FRANK BACKLASH
Hey, Mr. Hawk! We could not let
your brief but informative interview in
the September issue slip our atten-
tion. I hope in reading this you can
start to get a grip as well as a realiza-
tion as to what real skating is all
about. First off, we could not believe
you conducted this interview five
minutes before the start of a contest.
Don't you think as organizer of the
event you should have been doing
your job instead of trying to come to
terms with us (via the media) with
defensive answers to very important
questions? We also don't believe
your "getting hooked on the sport"
as a promoter is of any interest to the
hardcore skater or the pro. Do you
really believe that if you stop putting
on these sideshow events you call
contests, that skateboarding will die?
Do you even realize that we, "the
underground skate movement cult."
kept the sport alive throughout its
decline periods from '69-74 and
again in '79? Our mouths dropped in
shock when we read about your "lit-
tle league organization concept."
What do you think this is, some kind
of a team sport? Have you ever con-
sidered input from the competitors?
Don't you think they have minds of
their own? Do you realize that some
of the pros are adults with children of
their own now? Don't you know that
communication is everything? And
unless you start listening to skaters
about better contest formats and
other creative ways to show our art.
that you, Frank Hawk, could be held
partly responsible for the beginning
of the end?
Then you had the audacity to sug-
gest that you and the NSA were in no
way responsible for the security pro-
blems outside of the last Del Mar con-
test. Don't you think as head of the
NSA and organizer of the event that
you should have thought about this
situation in advance? Let us put it in
little league terms. If Reggie Jackson,
Babe Ruth or Henry Aaron were stan
ding outside the little league world
championships, do you think the of-
ficials would ignore their presence?
Hell no! Babe would throw the first
ball and Henry and Reggie would be
the umps. In our opinion you are a
maniac. You're lucky they didn't duke
your mug, and start a riot. You should
be thankful that people like Tony
Alva, Stacy Peralta, Jim Muir, Jay
Adams, and Steve Olson are still
around to show beginners that a sim-
ple stylish carve is the very essence
of skating. Do you even acknowledge
the fact that if we old skaters didn't
sacrifice our lives, limbs and college
educations to invent moves like the
frontside grind, the backside
quarteredger, the rock and roll and
the back and frontside air, that many i
skaters would not be doing 720" airs
today? This is fact. Modern moves
are based on basic moves. Do you
even know skate history? Have you
ever heard of Danny Bearer, Woody
Woodward, Torger Johnson, Dave
and Steve Hilfton, Joey Cabel or
Steven Piccolo? These are some of
the founding fathers of bank-
ed/vertical-style skaters who in the
late '50s and early '60s developed
the art of pool riding and paved the
way for the skate stars of the '70s to
further the art, the style and the very
existence of skating. Why do you
think streetstyle is so big now? It's
because kids realize that if they start
skating on the street and go back to
the actual roots of the sport, they can
do anything-no rules, no regula-
tions, just hard shredding fun. We
suggest to you, Mr. Hawk, that the
next time you throw a contest that you
show some respect for the "older
skaters of the sport" by reserving
them a seat, frontrow, with the name
"Judge" on the back. Don't you think
they are the only people qualified to
judge who is ripping the most that
day? Think about it.
The Underground Skate
Movement Cult (U.S.M.C)
(We have a few good men.)
MORE TO THE POINT
In your Sept. ish Mr. Hawk said he
didn't think there should be
streetstyle contests at all. He also
thinks people streetskate because
there is a demand for it. I think he
should go to hell.
SHORTED DOGS
Street Skater
Richmond, VA
I am writing in regard to your
Oct/Nov. '86 issue. On page 91 you
printed a picture of my band-Short
Dogs Grow-and printed beneath it
that we were the Descendents. We
would appreciate it if you could cor-
rect this error. Also, the blurb you
wrote about the Descendents was in-
correct. They aren't sporting a new
female bassist (I'm still in the Dogs)..
and it was our former singer Marc
who split his head open and had to
be taken to the hospital. The line-up
in the picture is Joe-drums,
Carmela-bass, Tom-guitar and
Marc-vocals. Our present line-up
has changed, Tom is singing and
playing guitar and Greg Kim is play-
ing guitar
Carmela/Short Dogs
S.F., CA
You're certainly right Carmela. We
must have gotten that info from a
friend of a friend's sister's boyfriend's
brother...Tom's (your guitarist)
Descendents t-shirt must have con-
fused things a bit. Sorry for the
mis-cue. Ted.
