trash!
SPARE TIME
because back in '78, I just got sick of win-
ning. After that, I just skated for fun.

FEARLESS LEADER
Webster's definition of Thrasher: one that
thrashes. thrash: to beat soundly with a
whip to defeat, to move about violently. to
go over again and again.
Interesting! Just tell me, what age group
are you targeting? My son is 15, and he and
his friends read and enjoy Thresher. Until
today, I have allowed this trash in
my home. But no more! Why?
First page: some demon-look-
ing character is beating up this
old mon. Next page: two semi-
nude women butt to butt;
what's your point? Page 4:
"Bicycles were my first laste
af the outside world, away
from my parents' control..."
How subtle. Page 8: T
Mitchell draws you a picture
of sex interrupted. When I
read Mail Drop, my question is answered on
the type of people you're reaching. These
poor, messed-up, mixed-up kids will find no
answers in Thrasher, but they will find
defeat. Page 76: you scraped the bottom to
find a totally senseless article. How do you
do it? Profenity throughout your magazine,
your anti-Christ, anti-parents, and anti-femi-
ly garbage offends and harasses the educat
ed reader. For that reason, I would be a fool
to ever allow you back in my home again!

COP A BUZZ
My name is Thursday, and I work part-
time as an undercover detective for the
Detroit PD. Directly after work, I go skate-
boarding. Detroit is a terrible place-to
skate, that is. All of the skateboarders make
fun of my dothes and are afraid to smoke
their marijuana around me because I work
for the police. Usually I pull the pressure flip
with the bigger spin. I don't get a lot of
women, I don't like 'em. All I like is skate-
boarding and getting shot in the leg. You
might be wondering why the name Thursday
never comes up of the contests. That's simply
and
One time me and my friend were walking
through our local mall and saw some people
talking about God and stuff. They were try-
ing to make everyone there Christion. Since
that pissed us off, we decided to sit down
hackle them. I yelled, "God sucks!" and
they looked at me like they wanted to kill
me. This stupid lody who was their leader or
pastor or whatever sat down next to
us and demanded that we go with
her to some church place. When
we said no, she tried to force us.
Then my friend yelled, "Security!
This woman just touched my
penis!" She got arrested, and
those stupid God worshippers
went eway and haven't been
back since. Another job well
done by the local, apathetic,
skateboarding losers adults
like to call "Generation X"

LETTER RIP
You've got, like, a really cool mag, but
why are you se sexist? I mean, "C'mon. "In
some issues you have less than one girl on a
skateboard. I mean, I have my own skate-
board and am on it the whole time. So, are
you going to get some more pics of girls on
skateboards? If not, you'll get many more
letters from me!
Keep writing. Ted

This goes out to "Hot Mama" in the Jon
'97 issue and all of the moms from here on
out that read their kid's Thrasher. Get over
yourself. Crush, kill, destroy-these are
words of revolution, not just a skate maga-
zine. Open your Bible and read it for once,
and you'll see they use these words too.
Angel Dust is what the angels sprinkle on
those souls going beyond the petty money
grubbing of the world to become individuals.
It was selfish of druggies to take the word
