SLUGGIN' OUT
Yesterday I ran over a 6%" slug
and it splattered all over my skate.
Don't you hate it when that happens?

SELF WISH
If there's one thing I've learned
from your mag, it's to not give a crap
about what anyone else thinks and
to be yourself. I try to live by it.
Thanks.

HATE MUTIES
This letter is being written to ex-
press our utmost contempt to "The
Mutie Squadron," whose zine was
featured in the April 1990 issue of
Thrasher. Your comments on the in-
ability of girl skaters to execute the
most elementary tricks of the skating
profession were ignorant, crude, of
lending, and worst of all-incorrect.
Your stupidity will be your death.

Maybe they should have written about
the inability of certain girl skaters to
understand sarcasm, T-ed
COLD VAMPIN'
Greetings and salutations T. Wyatt,
friends and other nonbelievers. A
large amount of people are tired of
your crap. What makes you so
special? Do you think vamps choose
to be what we are? I think not. But
here we are, and seeing as how we
can do little about it, we are proud
to be vamps. Half the vamps I know
don't even kill men. I
personally live off small
irrelevant things. Most
happen to be a nuisance
to society anyway. There
is certainly no thrill in kill-
ing people, unless
you're sick or some-
thing, and being a vamp
makes the idea no more
thrilling. I seriously
doubt we are doomed to
hell in fact, some of
us are very religious. I
happen to be Buddhist,
but another vamp I skate
with is Catholic. The
myth about crosses is
simply a myth totally
untrue. I never believed
in vamps either, but I am
now 18 and was recently
converted two years ago
It can happen to you. At
first my master told me
I had to give up skating.
but I said screw that. We
skate now, during the
night after dinner (usu
ally consisting of things
which would have made
my stomach turn two
years ago). Most of all, though, we
have fun. All the advice I have for the
nonbelievers is not to criticize what
you know nothing about. If my master
had seen what you wrote, he would
think that all skaters were damned
to hell. He'd never let me skate again.
Hey, the way I see it, we're all skaters,
so let's stick together. Stop criticiz
ing one another on our personal
lives. Be cool and skate all you can.

salivates at the sight of scabs. Ted
HEE HAW HUH?
My son Duke has one of them
there board skates. And when I plow
the north field (100 acres), I can't get
him off that board skate for a click on
the clock.

TUBA THRIVING
Responding to "Pipe Down," page
8, May 1990 issue: Hey what's wrong
with playing the tuba? I've been play
ing the tuba for three years and
skating for three years and I still skate
good. You could have said flute or
bass clarinet you know.

Yeah, hey, surfers get tuba'd all the
time. Ted
FURIOUS PHOBIA
I was really pissed off at a picture
in your April 90 issue, page 53. It had
some guy with his fat ass stickin' in
the picture. You're making skaters
out to be faggots
