I'm writing to you
cool people because I
have a suggestion of
an article you should
write. It should be
called "Top Ten
Hardest Names to
Say" and have like.
Chany Jeanguenin or
Karma Tsocheff or
Adil Dyani in it. You
could have it numbered 1 through
10, and then right after you list the
name, you could pronounce it. That
would be cool.
That's only three. T-ed

is the embodiment of skateboard-
ing: impudent, unapologetic and
free. He seems to care little if he
pleases people or pisses them off.
David Van Engen his sponsor included. Guys like him
shouldn't be celebrated or con-
demned, they should be left the
fuck alone. Skateboarding should
be left the fuck alone. Try putting
Jim Gagne in the Olympics, and
you'll see why our sport doesn't
belong there. Who cares if the rest
of the world appreciates skating or
not? Big ups to Wade for not going
to Atlanta. The day I see a skater
on the stand with a gold medal
I regret to inform you that the let
ter "Down Stairs" in the July '96
issue is full of even more bullshit
than the one it's bitching about.
Like he said, he obviously doesn't
know anything about Satanism.
First off, we do make sacri-
fices. My best friend Sean
is on death row for shoot-
ing both his parents while
they slept. We perform rit-
uals covered in blood,
sometimes mixed with
wine and urine. In 1989,
five people were arrested
in Mexico in connection
with the slaughter of
twelve people who were
sacrificed and cannibal-
ized by a satanic cult. One
of the people arrested was
my sister. We make sacri-
fices from hamsters to
humans. If Satan calls us to sacri-
fice one of our own, then we do. I
think the funniest thing in the letter
is when Johnny talks about
Satanists not worshipping Satan.
This boy is just asking to get killed if
he doesn't stop fucking with the
forces of evil. Don't say I didn't
warn you.

GAG ME
I just read your interview with
Jim Gagne in September's issue. I
don't know the guy, and I might not
even like him if I did, but it's guys
like him that keep skating real. He
around his neck is the
day I'll know I've
lived too long.

I was wonder-
ing if you could do an
article on the Münster
Championship. I live
in Belgium and drove
up to Münster with my
brother Mike and my
friends Jennifer and
Parker to see the com-
petition. When we got
there, we met up with some of
Mike's friends, and they said that all
the American pros weren't skating
because of some fight with some
security guard. What exactly hap-
pened? Did someone get totally
beat up or
what? I heard
that the pros
were only doing
10-minute
demos. Why?
Did they end
up skating in
Antwerp? What
I couldn't
believe was that
birdhouse
none of the '
American pros were skating, but it
was still sold out. How could some-
thing like that be sold out? Most
