BAD DONUTS
What is the deal with all the
cops that stop me and my
friends and harass us for no
real reason at all? What can I
do to get them to leave me
alone? Should I carry illegal
stuff with me or should I save
that for home?

Averill Park, NY
Small town cops will always
pick on the minority groups
because there are less parti-
cipants. If you happen to live
on the outside of the norm,
you will always be under the
scrutiny of Officer Friendly.
Never carry anything you can
get popped for.
INJURY DUTY
My mom used to be real
cool about my skating, but a
week ago I broke my wrist and
now she gets totally pissed-off
every time I talk about skating.
She wants me to stop and I
don't, what should I do?

Explain to your mother that
stairs, Coca-Cola machines
and farm machinery kill thou-
sands more Americans every
year than skateboards. What
she thinks is out of control is
actually very precise.
LAST WORD
There is hardly anyone that
still skates in my area. I asked
my friend why he didn't skate
any more and he said skating
was dead. Is that true? I am
thinking about giving it up
now because no one is around
to skate with. How can I find
more friends who skate?

Skateboarding is a fire than
can never be extinguished. It
burns the longest for those
who need not friends and
social acceptance.
Something got you down?
Tell the Burlman all about it
and he'll help you sort it out.
