ALL HANDS ON DECKS
In reference to Mr. Frank Hawk's
efforts to-in his own words-
establish a "little league" type of
organization out of skateboarding: As
a child who participated in various
sports, I discovered it's just crass
commercialism, an ego boost for
parents and coaches and a revenue-
raising system that cheats the kids
who participate. Skating is a godsend
in that it is a sport for kids-minus
the adult hassle. We've seen skating
reach a high point before, due to help
from the adult sector, only to watch
it crumble while the same "captains
of the industry" fled like rats from a
sinking ship, leaving the kids to
rebuild. And rebuild they did. They
took to ramps and streets, organiz-
ed their own contests and had fun
without, the egos, rules and
"authorities" tolling them how. All
who wanted to skate did and had fun,
and all that fun potential is now be-
ing harnessed into a cash-raising
scam, membership fees, full equip
ment purchase, dues, etc. It can
degenerate to a point where, like in
little league, being "the best" is
what's important and it's only fun it
you are winning. If I had any power
(like you may have?) I would do all
that's possible to keep skating out of
the adult's hands and leave it to the
skaters (where it belongs). All I can
do is write letters and teach the
younguns. The only dues should be
the flesh you occasionally leave on
the cement.

WHEN THE WHIP CAME DOWN
About a month ago my skate met
the harsh blows of an ax from my
parents when I wasn't even there.
This happened because I did some
uncool shit and got busted bad. The
fun didn't stop there. I can never
skate again. I've fought it all I can.
Anyway keep your rowdy mag up:
just because I can't skate doesn't
mean I'll stop seeing and reading
about it. Besides, there's always
Puszone and Skarfing Material.
Broken Hearted
Shitzville, OR
PS. Let's all work together to stop the
spread of country music.
KEEPING SCORE ON
HARDCORE
Hardcore music doesn't have
much to do with skating. The worst
is seeing a little kid buy a new board
one week and the next week seeing
that same kid with a mohawk and rip-
ped jeans, etc. This sincerely
disgusts me. These kids are lead to
believe that part of skateboarding is
being hardcore. I think a lot of this
belief is derived from your magazine
I also think you should review more
than just hardcore. In a couple of re-
cent issues I was happy to see
reviews of the "Beastie Boyz" and
"Run D.M.C" Maybe sooner or later
there could be a rap section. Both
types of music are aggressive and
they each have their own individual
qualities. This is not a one-sided
opinion; I once was into hardcore
also, brainwashed into believing I
was a "poseur" unless I jumped in-
to the hardcore scene. Anyway, the
real hardcore people don't want
"young skateboarders" with their
hair shaved an inch above their ears
running around at shows. It pisses
them off. They're being liquidated by
so-called hardcore skaters. This let
ter is not meant to put down hardcore
music or skaters, but to benefit all,
hardcore or not. So all you homeboy
skaters out there, get busy!

THANKSTIME
I am speaking on behalf of all the
Dallas local skaters in appreciation
of Melvin at Skatetime skate shop
Thanks to him and his friends wel
have an excellent ramp to skate and
two well-stocked skate shops. He has
done a lot to promote the sport by
having local amateur contests and
keeping the place to skate (Blue
Ramp) open 24 hours.
COUPLA CUT-UPS
John Lytle
Dallas, TX
To all skate types living away from
home-make the most of your
THRASHER. We are two skaters (aka
ski racers) who live in a shack, literal
ly. There is only one straight wall in
the whole house. In one bedroom the
floor is so warped it can be skated like
a half. We have cut pictures from 71
different issues. Our room finally
looks like something, but we are not
sure what. So whatever the case may
be: living away from home, an ultra
lame room, or both, cut up your
THRASHER and you can turn your
room into a home. Thanks for the
mag. Never give up skating, even if
it's on dirt roads, snow, etc.

PS. A new sport will emerge over the
winter, mogul skating. One problem:
wheels freeze real easy.
Like we always say "A well thrashed
THRASHER is a well read
