired to
skate. By what, I don't exactly remem-
ber. It might have been the rush I got
from pushing my friend's stick around
the parking lot when he came over.
"Wow" I thought, and my new aware-
ness began.
I refuse to jump onto a sinking ship
full of people yelling, "Yeah! We're
going down again! Fuck you all!"
You're making skating out to be manic
depressive, bent on self-destruction...
suicide. Mulling it over-and over,
and over-isn't going to stop the
death from happening, neither will ig-
noring it, but I think your underlying
sarcasm is fairly depressing. I'm into
reality too, but Christ man, if we
worked half as hard at pushing the
"adrenaline-rush, fun, live-to-skate
reality," as we did the "let the bitch
die attitude... who knows.
My friend and I were skating on a
couple of three-foot high brick walls
in front the sub shop one night,
when we were approached by a cou-
ple of "poseur types" who mostly
watched and asked an occasional
question. "You guys know who Billy-
Bob is? He's pretty good. He can
jump on his board like this." And one
of them proceeded to demonstrate
by falling on his ass.
"You mean like this?" I said and
pulled off your basic boneless. "Yeah!"
he replied and walked over closer. In
no time he was intensely studying our
moves and asking more questions,
"Man, I just can't get my skateboard
to stay under my feet like that. Did
you use your left hand?"
"Yeah, check this out. Grab like this
The sub shop had closed hours
before. Dew was collecting on the
ground and we were getting tired. It
was about 1 a.m. when the black and
white pulled up and told us to head
home. In the duration of a two or three
hour period, this kid had learned how
to stay on his skate and tear a few
cool street moves. He was as soaked
from sweat as we were and stoked
about it. He was hooked. We said our
laters and took off in different direc-
tions. We never even exchanged
names. We didn't need to. A trendy-
poeseur converted?
Granted, skating can't take on a
shitload of hardcore skaters" and re-
main the same, but hey, the guys who
aren't really into it will tire and take
off soon enough on their own.
You guys put out a mag that, in my
eyes, is a great motivator for aware-
ness. But hold the pessimism down,
alright? Skate and create. Correct?
