Yan J.K. Bohm. Port De Mor, Quebec
it impresses the babes, and I lost
fifteen pounds last week. (I cur-
rently weigh 250 pounds.) I have
been trying to find places to skate,
away from bothersome cars. I even
tried to help a local in building an
Indoor skatepark here in Sacra-
mento. But I realize there's not
many places to skate. I even went
to a mall after hours one night and
a rent-a-pig said, "You guys know
you're not supposed to be here.
You better leave, or I'll call the
sheriff! It didn't bother me about
getting arrested, as I could have
gotten away with the infraction. But
I was skating alone. I am one of
those guys?!I am a criminal on the
loose, and I'm coming to the mall
nearest you. So, after going under-
cover, I know what you skaters are
going through. Despite what my
peers think about skaters, I will
continue to ride! I may stink, I may
be the oldest and heaviest skater
around, I may not be able to allie
over high curbs, but I will continue
to thrash!

HARMONIOUS DREAMER
I read all the letters about skaters
in the Persian Gulf and wondered
why skaters can't be peace-loving
pacifists. The skaters of the world
should band together, pool their
money and buy a country for
skaters only. That would stop skate
harassment. Make love, not war.

RIGHT TO RIP
Skating is a form of expression.
It's kind of like words; you can
explain yourself with it. So it's
freedom of speech. Therefore,
according to the First Amendment,
skating is an inalienable right.
People should really try to see it
from a skater's point of view.

And, for those who picture their
skate as a weapon, it falls under
the right to bear arms. T-ed
STORM CLOUDS
When it thunders outside, God's
skating his halfpipe. When lightning
strikes, God's doing a 50/50 grind
across the steel coping. And when
it rains, God sweats after a hard
day of skating.

VOCABULARY TERM
I'd just like to give my definition of
a skater: an outcast of society, a
social misfit. One who rips and
tears on concrete anytime, any
where, and who defies the law of
gravity in an upward motion. A
human or such who grabs a simple
piece of wood and flies down that
surface like it was nothing.

SIT DOWN
Did you know that fifteen people
every day get injured by toilet
seats? And they say skating is
dangerous.

Thanks for the article on "The Pit
in the April 1991 issue. Sure is a
great way to get aggression out!
Another great way is the sport of
rugby, where we scrum, ruck, maul,
rake and still have a good time
after the game. You don't have to
be a jock to play, because it's only
a game. Rugby is like sex-you do
it once and you can never stop.
Care to play?
