SKATER'S RULE
I am writing about Jen Thomas
from Norristown, PA, in regard to
skating being outlawed in his area.
I agree with the editor, stay
underground. You asked for informa
tion on how you can stop this minor
annoyance, so here it is:
First, the commission has to have
probable cause to pass and enforce
the law. If they don't and they enforce
it and pass it based on opinion, that
suggests a form of government
called absolute polyarchy, rule of the
personal and public lives of the
American public by a few. This is
something the Constitution is totally
against. If they do have a cause, it is
probably safety. So give 'em statistics
for other forms of transportation and
sports. A skateboard can classify as
either or both. Then compare; you'll
see that the death rate for skating is
much lower than for cars or football.
Another reason could be destruc-
tion of public and private property. A
curb doesn't look bad after a grind
session, but your skate does. Tell the
commission the price of your board
is much higher in relation to your
income (since usually the skater's
income is dedicated to buying equip-
ment) than painting curbs is in rela-
tion to the town's income. You should
bitch at the commission because
they don't have softer curbs.
Now, if they are still laughing, and
they probably are, put your buddies'
and your money together for a lawyer.
If a lawyer is unavailable, proclaim
that skating is your religion and you
worship a SKATE GOD through
skating. If all this doesn't work, then
simply skate illegally. And never kiss
anyone's ass, especially a
politician's.

Couldn't have said it better, even
though I usually carry a copy of the
Bill of Rights in my back pocket while
skating. Ted
DEAD ON
In the February issue of your
magazine there was a letter from a
parent that had to do with anti-
Christian graphics. First of all, I don't
think that someone who sees an
undead creature on a board is going
to go worship Satan because he likes
the picture. Secondly, I don't think
that the writer of the letter I'm refer-
ring to has actually read an issue of
Thrasher because there isn't any
anti-Christian promotional work in
them. I think the only reason people
draw undead creatures is because it
looks so incredibly cool.
GIVE AND TAKE
Adam Smith
Wincester, CT
This is an open letter to Lapper
Zine, from the notorious Street
Urchin 'Zine:
We had a large street ramp that
was overpopulated by skaters daily.
Some of these skaters would snake
runs and steal tools, lumber and
music tapes. We got peeved, so we
dragged the ramp onto a patio and
chained it up. After being deprived
of the ramp for a few days, the other
skaters "found" the tools, tapes and
lumber. We brought the ramp back
out and everyone was happy until we
had to trash it because of a wretched
neighbor. Just deprive the populous
of CCCC for awhile. They'll learn
quick.

Street Urchin
Tucson, AZ
Hey, have you ever made a street
ramp and when you skated it, the
ramp flew back two feet? Well, me,
Josh and Scott got sick of this and
decided to do something about it. We
got some nails and a hammer and
nailed the corners of the ramp into
the street. And you know what? It
didn't budge. The only problem we
had was when the cops came and
told us to move the ramp.

LEMME'C...
I want to know something that will
stop one hell of a big argument. How
the F#% do you pronounce
"Jimmy'Z? Is it pronounced.
Jimmy-Zee or Jimmees? I think it's
Jimmy-Zee 'cuz one of the ads says,
"Jimmy'Z, E-Z in, E-Z out." My bud-
dy thinks it's the other way 'cuz of the
apostrophe. Which is it?

Hey, it's bad enough that we gotta
wear labels on the outside of our
clothes now, but when we have to
argue about how to pronounce the
name, it's time to just go naked. T-ed
DANES PAINS
Here's a story from DK (Denmark,
dead but still kicking-when it comes
to skating). Me and a couple of skate
dudes were getting pretty much
bored because we didn't have any
place to express the art of rad
skating. March-snow, rain, etc. So
we found a two-level underground
parking lot. There were, of course,
security guards, so we snuck our way
down. It was quite a radical spot to
skate. We were doing some hectic
skating-ollies up on cars, slide all
over, etc. But in the meantime the
security guards had seen us on their
TV cameras, which we had not
discovered, phoned the undertakers
(cops) and they (Continued on page 14)
