SPONSORED MA'AM
I'm a fifteen-year-old chick who
skates for fun. I get pissed because
the punks at my school tease me
and say I'm a "poser. It's been like
this for a couple of years now until
one day there was a summer skate-
boarding contest. When I placed 3rd
over all, I was stoked. I've been
skating for 4 years now and I admit
I'm good One day I got a call from a
sponsor and since my name can
also be a boy's name they evidently
thought I was a boy! When I told
them I was a girl they freaked and
hung up the phone! Shit. That
pissed me off! What's their prob
lem? There are so may idiots in this
world! Is there any hope of being a
pro even if I'm a girl?
CONTESTICLES
Danny Iwta
Why is it that certain manufactur-
ers boycott non NSA contests? I
see snowboarders and surfers in
different sanctioned contests. So
what's the problem? The reason I
came up with for boycotts is, "fear of
not being able to buy the judges"
Thanks, SUA.S

Love 'em or leave em, the fact
remains that the NSA has stuck
with it year after year while other
would be wannabe contest promot
ers and organizations have turned
out to be rip-offs or lightweights. T

RAIN DEAD
Here's some advice: Never skate
a fiberglass ramp without pads
when it is raining on Friday the 13th

BANNED LAGGIN'
I'm a skater and I think cops and
the government suck. My reason is
in the city where I skate they have
banned skateboarding. I mean, if
you skate uptown you could have a
chance of juvenile hall, for just hav
ing fun. They are even taking Vision
and other skate clothes off the
racks at Herbergers and other
stores. What can I do?

You can either get organized and
stand up for your rights or quit
skateboarding altogether and get a
job at Herbergers. T-ed
