What's the difference between old
and new school skating?
Brent

Nothing my friend, it's all skating.
Unfortunately, some skaters are
more willing to talk shit than just
skate. When you come right
down to it, none of that matters.
It's not what you do, it's the
way that you do it.
BIG BOTTOM
I'm building a mini-ramp 4
high with 7' transitions, but I
don't know how long the flatbot-
tom should be. Please help!

Depending on space limita-
tions, I suggest somewhere
between 10 and 14'. Once you
build it, you'll get used to it fast.
BLOCK HEAD
How do I count stairs? My friend
says just count the vertical parts.
But this other guy said to imagine |
how many blocks can be cut out of
it. For example, the first way.
you would have three stairs,
but the second way, you would
have two.

Sensible Advice
to Sensitive
Problems
The Burlster can't speak for any
one else, but I start at the bottom
and count how many steps it takes
to get to the top. No need to make
it any more complicated than that.
JUMP START
I just started skating and I don't
feel right riding with other skaters
because they're three times better
then me. What should I do?
NIGHTMARE
SMORGASBOARD
It started out as a good dream.
The Chef was floating in a sea of
chocolate shakes, Cheetos and
angel food cakes. Every fattening
food he could imagine was
the sky turned black and all his
there at his fingertips. Suddenly,
favorite junk foods melted into
grotesque piles of putridness. Chef
was horrified. Off in the distance he
could see a whirling plate overflow-
Matting with steam, and it was coming
Jacksonville, NC in his way. Chef tried to run, but
couldn't, he was stuck in a mass of
fish head marshmallow cream. As
the plate came closer, he could
make out the horrible shape of
what it was holding. Oh God, the
Chef wanted this awful dream to
end. The substance was levitating
Get out there every chance you
get. Skating with people better
than you will make you better
faster. Stick with it and soon
you'll be as good as them.
BASES LOADED
I have been skating for three
years and am getting good. But my
cool jackass dad wants me to
play baseball. What should I do?

Explain how difficult skate-
boarding is and you have
to focus on it 100% to be
good. If he still thinks it's
lame, gain forty pounds
and start chewing tobacco.

Something was forcing his mouth
open and an unearthly voice was
moaning in an imminent thunder,
"Open your mouth and pick your
boogers and you will get some..."
