(From page 14)I told her it was a skate
band and she asked the owner if the
shirt came in a bigger size. He said
sure and she bought it. I don't believe
my eyes. She bought one for my
6-year old brother as well. Now she's
even letting me build a ramp in the
back yard.

MOONIES
SHOCKED
Amarillo, TX
All you homeboyz on Earth think
your skate life is hard. Well, listen to
this. We live on the moon (the dark
side). All we skate are craters. Some-
times get hit by asteroids while we're
skating. The only good thing is our
new halfpipe, it's made from cheese.
If we catch air, we never come back.
We think you should send some
photographers, not your annoying
astronauts. We ate your American
flag. Tell Tony Hawk to give up on his
720%s. They are weak. We can do
93,105,639,516%%s. Our names are
Crater Face Bagnall, Air Macaleer
and Moon Plant Enriquez. Later

Reminds me of a "valley" bowl I

SKATE FLAMBE
Me and a friend were doing grinds
at a gas station when my trucks
sparked. The gas caused my deck
to go up in flames.

OF LITTLE CONCERN
Okay, to start out with I wanna
squawk that THRASHER is the hot-
test zine in the macroverse. But what
about the micro-verse? Is there a
microscopic world, or even a
universe where shredders the size of
germs rip and thrash micro-type
ramps and streets? If there so hap-
pens to be such a place, I wonder,
do they make minis?

LISTEN TO THAT VOICE
I was in a local skate shop today
purchasing a new deck and some
hardware. As I was looking, I saw the
new THRASHER. Out of nowhere a
tune sprang up: It was the theme to
"I Dream of Jeanie." I was most
pleased. Then a voice entered my
mind, singing "Buy-buy, buy buy buy
buy buy mel" So I did.
Well, may I say I am dumbstruck.

For sandwiched between the pages
of this once respectable mag were
two (count them-two) heavy metal
ads. As Jonathon Quail Higgins once
said, "Oh my God!" Need I say
more? Please, fellow skaters, let us
band together to halt this evil infiltra-
tion of our lives, minds and mags.

PS. What's the deal with the French
spelling of poser (poseurs)?
Check the dictionary. Ted
RITE OF SKATE PASSAGE
The other day my friends and I
decided to hit the pavement in the
heart of the city for some more
serious skating. Needless to say we
got the typical day. We weren't
skating 10 minutes before we got
stopped by a cop. He told us if we
rode "those things" any place but
the playgrounds he'd take our little
boards and little bodies down to the
"station" and settle it in Juvenile
Court. Now, we have no place to
skate. Know what we did? We got
pissed off. Then, we marched right
to the city building and demanded to
see the mayor. And they let us in! We
told him our side and that we needed
a skate park. Well, surprise, surprise.
He knew how we felt and he's really
considering it. The local paper inter-
viewed us right after that and they
told us we had a really good chance
and a load of strong facts to support
our cause and that's what it takes
So, all you skaters out there, be
strong and stand up for what you
believe in. But, do it the right way
There's a bunch of people interested
in helping if you'll only ask for help.

FREE ADVICE
This is in regard to Dave Mahan-
na and his letter in the August issue:
To all skaters, if you're called a poser
by a bunch of assholes, then stick
your head in the air for what you are
and be proud. Many skaters I know
have been injured trying tricks they
can't do all because some jerk called.
them a poser. We who know the tricks
should give our knowledge to these
so-called posers and keep the sport
of skateboarding from extinction.
Skate and destroy, but not yourself.
