SKATER WITH A PORPOISE
In my younger years I always
wanted to be an animal, preferably
a porpoise. Then I discovered
skateboarding. There is nothing,
nothing, nothing at all like the feel-
ing of a skate under your feet. Ya
know? If I'd never uncovered the art
of skating, I would've been a star in
a Flipper movie. Thank you.

BURNING A FEW
Hey, guess what happened! The
other night we were jammin' to the
Ramones, when all of a sudden
came such a commotion that our
candleshrine to Gibby vibrated over,
thus spilling wax and flame upon our
stack of old THRASHER magazines.
"Geez!" someone screamed.
"Quick, pass the bong!" "What?
Now's not the time to be smoking
tobacco or food!" Joey yelled. "No
duh! Just pass it!" Johnny grabbed
the bong, turned it onto his
skateboard and scooted it across the
room. Joey intercepted it and poured
the foul contents on the flames-thus
saving our THRASHER stash!
Groovy huh?
Johnny, Romil
Joey and Skate
What's worse, charred issues or
mags covered with bong water?
Phew! T-ed
HIGH HOPES
I just learned that our town is hav
ing a meeting in June to ban
skateboarding. Many have already
quit. There are about 15 skaters left
out of 2,500 kids in our school.
system. I think it's great. It gets rid
of the posers who quit when the go-
ing gets tough. I'm not quitting
skating no matter what. I hope they
arrest me and take my board away.
These are the things that start
anarchy.
because they are as sick as you are.
It is our hope that you show more
consideration, common sense and
love for those who you are trying to
reach with your publication."
I will not stand by and do
"nothing." Action must be taken if we
are to survive in a degenerating
society. How about you taking some
action by cleaning up your act? Do
you care? Or are you blind to the el-
fects of your productions? By their
fruits you shall know them. And your
fruits are evil indeed. Thanks, and be
aware that you are being watched.

Scary pictures and the idea that it's
okay to have fun never hurt anybody.
You ought to turn your efforts toward
the real problems in this country and
leave the kids alone. Ted
VIN-DICK-SKATE
See Dick drink a six-pack.
See Dick skate in the middle of the
street.
See Dick get run down by a car.
Take my advice: don't be a dick.
FOLK WISDOM
Warped Mind
Lakewood, CA
I was skating my launch ramp
yesterday after a three week break
because I smashed my fingers. I
couldn't even pull air. My 80 year-old
neighbor breezes out and tells me he
was a superb skier in his days. Then,
he tells me how to air. I had tried
everything but his way and nothing
worked, so I figured what am I gonna
lose if I try it his way? What do ya
know, Watson, it worked! Today when
I was out there he was coaching me
and I learned more from him than I
would from Hawk!

NO ROOM FOR SATAN
This is to let you know that the
name Thrasher fits you fine. You are
doing a real disservice to the young
minds that see and read this
magazine. I had no idea about the
content until recently. It is really
disgusting to see who you honor. You
glorify Satan himself. As for me and
my house, your despicable magazine
will not be seen by any of my kids at
home. My wife and I have discussed
the perversion portrayed by
magazines such as yours and
believe me, you are sick to publish
what you publish and think you can
get away with it. The government or
the proper authorities should take a
good look at your magazine and
decide if it is suitable or not for those
who it is intended for.
This country needs to wake up to
the fact that it is destroying itself from
within. And it is about time it put a
stop to nonsense that you publish.
If the leaders of this country cannot
see the harm you are doing it is
