ANOTHER MIRACLE
A couple of weeks ago my parents
picked me up from school and told
me my room had gone up in flames.
Naturally I freaked! Looking at the
burnt remains of my room I saw my
burnt pads, melted helmet, thrashed
skatebag and other ruined neces-
sities of life. Then I noticed some-
thing totally incredible. On the only
unburnt shelf of my room sat my
stack of Thrashers. Sure they were
kinda brownish and they smelled like
shit, but they were still there. Now
they're sitting on a shelf in my new
room in our temporary rented house.
Just thought you'd like to know what
your mag goes through.

I'S DOTTED WITH HEARTS
Like, ya know, I like your mag, like
tons, dudes! My big brother Biff
brings it home and I read it and it's
just like totally tubular. But, like, ya
know, all the dudes pictured are all,
like soooo cute. But like I have this
one thing that's like totally, like, con-
stantly on my mind, like even when
I'm baking muffins or on the phone
and like even, would you believe,
when I'm doing my hair! Like this is
the question: Why is all the stuff in
your mag on skateboarding and punk
rock? There are never any, like, hair
tips or, like, make-up pointers and,
like, never ever any articles on groups
like Bon Jovi or David Lee Roth (my
faves!), I'd also like to see a center-
fold hang-up poster of, like, Natas or
the Gonz or Christ with vital stats and
an autograph and like maybe.
possibly recollections of, like, their
first dates.
BOMBS AWAY
Buffy Bermuda

I just want to say that I think
bombin' hills is hell more fun than
freestylin. So to all the bro's on
boards in San Francisco and
anywhere where they got some
major hills who think freestylin' is god
and haven't tried some serious hill
bombin', give it a try. I bet you'll love
it and be bombin' hills all the time.
I found that some of the best places
for bombin' hills in San Francisco are
around Nob Hill and Russian Hill. So
if you're ever around either of those
places on a bus headin' for your fave
freestyle hangout, get off the bus.
point your board down a convenient
hill, push off and go.

STICKING IT OUT
All you cheeze balls out there who
complain about your skate scene
should try living here in Ho-Dad
County. Our town, East Lansdowne,
can't even afford its own name. We
have to be "east" of another town.
Our metropolis is the size of a two-
by-four but we manage to have eight
bars, five churches, two schools, a
bakery and a rotter store. In the sum-
mer of '86 everyone around was seen
skating but as soon as summer vaca
tion was over one of the squeakys
says, "Skating is out!" and he went
and bought a Hutch, so now all the
poser boys are playing "pocket ball"
with themselves and the only ones
who skate are me and my peaceful
pal, skate bro Neil-B. We did have two
ramps. One got thrashed by Yar
Dudes listening to W.A.S.P. and the
other one got taken away by the Local
Bacon. So when all you Skate
Juanages think you got ACME
skaters in your village, come and
skate here for a week. This town is
just a tad bit slightly imperfect.

JUSTICE TO UNFAIR
As I read the "Unfair" article in
your March 87 issue I began to notice
that whoever wrote this article was
not only a genius, but an asshole and
"a serious skater." This ego head
starts to point out that other people,
who were not as good as he, got in
his way, and that kids were trying
stupid little trendy tricks, tricks I have
never heard before such as allies to
grabs. He also points out that the kids
could not even do Berts. (Whoa, kids,
I never knew that if you could not do
a Bert, then you could not skate.) For
a "serious skater," you have got a
seriously big head. Take some advice
and don't judge skaters on how good
they are, because soon you will be
old and these trendy little skaters will
be carrying on the skate tradition.
After all, you are not God.

PS. You did a great job on building
this street paradise.
Well, can you do a bert or can't you?

THE THRILL OF VICTORY
You probably get a lot of letters
about stupid cops, but here's al
classic. One day I was thrashing out-
side a mall near my home with some
friends when a cop drove up. His
lights flashed and some of my friends
took off, but I decided to stay. He
slithered out of his car and slowly
walked up. I was stupid enough to
give him my real name and he
smoothly handed me a $50 ticket. He
said it was high because I was
violating some (Continued on page 14)
