To the piece of poop who wrote
"Mad Hatter" in the July issue: What
the hell's wrong with you? Thrasher
is something I read for fun and it
pisses me off when serious, narrow-
minded PBS-watching dickwads like
you write in with negative bullshit
about how vulgar Thrasher is. Any
one who's capable of thinking can
see it was just a stupid joke. All I'm
saying is stop acting like my dad.

I'm writing to respond to some let-
ters in your June '93 issue. This one
goes to "Brain Wash:" Hey man, all
the skaters I know are Christians.
They skate for Christ all the way.
My church even has a halfpipe in the
back. We also have a skate club. And
most of the Christian bands skate,
which makes life more fun to skate
in. Hey Mark, check out a band
called Unashamed. They kick A
I also have a quick comment about
"Die Laughing" I hope you're jok-
ing Stokie-D because you're killing
yourself. Also, I am so straight
edge, I can cut you in half.

All you skaters that knock surfers
should think about
who the real forefa-
thers of skating were,
all the skaters he sees on the road
whenever he gets out of prison:
Fuck you. I'll come to that prison and
personally rip your heart out. I'm a
fifteen year old skater who looks at
his Thrasher as his bible, and anyone
who dogs it shouldn't go on living.
if I ever see you on your big bad
Harley, I'll pull out a nine and blow
your brains out right there. Oh yeah,
what are you in prison for, jacking off
in public while looking at a picture
of Pee-Wee?

North Vernon, IN
One day as I was picking my
nose, I stumbled upon a huge
booger. I carefully sniffed the pecu-
liar looking object. Then I began to
ferociously nibble at the crunchy
outer shell. The taste was more
scrumptious than anything I had
ever eaten before. Suddenly, I
thought to myself, "I cannot utterly
destroy this magnificent booger for
a few moments of taste bud satis-
faction!" So I decided to keep the
object as a pet, but there is a ques-
tion which perplexes my mind. What
should I name it?

and no, they weren't rol-

surfers who got bored with
surfing and then
invented the
skateboard. So

To that dumb ass in the July issue
who thinks he is going to run down
was sitting in my
science class last
week and Ms.
Dyke-o was talk-
ing about radii
when she noticed me doz
ing off. She asked me
how many degrees
are in a circle. She was
not expecting me to
say a word. I answered
almost immediately, "360"
The look on her face sucked and she
asked me how I knew that. My
answer was, 'Skating.' She was total-
ly speechless, it was great.

Then how many degrees are there
in a big spin? Ted
Success. Failure. The two ends
of the line. It's unfortunate
how the fear of failure
keeps most people from
even trying. It keeps them
quiet and just like
all the rest, Paralyzed
with fear, How many
artists, musicians,
authors, (whatevers) are
out there that havent
ever put themselves
on the line because
they're afraid of
failure, it's all
about trying.
Success is the effort.
Failure is simply part
of the whole.
