HEARTBREAK SKATE
I'm really pissed at John Lucero
When I went to the Savannah Pro
contest, I took my girlfriend, Monica
Thompson. I'm 15 and she's 14. Well,
that night we saw all the pros at a
party, and John Lucero stole my
girlfriend. He got together with her,
and now she doesn't like me
anymore. Now she is back home and
in love with John. She bought his
board, his shirt and Airwalks, and she
wears a hair tie just like John does.
These pros shouldn't take advantage
of their position and popularity like
that. My favorite tricks are ho-hos and
inverts.
Pissed.

JUST SAY YO!
I live in a small shitty town with six
skaters. We're all getting sick of
people making fun of us. One day we
were skating at the mall, and some
dick said you guys are wasting your
lives. This guy looked like he used
cocaine for breakfast every morning.
So we told him to waste his life his
way and we will waste ours our way.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY "EYE"
I just wanted to say that your
September issue ripped. One of the
best articles in the mag was the story
"A Skater's Eye" That was totally rad
I think that story would make a bit-
chin' episode on the new "Twilight
Zone" show. Don should consider
sending the story editors a note and
the story. What's there to lose?

CHICK TIPS
Below I have listed 10 things never
to say to a skate betty:
1. Hi there, can I jump on your
Bones?
2. What tricks can you do besides
tick-tacks?
3. The Smiths suck
4. Wow, I thought only MEN could
skate
5. I've got Slimeballs.
6. My nuts always crack under
pressure.
7. You have the same name as my
aunt.
8. You mean your hair isn't natural-
ly blue?
9. What's your zodiac sign, babe?
10. What does Anarkey mean?

LESS GODLESS
I have a one-year subscription to
your mag. I enjoy your mag very
much, but would like it even more if
you took out the sacreligious ads
such as "God made the world in
seven days. It took the Circle Jerks
longer to make 'VI, but they did a bet-
ter job. Sorry, God."
You need to cut out the sacre-
ligious ads. If not, then I'll just have
to cancel my subscription. I know you
guys advertise skate rock groups like
the Circle Jerks, but you don't have
to make it sacreligious. If you think
that's the only way you're going to
get people's attention, you're wrong.
My mom took one look through my
October issue, and that ad was one
of the first things she noticed. Other
skaters who believe in God are pro-
bably also offended by this ad. I'm
sure a lot of you skaters out there
must think I'm pretty lame criticizing
some "little piddly thing like this, but
I happen to be a firm believer in God.
If I don't stand up for what I believe
in, then who will?

RIVER RAT
I'm moving to the local river and
all the roads around are dirt! The
nearest place smooth enough to
skate is a prison entrance. How's that
for a bummer skate scene? I'm not
saying prisoners aren't nice guys or
anything, but don't you think it'll be
a bad influence on a kid? My mom
does.

Tell your mom that some of my best
friends skated around on prison
driveways in the middle of nowhere
and they turned out just fine. Ted
