as your article so states. I now
know that it was just an excuse on
your part not to do an article on
us. For whatever reason, I don't
know. Maybe some day you' have
the balls to tell me why and then
make things right by doing an arti

means. You and Thrasher have
kept our efforts in obscurity to
Thrasher's readers. Hell, for being
one of the oldest skateboard com-
panies around. Thrasher
readers don't know who
we are, or that we even
exist, and we pay to
advertise in your mag for
Christ-sakes. Thanks for
the lack of recognition
and respect for everything
we've done. I hope this
letter provokes you as
much as your article did
me. It's time you do the
right thing and do a "real
article" on the "real peo-

to being one of the most sought
after forms of "skateboarding" in
the world today.

BIG DEAL
I've got a question: Why is skat
ing going back to bigger wheels?
That sucks. I'm more comfortable
with the smaller whools. Maybe
I'm jealous of the bigger wheels
because they're bigger than my
balls. Everything is fucking chang-
ing in the world. Why does skating
have to change so much? Pretty
soon we'll have wide decks again,
and skaters will be wear-
ing spandex. I think
skating should bring out
a fucked-up culture of
its own, what you want
is what you get. The
assholes running the
businesses are making
money off of us and not
getting an average
skater's point-of-view
We need to look at the
skaters on the streets
and see what we'd like
skating to become.
