or get better friends or whatever.
Well, remember this, you only live
once, so don't live to keep anybody
happy but yourself. The genuine
people are those who don't choose
to follow the lemmings. Skating is
great because it is not widely
accepted, but is such incredible fun
at the same time.

NUMB DUMB
I had the living crap kicked out of
me because I am such a bad dude.
Those cops had every right to
thump me over. The nerve of me
for skateboarding in an empty park-
a
ing garage! Maybe now I can be
good person, like that guy who was
selling dope right across the street
from the garage. So, I want to
thank the three nice, protective
police officers for beating me up
(even after I was handcuffed) and
thumping a stupid, immature punk
like me up. Thanks, I needed that!

CURRENT
AFFAIR
We don't actu-
ally skate, but we
love to watch the
new moves. We
get the mag each
month. We have
serious skater
boyfriends. We
have our favorite
pros (Lasek,
Vallely, Miller,
Dressen). We
dress just like
skaters. We at-
tend all the daily
local sessions
and worship the
world of skate-

the question is,
if we know ev-

are we posers

street. Just my luck, a Daly City law
enforcement mobile hit my legs.
and knocked me onto the hood.
When he hit the brakes I flew off
and hit the street. The pig got out
and asked me. "Are you okay,
son?" I said, "Yeah, asshole." And
he said, "Good, you're under
arrest. My pal went and got my
board and I owe him one. I finally
got out thanks to my good old pop.
A couple of weeks later, I still don't
know what I did wrong.

Section 6, chapter 3 of the Daly
City municipal code says: "A skate-
boarder cannot and will not ollie in-
to the street. If they ollie they must
clear the whole street or be punish-
able with arrest and/or fine." T-ed
TEEN DREAM
I want you to suck my han
my hard tran-
sitions and feel my shapely founda-

deck into my hot, open channel.
Make me scream like a banshee
and moan like the dead. I need
you. T-ed, like a skater needs her/
his board. Take me, please!
