HEY HOGIE 1
This is concerning a letter in the
May Mail Drop section by Hogie 1,
who said that if you hold the Powell
ad from your March ish up to a mir-
ror it reads 666, the number of the
Beast. Take another look in your mir-
ror. Instead of reading 666 it will read
999. Furthermore, if I had a friend like
that I would tell him to bite Big Ed.

Hogie 1, if you think the Powell ad
is bad, multiply 9 by 47...now that's
some evil arithmetic. Maybe if you did
a little less nit-picking and a little
more skating, you wouldn't have to
worry about the boogie man.

I think old Hogie should check out
the milk cartons at my school and
he'd find the "satanic sign itself."
Hey, dickhead, didn't you ever read
Puff the Magic Dragon or did daddy
forbid that satanic propaganda?

PS. The reason I typed this is my
parents beat me with a Cuisinart
when they found me listening to Little
Bo Peep.
Hogie 1 said that if you hold the
Powell ad from your March issue up
to a mirror it reads 666. Sorry, bud-
dy, that's wrong. It reads:
ЗЗИОВТАЯ АТЈАЯЗЯ ЗМОЧ

What's the deal with this satanic
stuff? I bet you could take the "Del
Monte" symbol and somehow get a
Satanistic meaning. "Death Pears
from Hell!" This reminds me of a
bunch of old ladies talking on the
phone. People always incorporate
the devil with skating. Why? I admit
some of the music I listen to isn't ex-
actly angelic, but I'm no devil kisser.
I think people are intimidated by
skaters. Why? We are just a bunch
of kids trying to have fun in this anti-
enjoyment society. In God we skate!

If Hogie 1 is gonna be so stupid,
why didn't God give him a vision of
corruption that included the fact that
spelled backwards Natas is "Satan,"
live is "Evil" and my dad's name is
"Sinned?" Skate spelled backwards
is "Etaks." So what?
SINcerely,
Deanna & Trish

All right, all right just between you
and me, Hogie, some people just
can't take a joke. That is, judging by
how many rushed to the mirror with
a copy of the March issue. Ted
DEVIL DRIVES IN DODGE
The other day I was cruizin' down
the street on my board when all of
a sudden a lady came roaring down
the road honking her horn at me. I
was on the other side of the street.
I mean, this lady has no right to honk
at me. Am I right? When she went by.
I noticed her plate number was 666
It really freaked me out.

A MOVING STORY
People get hurt. I can't skate until
four months from now, but my mom
doesn't want me to skate anymore at
all. I told her that I was going to skate
no matter what she said. But now we
get into fights all the time about it.
She said if I start skating again that
she's going to kick me out of the
house. Who cares? I'll just move in
with one of my friends.

OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW
To the lady who had envelope of
the month in the April '87 issue who
said Thrasher is anti-life and tearing
down skating: You see death
everywhere not just in THRASHER.
You say THRASHER is tearing down
any good image of skating. Get
serious. It shows a more up-building
image of skating than anything i
know. Besides, skating isn't always
pretty like you want it to be. I'm thir-
teen and old enough to know that.
So face reality for a change.

THE ALLIES SPEAK
This letter is to all of you parents
who feel it is your duty to write and
declare this mag "unacceptable"
and "distasteful," etc. As a parent
and a skater, I feel the need to say
a few things. If you're having pro-
blems with your children, you're
barking up the wrong tree. You can-
not blame your inability to deal with
your children on a magazine that
merely tells it the way it is. If you need
someone to blame, look in the mir-
ror. There are no bad students, just
bad teachers. If your children are so
easily influenced, I suggest you go
back to the "Right from Wrong"
theory. Communication is the key.
Teach the kids to think for
themselves. The way you raise your
children is your business; this is a
free country, for now. But if you think
you can save them from drugs,
suicide, and smut by censoring real-
ty, you are most sadly mistaken.
Skating is a healthy outlet for aggres
sion, besides (Continued on page 14)
