them. I love skateboard-
ing. I am a strange girl. I
have a tree frog with an
Italian name. Please hook
me up with a boy my age.
I would appreciate it. It
seems like half of the
products skaters wear
become mainstream. My
sister is a hardcore skater.
She had her Doc Martens
for four years, and just last
year they came in style. I
hate mainstream. Well, if
you do find a boy for me,
give him my address to write me.
And was Kurt Cobain good in bed?
Ask his wife for me. I think most
skaters are fine. For me, someone
chunky but funky. I know you're not
Love Connection or anything, but I
am really shy talking face to face
with boys.

SPAIN DRAIN
My name's Danny, and I
am living in Barcelona,
Spain, for four months.
I'm not the greatest, but
I skate, for enjoyment
only. Nevertheless, I do
know a pro skater when
I see one and the scene
over here kicks ass. But
there is one problem,
the cost of boards and
other skate gear/cloth-
ing is double that of
the US, due to the fact
that it's imported. And
as far as sponsorship goes, it
doesn't exist. I know there are
pros in England and other parts of
Europe, but in Spain, well, noth-
ing. As I watched a few skaters
making a video with their second-
hand cameras, ripping shit up. I
thought. "Damn, they rip up Omar
Hassan or Mike Carroll's shit with
no problem, vert and street." So,
get your asses out here and spon-
sor these bastards! It's not too hard
to find the skate scene over here
because there's two main skate
spots: Sants (the more important of
the two) and Turo Parc. Sants for
street, Turo for vert (only it's diffi-
cult to skate Turo because it's
infested with redneck, rich, preppy.
fascist, racist assholes who call
themselves skinheads. And because
of this, only in the morning, while
they recover from last night's drink-
ing session, can we skate Turo). But
during the mornings, the Spanish
skaters rip up the ramps. There are
even ten-year-olds pulling switch
heelflips! So, go get some people
who speak Spanish, get out to
Barcelona, and let them show you
what they've got. They're serious,
everyday, twenty-four hour skaters
who deserve a shot.

JOE COOL
I had just complet
ed the fattest flatland
line ever, across the
junior high parking lot.
I threw a big shove-it
off the eight inch side-
walk onto the black
asphalt and continued
along with a kickflip, fol-
lowed by a fakie big
spin and finished off with a varial
kickflip, just barely sticking it. After
shit like that, I always find myself
looking up right away to see if any
of my friends are watching. If they
are, I just keep skating with a
straight, serious expression on my
face like I land those tricks every
time. I was practicing heelflips on
the smooth, freshly painted lot as
my friend, Matt, pulled up in his
truck. He parked and grabbed his
board out of the bed. "Man, prac-
tice was a bitch today," Matt said,
as he rubbed his sore legs. "We ran
our asses off. I must have done a
hundred sets of sprints." "Oh, quit
whining, you Sally," I said. "At least
