CUCKOO'S NEST
I'm a thirty-year-old skater who
works in a psych facility for psy-
chotic adolescents, aged 13-18.
After reading your magazine for
the past ten years or so, I've only got
one thing to say, "Thorazine 150 mg
IM-for those who live it."
That's two. T-ed

I am sick of all the wimpy, vege-
tarian, pacifist, mega-squirrely, non-
burly attitudes I've been seeing in
skating. And I'm not saying that I'm
not down with flippity tricks. Don't
get me wrong, I dig flippity. All I
want to know is, what happened to
the attitude? We used to be the
soul-sucking, body-slamming,
pussy-cramming, surf punk rejects
of society. Now, all I see are tree
huggers. Face it, skateboarding is
turning into another granola and
diet frozen yogurt sport. It's time to
wake up, brothers. We're the punks
from the old school you've heard
so much about. Your mothers bring
your daughters in whenever we're
around. Women say we're tasty
because of the pasty girls we do.
We're the skate zombies of old son,
now who the hell are you?
WALL PAPER
Our house is one giant Thrasher.
My husband has been collecting
your mag for over seven years. He
believes he must cover every inch of
our walls and kitchens cupboards
with your mag. I don't mind because
the pictures he puts up are pretty
sexy. The tricks are good and the
guys are hot. My only real complaint
is a 24" x 36" photograph my hus
band took of Matt Hensley at the
1991 Back to the City contest. It is a
huge blow up of Matt's face that is
directly over our bed. When we
have sex, I feel Matt staring at us. It
wouldn't be so bad if only he didn't
look like he had just come. Help!

HIGH TIDE
I live by the beach and my friends
and I love to jump from bridges,
piers and rope swings at high tide
during the summer. One night I was
sleeping at my bud's house and we
snuck out around 1:30 am and
went to a friend's and picked up
our boards. The tide was just right
so we decided to climb up on top
of this restaurant. We noticed that
the roof was slanted enough to run
and dive off into the water without
getting hurt. We tried it and dis-
covered that the water was deep
enough, so we attempted to ride off
the roof on our boards and do kick-
ing jumps into the water. I was first
so I pushed the board just a little.
until I got to the end and then
closed my eyes and kick-
flipped the board
and held the
nose until I hit
the water. Then
I got out of the
water, and all of
my buds were
cheering. Then
the pigs came
and they took
us home. Too bad.
