FORGIVE ME
What is up with all these Christian
skaters? Every month when I get
my Thrasher, the first thing I do is
turn to Mail Drop. There is always
at least one letter praising Christ,
God and all that shit. Sure, they are
funnier than hell to read, but it's
sad that they pray to a fascist pig.
I'm an atheist and I'm not trying to
be narrow-minded, but what does
God have to do with skating? Why
skate for him?

Thanks for print-
ing "Gum" in the On
Board section of your
September '93 issue.
I had a huge erection
happening when I dis
covered my own art
work was tucked away
inside the pages of
your famous publi-
cation. By the way.
thank you for put-
ting together a real
skate video. I have been skating for
about eight years now, but it was
good to see a video with a section
on pools, Woodstock, crab eaters,
car destroyers, stoned dirt riders
and that "raw street action." I love
this video. Who are the two dancing
dudes who rapidly pick their butts?
They are the raddest.

Garbage peace, oh occupants of
the edge. I was giddy with dirty
delight to see Bryan Gregory's agit-
prop piece called Dumpster Diving.
For more details on this fun and
profitable sport, see The Art and
Science of Dumpster Diving, by
John Hoffman. Do not buy this
book! Save your hard-earned $$s.

Jocks and preps
my school suck.
Us skaters come up
with new styles and
the jocks and preps
claim them as their
own. We shaved our
heads and sported
baggy pants, and
guess what? The
jocks shaved their
heads and then the
preps got baggy
clothes. The prin-
cipal threatened to kick us out of
school until we grew our hair out,
but he didn't say shit to the damn
jocks. So what should we do, kill
the jocks, beat the shit out of the
preps, or just blow up the school?
