Your magazine rules! I loved that
story in the June issue called "Crush,
Kill, Destroy. That guy in it with long
hair was cool. All the pictures in your
magazine rule. Before, I was a little
disappointed with the lack of stories,
but now there are tons of stuff. I
can't understand why all these kids
write in and say you suck. You rule. 1
saw this other skateboard magazine,
and it seemed that everything they had
was copying off of you guys. I live in
this town where you're not allowed to
skate anywhere. All there is
around here is damned
bladers doing soul grinds and
crap. I went to the
Washington
Township
Skatepark
four or five
times, and 11
for!!
love it there. Right
now I'm using Ron
Gordon's old deck and
wheels-the same wheels he had in
your magazine. It's so cool that the
wheels I use are in your big famous
magazine. Ron Gordon is the coolest
guy I've ever met. Ron Gordon is such
a good skater, he should be in your
mag more, I think

I've had a subscription:
ever since I became.
America's son in exile
(prison skate trash). Every)
month I check out the Mail
Drop and constantly see
punk ass, whining mutha-
fuckas crying about the
most stupid shit: "Oh, I
worship Satan" or "I believe
in God" or "Tom Knox
sucks dick" or rollerblad
ing faggots begging for
slack they'll never get. The
younger skaters need to
shut the fuck up and just
skate. Write to Mail Drop
with the wicked ass stories
or the hottest spots to ses
sion. Don't write and bitch.
about how sorry shit is. I'm
in prison and respecting,
now how important I took
my skating. I have to admit
that I took it for granted at
times, but I'm paying now with each
passing (no session) day inside here.
I want to skate so fucking bad. I may
be going home soon, but to you, skate
junkies, keep it real 'round the clock.
I should be out there with you as soon
as these punk cops release the beast,
but I'll get mine in the end.

Tom Knox, great to get a
reply from you. Well, I'm not
sure where to start, but I
guess I'll start with my name.
If you didn't know, this is
the "fuckhead from
Missouri" (very
clever). My real
name is Kevin
Tucker. I signed John Doe because it is
what I sign most of my writings
(fanzines). Not that it really matters
since my views were a general view.
You really nailed my description. I
am the epitome of skate videos being
a vegan, pacifist, anti-capitalist,
straight-edge, anarchist, who skates
around in non-brand name pants,
Subhumans shirts, and duct-taped
canvas shoes. Nice try, Tom.
As for the rest of your letter, I
would love to have your sponsors. If
