I'm so fucking
sick of skateboard-
ing being exploited by big ass corpora
tions. For example, one day I was walk
ing through Ralph's supermarket where
my mom works. I was bored, so I walked
over to the magazine rack to see if there
were any skate mags. There weren't any.
so I picked up a surf magazine. I flipped
through the pages and came across a
skate ad I couldn't believe what I was
looking at. It made me sick. It was an
ad for Nike skate shoes. It pissed me off
First of all. Nike doesn't know the first
fucking thing about skating Some fat ass
Nike executive probably took a look at
skateboarding and said to himself, "This
old school for pretty much all my life.
No matter what, I love skateboarding.
more than anything. I'm obsessed. I
live in Phoenix and I'm 14 years old
going on 15. There are a lot of stoner
and skater friends that inspire me. But 1
plan to be better. So 1, Jacques Spaniel,
as a skater, swear to Thrasher magazine
to skateboard forever, till the day I die,
as hard as I can. I plan to one day get a
picture in your magazine. I will never
give up. Let the skaters rule the world.

today. Let's make money off
it Not only are their shoes
expensive, they look like a mix
between Airwalks, Vans,
Etnies and DCs. If Nike even
knew what the hell a truck
was. I'd be surprised. Is Nike
trying to be cool or some
thing? We don't need Nike's
crap Nike is a greedy compa-
ny that's exploiting teenagers
and skaters. It will be a cold
day in hell if I see a Nike ad
in a skate magazine.

I'm 26, and I've been skat-
ing for 13 years, but now I'm
being held against my will in
the Mohave County Jail in
Kingman, AZ, on murder
charges. This girl I was with
told the police that she smoked some
guy in 94 and that I was with her when
she did it. She said she did it because
the guy had raped her or tried to earli-
er that night. I'm being charged.
because they said that I didn't call the
cops on her and turn her in and
helped her get away with the murder.
And she did get away with it, I'd like
to add. The cops didn't have a clue as
to who did it or why. So, a week later
she goes and turns herself in and tells
the police what she did and told them
that I was with her that night and that
we went on a killing spree and killed 40
or 50 people all over the country. And
the news people are comparing us to
Natural Born Killers. I've never even
seen the fucking movie. I'm from
Detroit, MI, I met her in Colorado, and
now I'm stuck in AZ-Mohave County,
Redneckville By the way, they never
found 40 or 50 bodies

All this time I have missing out on

I remember the
first time ever
dropped in, it was
about two-and-a-half
years ago. At that
time I had my Santa
Cruz Bear Wood, one
of my all-time favorite
boards. It was in
Orlando at the
Badlands skatepark.
With my great luck, I
met up with one of
my friends from
Atlanta, GA. My friend
and I were both 9, and
I had been skating
longer than him. He
wasn't up to the chal-
lenge of dropping in
on a six-footer which
seemed pretty intimi
dating at the time. I
didn't feel like drop-
ping in either for I knew I was going to
bust. But isn't that what skating is all
about? So, I climbed the small ladder
with my board in hand. I reached the top.
and it looked more treacherous from on
top of the ramp. I put the tail of my
board on the coping and placed my left
foot on top for I ride goofy. I stood like
that, one foot on the tail, the other
placed firmly on the ramp for about ten
minutes until a rollerblader said. "Go or
get off the ramp!" I didn't want to look
Like a wus, and I certainly didn't want a
rollerblader snaking my ramp, so I tight-
ened my helmet strap and placed my
other foot toward the nose of the board
I leaned forward for a second and then
reflexively leaned back. My helmet
smashed into the coping and my board
shot up in the air. I didn't think it hurt
that bad until the board came back down
and nailed me in the shin. I was bleeding
but I was in good enough shape to do it
again. I did the same thing about five
times, and by that time my shins were
badly thrashed. On my sixth try, I finally
did. It was the best feeling in my life.
