stayed in James' yard). No one else
had a name for her; they didn't need
one. No one wanted her. They could
not have understood. Our baby was
buried alive by a bulldozer and a
landowner's greed. He could not
have understood. Buried with her is
a bit of Sam's, James' and my blood
sweat and flesh, and a part of our
souls. Soon her cross will be replac-
ed by a condo. I hope her spirit
haunts it forever. I wrote this be-
cause you must understand. I hope
it's not too late to say this, but baby,
I love you and I'll never forget you.

In response to the kid who
grossed everybody out: If you
wanted pity, you got it. Everybody
has a terminally embarrassing mo-
ment in their life, but I'm afraid yours
isn't one you can look back on years
from now and laugh at. Two points
to make in relation to the situation:
1. You should have let your mom
know that you were sick but wanted
to go jam. She probably would have
given you some Pepto and/or made
you stay home. It's not queer to ask
your mom for help-it's her job as
a mother to do things for you.
2. Now you will find out who your
real friends are. Awful as it may
sound, this is the truth. Don't rule
out non-skaters either; a friend is a
friend. Being able to fit into a group
is a worthwhile thing, but a friend is
priceless.

I was skating with my friend Sam
at McDonald's. We were skating the
curb out front when a lot of parents
and their kids went in for some kind
of party. They were giving us bad
looks. About five minutes later
Ronald McDonald came out in his
clown suit. He started griping and
telling us to leave. I fell down and my
board hit the curb and flew up and
hit Ronald McDonald in the dick
(groin). He started screaming and
threw a McD.L.T. at Sam. It pegged
him in the face. Then he chased us.
It was just an accident. Ronald got
fired for leaving the party. He didn't
catch us, but we called McDonald's
later and complained. Ronald
McDonald is now filing assault
charges on Sam and I. Wish us luck.

WORKMAN'S ROMP
I just happen to be one of the few
skaters who lucked out and received
the opportunity to work in a skate/
sailboard shop. After I worked there
for almost a year, the store was split
into two shops. All the skateboard
equipment was moved next door
and me right along with it. With this
new store came a new boss. This
new boss just happened to be my
employer's wife. Well, things ran
smoothly until this rather attractive
new boss began the sexual harass-
ment. Then things ran smoother.
So, I thought I'd say to all the
skaters out there that harassment
isn't always a bad word.

Yo THRASHER,
I am six years old and when I grow
up I want to marry Flea and Tony
because I like their tattoos. Please
send me the Red Hot Chili Peppers"
address so I can write them and
come over to their house and play
with Flea's baby. Your magazine is
chill, not weak like the others.

OVER THE EDGER
I live in the East Village section of
New York City right near the famous
Skate NYC headquarters. Well, last
week I went over there and bought
a whole set-up, which set me back
about $145. I was really anxious to
skate. Being that I am brand new to
skating. I was reluctant to hit the
sidewalk right away. I figured that I'd
run too many people and dogs into
the ground. I planned to try out this
lot on the West Side, but I couldn't
wait, so I went on my roof. It looked
pretty safe because the walls are
straight up and about five feet high.
After I got the hang of basic moving
I noticed the front wall was slanted.
I thought it would be way cool if I
could just go up about halfway and
coast down backwards. I couldn't
get the front off the ground, so I kept
hitting the bank rather than going up
it. I worked on pushing the tail down
till I got it. I only went about two feet
up the bank, so I got a long running
start and tried again. Up I went! Over
the whole wall. I saw the street
below me. I didn't know what to
think; it was like a real wild roller
coaster or something. The board
flew out from under me, and I fell
three stories down into the fire
escape and passed out.
Now I'm in a body cast and I can't
wait to get out so I can skate again.
As in skiing, danger is the biggest
thrill. Thanks for a cool magazine to
read in the meantime.
