Mike, I'm down here in Central Jersey in
Bridgewater (near Somerville). We have a
huge ramp up here. It's 32 feet long.
Groholski and Jeff Jones have already
skated there. So, listen. Next time you're on
this bulletin board, which is probaby now,
write me back and tell me about the skating
around your area of Jousy

Go to your local 7-11 and check out the
latest videogame. It's called 720-The
Ultimate Aerial Experience. No shit!

Well it's nice to see that some people are
still skating. My parents trashed all of my
stuff (skate, albums, etc.) They told me it was
"for my own good." Yeah, well fuck you too.
Then they shipped me off to my grand-
parents farm back east. Oh well, I am back
and it looks like things haven't changed
much. It's nice to tell my troubles to
somebody other than the counselor at
school (what a bitch...)
Since I have no more albums, anyone
want to copy some stuff for me? I am trying
to rebuild a lost collection and all I have is
Suicidal Tendencies (who doesn't? Still
cool.) Sex Pistols: Nvr Mnd the Bollocks,
Pink Floyd: The Wall, Zeppelin, RUSH,
Hendrix, and a DK album I saved from the
jaws of a trash compactor.

I just had a demo in the Chicago area.
Atari built a ramp for a big video game show.
The thing cost over $2,500 to build but Atari
won't ship it since it's too expensive. Send
me a message if you're interested.

About the best ramp in my area is at Roll-
ingwood in Woodbridge, VA, but owned by
a bunch of fags who won't let you skate it.
Cedar Crest is a kick-ass ramp although it
hurts pretty bad when you fall. There are no
cuts, just bruises on a steel ramp.
Trashmore...haven't been there since new
surface, but I hear it sucks. Eddie Reat(???).
however you say it or pronounce it, was
there last time I was and we talked. Cool,
but my place really sucks and I wish I could
move. Well, better go. Kill some poseurs!

When we last left Street Scott, he was
putting the finishing touches on his plan to
ply the center span of the Golden Gate
Bridge, thereby creating the world's largest
half-pipe. Now, we are over at Pete's Bar, a
downtown San Francisco ironworker's
hangout where Street is bracing himself
before dropping 800 bucks on a 12-string.
Ovation guitar. Figuring the Indian-looking
character stooled up next to him for a fellow
ironworker, Street springs for a few pops
while the conversation turns to music. Cut
to Guitar Center at Mission and Van Ness
where Scotty and his newfound friend have
wandered to make the purchase. Instantly
more than a few patrons recognize the
stranger with Scott as Jaco Pastorius, past
bassist for Weather Report and Joni Mit-
chell, to name just a few, and considered
by some to be the best four-string slinger
in the world. Jaco picks up a bass and rips
off a few unbelievable scales while jaws
drop, then saunters out into the night.
LEAH

Street, unfazed, repairs back to his flat with
the new axe and practices "House of the
Rising Sun" for 12 hours straight.
Speaking of career changes, our own bad
Doctor Rick Blackhart has been pit crew-
ing around local Norcal race tracks with
fellow San Josean and skate mate Dave
Thomas' winning Formula V. When his
girlfriend Roxane entered a drawing for a
4-day high performance driving course at
the fabled Bob Bondurant School at Sears
Point raceway, Rick just laughed. To make
a long story short, two months after the
grand prize winner was announced, DRB
was behind the wheel of a tricked-out Ford
Mustang learning the finer points of 4-wheel
drifting at speed and two-wheel-off corner-
ing tactics. Now the Doctor has made if of-
ficial. He is now the legally registered owner
of Thomas' old Formula V racer. Can
THRASHER sponsorship be inevitable? And
this is the guy who once had 17 moving
violations tagged to him and his 650
Kawasaki scoot.
