even their own choice. Someone else is
telling them what "normal" is, to the
point where if anyone decides to cast
aside society's facade of normalcy, they
are deemed an outcast. Why, because
they choose to live by their own terms? If
what they're doing isn't causing anyone
harm, why can't others let them be
happy? Society spends too much time
worrying about what others may think,
when all that really matters is whether or
not they're happy. Most
people live with a false
sense of security. They
think they have high.
self-esteem, yet they
avoid any situation
where they might be
looked upon as "differ-

confident doesn't try to

GOOD LUCK
My 12-yr-old son real-
ly wants to get into
skateboarding, so we
purchased your mag in hopes that it
would encourage his interest. After view-
ing it at home, however, we soon realized
your mag is nothing but raunch-down-
right filth. You do nothing to encourage
the sport; you just encourage immoral
thoughts. You can be sure that our
money will never be used again in pur-
chasing your publication.

than a hemorrhoid on the ass of the
skateboard world. If anything, skate-
boarding was invented by surfers during a
flat spell-not by some fucked-up scum-
licker on rollerskates. The only reason
rollerskates are in the equation is because
they were in the shed unused. The only
enhancement is that some retard decided
to put the wheels in a
single file row. Big
leap forward in tech-
nology. You don't
even give the readers
the common courtesy
of letting them know
E what you ride. Let me
guess your
boyfriend's 12" strap-
on cock! You make
me sick. You don't see
skateboarders writing
in to a rollerblade
magazine complain-
ing about how they
were at their favorite
park and some
rollerblader snaked
them. That's because
it doesn't happen.
Rollerbladers are at
the bottom of the
revolutionary ladder.
My advice to you is
find some other sport
or group to defend. I
personally have been skateboarding for
17 yrs and can tell you that no skate-
boarder would ever be caught dead with
those things on their feet.

ROLLER BLADE
I've been skating for 1 year and I suck!
I can ollie and do a fakie, but that's it. Did
it take the pros this long to learn? I'm
bummed out. Skateboarding is a lot hard-
er than I thought. All the skaters here in
Pennsylvania are assholes. I'd ask them
how they did a trick, and they'd tell me to
leave them alone.
