made him put a big piece of rubber
over his shoes so he won't eat them.
We thought about switching mags,
but all the others are cheese. Oh no,
cheese. That sounds good. Any sug
gestions before we lose our shoes?

FLASH IN THE POOL
Today we found the perfect pool-
deep, round and majorly empty.
There was about two feet of water in
the bottom, so we worked diligently
for about an hour. We finally got the
beauty empty and it started to drizzle.
We decided to go home because we
had never skated a pool before, we
didn't have any pads and it was too
slick with water. We all went home to
plot, plan and daydream about the
next day's session in our pool. Then
I was watching the six o'clock news
and the weather man was listing the
places with flash flood warnings.
Hey! That's us! We had a damn flood.
Bye bye beautiful, deep, round and
once majorly empty pool.

STRONG, SILENT HYPE
I am eighteen years old. I have
skated on and off for three years.
When I rip, I rip hard. When I slam,

I slam hard. I used to do drugs, but
I quit. I used to worship Satan, but
I don't anymore. I don't put down
people for their beliefs, color, race or
ideals. I just skate. I don't whine when
people harass me. I just smile,
apologize, try to patch things up and
move on. Who cares? Why is there
all this fuss and muss about harass
ment? If somebody doesn't like you
on their block, go to another block.
And if they don't like you, keep going.

Don't piss people off by doing after
they say "don't." Some people have
copped this bad attitude of "I own the
street because I skate." You couldn't
be more wrong. They, out there, own
it. We borrow. If they bother you, ig-
nore them. Shoot off your mouth and
you'll have them thinking wrongly
about skaters. Skating is a sport, not
a disease. Don't come down to their
level, let it go. Just skate, and leave
the harassment to those who don't
believe in skateboarding. Show them
we are big enough to ignore them un-
til they go away.

They own the streets? Skating is a
sport? They'll go away if we ignore
them? What rule book did you get
those from? T-ed
BRIGHT OUT
My parents always say there's a
bright side to everything. My ques
tion is, what's the bright side of
sucking at skating?

NEWPORT RETORT
In your October issue, you had the
group Throwing Muses. The people
in that band claim that Newport, RI
is a strange place-violent and full
of alcoholism. That is a bunch of bull.
I live in Jamestown, across the bay
from Newport, and Newport is cool.
It has skate shops, beaches and a
lot of history. And if you think it's full
of alcoholics, the only reason for that
is Edgehill, an alcoholism treatment
center. Next time you accept an
article, get the facts straight.
