away as fast as I could and I heard
him say, "Stop!" I yelled some bad
words and skated home. My

HEADS UP
Let's start like this, I did a 180"
ollie crossing the manhole inside
our school when suddenly the man
down the manhole appeared. I hit
him straight in his head, then I fell
and my board hit the ass of a su-
pervisor, and he
took my board.
The next day he
wanted me to
teach him to
skate good. He
said if I can teach
him great, he will
return my board.

REAL ROLL MODELS
I am writing in concern for the
fact that your magazine shows
almost no female skaters. This
bothers me because, being a
female skater, I feel it's necessary
to have female role models. The
only time you see females in your
mag is when they're standing there
in some skimpy-ass outfit swooning
over some skater

Father, I have committed a great
sin. I was desperate and away from
home. I read another brand of
skate magazine. I had forgotten my
Thrasher and was tempted by the
beautiful cover on the other maga-
zine. I just couldn't refuse. After I
read it, I had an overwhelming
guilt. I swear I'll never do it again.
Will God ever forgive me or will I
end up in Hell?

SMOKE SCREEN
I just saw a commercial that real-
ly chapped my hide. There was a
skater on his way down the street
with calm classical music in the
background. Then some dude
starts talking

were gonna use

didn't you get
some hardcore
skater chicks to
do it (after all,
you're a skate
magazine) rather
than using those
bimbos? (Sorry)
girls, but, learn to
skate.) All thay did was sit and look
stupid while those other guys were
having a fun session. Anyway, I still
love your mag, but I've decided not
to wait around for you to include
females in it. I'm going to start my
own mag. So, all you skater chicks,
send me pictures of yourself skat-
ing. (You don't have to be good, it's
not a competition.)
