COLD SWEAT
I'm going through skateboarding
withdrawal. The co
ops took my
board fo
d for fifteen days. This is my
fourth day and the symptoms
already are: deep depression, irri-
table mood swings, nausea, dizzi-
ness, flashbacks, cold chills, hot
flashes, suicidal thoughts, lack of
oxygen to the brain, insomnia and
recurring nightmares. Please give
me some sign that there is hope.

HARD KNOX
I was flipping through the July
'96 issue and came across the
interview with Tom Knox. At first I
thought, "Here's a hardcore
skater, then I realized that he's a
self-righteous, conceited piece of
shit. The first thing this pussy
starts whining about is not being
in the mags. The only reason this
bastard isn't in the mags is
because more talented skaters
have come along and Thomas
can't face that. Then he talks
about the industry's back stab-
bing, who are just trying make
a living just like anybody else.
But, what really got me was when
this piece of shit said that all these
pussy kids went out and bought
snowboards instead of skate-
boards and that snowboarding
takes hours to learn. I have
I
snowboarded for four years, and
I'm still learning. Tom, if you
brought your pussy ass up to
Wasilla, Alaska, everyone who
boards would kick your ass. So,
come on up and we'll see who
the pussy is.
I'll referee. T-ed
