I was wondering if you could do an
interview with Jason Lee. The guy has
his own damn shoe, and I have never
seen him skate in my life. All my
friends tell me that he is awesome.
and I want to see if they're right, but
not to prove them wrong or anything.
I just wish that you guys can put in
some photos or an interview so that I
know why the hell he is pro. By the
way. I think the interview with Tom
Knox was rad, because he is fucking
bad ass at skating, and I think it is
about time people see some stuff
about him.

Me and my friends are 10 and 1
already skateboard. We wear baggy
clothes, listen to cool music, and
want earrings and tattoos. We hope
to be good skaters. My friends are
forming a band. Get ready to see us
in your magazine in the future.

I recently picked up your June
issue and was disgusted to read the
contents. One thing that caught my
attention was all of the swearing in
the interviews that you did. I have
Th
been a customer of yours for a while
and have been seeing more and more
negative imaging that really puts me
off. You could get a lot more buyers if
you cleaned up your act a bit. A lot of
my friends used to buy Thrasher until
their parents saw them reading it and
decided to take a look and freaked
out! 1, for one, don't need to have the
