TECHNICAL FOUL
In response to "Fractured Facts"
on page 104 of your December
issue: When skaters get hurt and go
to the hospital, they should tell the
doctors it was a football accident
instead of a skateboard accident.
Then maybe they could make foot-
ball illegal.

I was wondering, after all those
miles of pushing around on a
skateboard, does one leg grow
stronger than the other leg?

the jog. Learning to push with either
foot is a must for the crosstown street

STEPPED ON
I'm writing to you because I know
you will probably understand. Ya
see, it all started out on a Thursday
night when my Mom went to bed
and I told my Dad that I was getting
three F's on my report card. He
looked at me very angrily and said,
"You're done." I said, "Meaning
what?" "Your skateboard is done.
When you come home tomorrow I'm
getting your skateboard and cutting
it in half right in front of you. Then
we'll see how your grades turn out."
Ya see, every little bit of trouble I get
into my parents always blame it on
my board. But they're wrong.
I came home from school Friday
afternoon and showed my Mom and
Dad my report card and my Mom
said, "We're going down to that
damn school and you're bringing
every one of your books home.
We're going to get a tutor for you so
you can start doing your homework
and getting decent grades." My dad
said, "No, just stay here. He's get-
ting his board cut in half." I said "No
it's not!" and I ran out of the house,
past the school and hid in some
bushes for about an hour. Then I
stashed my board at a friend's
house, used the bathroom and went
to the Diary Mart and ate a Zinger.
Then I went to the garage next to my
house and sat in an old chair. Then
I hid underneath my front porch for
about an hour. I heard my sister
come out (she's a real b-ch). So 1
ran from the porch out to the car and
hid in the back seat freezing (it's
almost winter here). The cops came
up to my house and asked my dad
if I was back yet. He said no. I could
hear them as plain as day.
After the cops left I got out of the
car, went back to hiding underneath
the front porch and here comes two
of my friends walking up the side-
walk. I called their names and they
came over. They said the cops
pulled them over and asked if they
knew who I was and they said yes,
then the cops said have you seen
him. They both said not since
school. We heard someone come.
out the door so they took off and I
went back to the car and started to
sleep (mistake). Then my sister
dragged me out of the car by my
hair. (Oh, she's 23 and married.)
She brought me inside to my
parents. They sat me down on the
couch. My dad called the cops say-
ing, "I have my son inside the
house, come and get him." The
cops came and got me, took me
down to the station and started
handing me all this crap about
education and what I did was so
stupid. I said, "Well, I just didn't
want my board sawed in half." He
said that it should have been done
a long time ago. I was thinking to
myself, yeah, whatever, just like you
wouldn't want your queer gun sawed
in half. Then he had the nerve to tell
me I was going to be placed under
house arrest for 30 days. Shit.

IT'S A POUT TIME
Whenever we went skating, the
kid down the street had the worst
temper. When we would cut on each
other and cut on him, he would say
we were jerks and go off pouting.
Every time he would mess up on a
trick he'd throw his board as hard as
he could on the ground and wo
would say. "Is that the only way you
can trash a board?" Now he doesn't
skate anymore. Go figure.

Too bad he quit. Sounds like he was
headed for pro status. T-ed
MISSED AND PISSED
I missed two issues of your mag.
When I got the latest issue I felt like
the world had passed me by. I'm
sorry. I swear I'll never do it again.

CULT IT OUT
My friends and I have a serious
problem. The people of our town
think that we are in a satanic cult
They also feel that we are modern
day vampires. I know that sounds
ridiculous, but it's true. Our town
paper published an article that told
about these vampires. They des-
cribed them as being quiet, wearing
dark clothing, and having bangs➤
