STICKY WICKET
Yo, I have a major problem. I like
Slayer, I dress in black, I have an
earring and I also like killing things
with sharp, stabbing weapons, like
knives or pieces of wood. Am I a
Satanist or just really different?

It sounds like you don't have a
problem, your parents do. T-ed
THINK KINK
Hi! I'm a creature from out-
erspace. I just transformed myself
into this paper. And while you're
reading this, I'm having sex with
your fingers, and I know you like it,
because I see you smiling!

It's time for people to wake-up.
We need to make some changes in
this old school skate world, and
doing pressure-flips is one of them.
Prior to the year 1991, pressure-
flips (cheese swirls) were freestyle.
They were just another trick done
by Primo and Rodney. Now, after
years of tick-tacking, people need to
learn the truth.
In the US, 340,000 people are still
doing wall-rides and over 150,000
hurt their ankles on jump-ramps (not
including loading docks). There is
not a single documented case of a
person slamming on a pressure-flip,
even though they've been done out-
side contest grounds for years.
One session of pressure-flips can
wear out more shoe-rubber than
four downhill sessions. Frontside
pressure-flips aren't that hard to
learn, and you don't even need a
curb to do them on. Pressure-flip
parking lots can be found in front of
any supermarket or major hardware
store. Pressure-flips can help end
the stress of nauseating tricks like
beanplants and Bertlemans. Also,
Twinkies and Coke can both be
munched on after flatground ses-
sions and you don't have to worry
about girls because you look like a
clown in your "pressure-flip" outfit
anyway.
These are only a few reasons why
you should put pressure-flips on
your list of tricks. But it probably

doesn't matter because by the time
you read this, the entire world of
skateboarding will have exploded
into a new breed of flip-kick-chop-
stick-curb-pick-super-sick-latest-trick
whiz kids and the next page will be
a step-by-step sequence of some-
one doing a shove-it-late-kick-flip. I
rest my case.

We think it will be either late
handrails or early kickflips. T-ed
SLIME TIME
I am writing about the July Gutter
Talk. Who the hell do you think you
are? Skateboarding is one of the
most free and expressive sports
around. And you want to heckle and
criticize anyone who takes the less
traveled path of skateboarding. I've
skated mongo style (as you call it)
and I do fine in the street! What's
this shit about "left hand...right hand
...blah-blah throwing rocks..."
Designating goofy and regular
sounds like wannabe scientific gib-
berish to me! I just want to suggest
you keep an open mind! Oh, and I
hold my gun in the left hand too,
motherfuckers!

BLOOD SAUSAGE
I live in a town with hardly any
skaters. It's cool but the people
suck. I bet there's about five thou-
sand gun racks in this town. Half the
kids over six-years-old in this town
have slain at least one warm-blood-
ed mammal with a blunt object. This
goes out to all the farmer Bills out in
that big deer huntin' forest; skaters
wax curbs, but we don't run over
dogs and cattle with a truck for fun.

DOUBLE TROUBLE
Did you ever wonder what hap-
pens if you ride an un-sturdy ramp?
Well, I found out. Me and my friend
were skating one he built and said
was safe. When I got ready to go he
said, "Come on, homo!" When I got
