says. This is chiefly due to my | OOPS, SOUTHERN STYLE
I can't believe it! After 100 action-
packed issues ya'll finally messed
up something in my town. On page
97 in issue 100 Lance and Steve are
doing a grind and you say,
"Steadham and Lance devour some
Dallas concrete." The prob is that
it is in Fort Worth, about 35 miles
west of Dallas. I forgive you for it, but
don't let it happen again!

grades, in her eyes. My grades
aren't that bad, they're about
average. But to her B's are barely
acceptable. She really resents my
skating. The first marking period she
took away my rights to TV. The se
cond marking period she took
videos, cassettes and grounded me
on school nights. The third marking
period she took phone, weekends,
sweet foods, skate magazine
subscriptions, she tore every poster
and ornament off my bedroom walls
except my clock, and I have to sit in
my room one hour every night. Now POST
she's going to send me to a private
school where the most athletic kid
is Mr. Wimp. I just wrote to tell all the
wimpy skaters out there who are
bitching about all the hassle and no
good spots to skate as hard as you
can and slam even harder.

The one thing I like about red
curbs is that cars can't park beside
them. This is dedicated to my friend
Red Curb.

skate chicks comprise five percent
Not to bitch or anything, but if
of the total skate population, how
come you don't devote five percent
of your magazine to female skaters?

Now my dad says I'm irresponsible Umm, I don't know. Why? T-ed
and my music is crap. I was listen-
ing to a local band, Necromancy, in
my room and he busts in and starts
to bitch about how it's a fad and it's
crap. He says to listen to classical
and old rock and roll. He goes on
about how he's in touch with his
spirit more than most.

IN WITH THE OUT CROWD
Quit whimpering about skate
harassment. Every time I read Mail
Drop it's all: "Some stupid jock.
some stupid cop, harass, harass,
blah, blah, BLAH." Shut the hell up
and live with the fact that no one
likes us.

I was reading a letter in the May
issue titled "Tow Head." There is
some "pissed skater" saying that he
saw a skater jump five cars. I saw
it too. I would just like to say that the
guy, Von Sheafer, who you saw do
the jump may have been lucky but
he sure knew what he was doing. He
holds the Guinness World record for
that 37 foot, 10 inch jump. Also, he
did land the jump, then he bailed.

I hear all this stuff about Central
American countries like Guatemala
(April, 89) and Peru, but what about
Panama? Here I am, a screwed dual
national, choking on all this dictator
crap. Even so, thrash metal bands
still play here and we all still skate.
