toiling with me. For me, it has to be
skateboarding. If a person like myself
tried using golf for a therapeutic aggres-
sion dispenser, I would run around try
ing t
to whack
hack gophers to death; eventu-
ally frustrating me enough to wrap a
shiny titanium club around some poor
bastard's neck. That's one of the many
reasons why I skate. It's cooler out
now... I must go.

COP SHOT
As I was reaching for your magazine in
the back of my Dad's car, we pulled on
to an off-ramp. While on the off-ramp,
some cops pulled us over for me not
having my seatbelt on. My dad patient-
explained that I had taken my seat-
belt off only a few minutes before to get
some magazines. He gave us a ticket
anyway. True, I wasn't supposed to
have my seatbelt off, but it made me
think. Isn't it funny that cops can fine
you for not having your seatbelt
on, but they can't find out if a
celebrity killed his wife? Isn't it
funny how a cop can bust you
for skating, but can't find out
who robbed the local gas sta-
tion? Incombe co
Incompetent is the
best way to describe cops
today. When they fine you,
the money goes towards dough-
nuts and coffee, while serial killers are
getting out of jail. "To protect and to
serve" has lost its meaning in today's
society.

NAKED CHICKS
My friends and I were kind of dis-
appointed when Fresh Jive stopped
picturing half nude women in their
ads and replaced them with some
skater that they sponsor. You should
get on the phone right now with
Fresh Jive and demand that if they
don't start exploiting women's bod-
ies again, then their ads might be
replaced by an advertiser who will.
Also ask them what Fresh Jive
stands for, because I, and many
other people, want to know. "Fresh
Jive"... What is it? When you drink
some Kool Aid with too much
sugar and your arms start to shake
uncontrollably? Is it when you run
outside in your boxers screaming
profanity at your neighbor for let-
ting their dog shit in your front
yard?

HANG TIME
We're two skaters (one old school,
the other new school) who met up
here in prison. Luckily, the new
school dude's parents sent him
Thrasher, which we have
since memorized. We
decided that I (the old
schooler) would draw up
that
an envelope in hopes that
it may grace your pages.
This whole locked-up, no
skate thing has lead us to p
wonder what's up with
have any
Gator. If you
info, let us know. We'd
let us
him and
enjoy writing
trading step-by-step fin-
gerboard tricks. And
if you bros have
any old rags col-
lecting dust, then
hook us up because our par-
beca
ents hate us, we've got no money,
and we had to pimp out some weak
dude's booty just to get an envelope.
Stay skating strong and free.

What's up? What's the deal with.
sponsorships? I think I'm pretty
damn good. Actually I am just aver-
age-maybe just above average. I'm
thinking about sending out a spon-
sorship video but have no idea
what tricks to throw in to impress
the sponsors. My best tricks now
are heelflip frontside noseslides and
fakie pop shove its to tailpick. Also,
