MAIL DROP
I'm pissed. My sister and her friends
are at it again. I wrote to Thrasher in
November and it got published in the
February issue. I was talking to a local
skate god (Justin West) when a poser
overheard my conversation and told my
sister. Now she and her friends came up
with this genius plan that, since they
suck so much and I make fun of them all
the time, they would start really skating
just to pass my abilities of 2 years up. But
since there's no such thing as a girl
skater, it's not going to be possible. Why
do girls even bother skating when they
belong in ballet class or in the kitchen?
Ever since the beginning of time, since
the caveman clubbed a bear over the
head, dragged him home and beat up his
wife, forcing her to cook it, that has been
her place. They only think they're skaters
because dressing like a girl is "too cool"
for them. Skating's not about being the
best or doing it just to be "cool." It's
about having fun like Animal Chin. Ever
since I that movie my whole life has
changed from "got to skate to be better"
to "gotta have a lot more fun." I bought it
thinking "let's see some old school," and
even though the movie doesn't have the
best skating, it's still a great movie 'cause
it's all about having fun, which is way
better than "I have to get better." My par-
ents think I'm jealous of her 'cause I'm
always talking about how much of a
poser she is. Yeah, I want to look like
trash, have 3 butt-pirate/butt-rocker
friends, listen to my brother's conversa-
tions, listen through the walls to hear my
brother's music, talk trash and run, brag
about how cool I am, get my CDs
scratched by my brother, have posters
ripped by my brother, have a hole in my
door because of my brother, have stick-
ers stolen by my brother, and have tele-

phone conversations that
consist of the following:
"yeah, huh?, huh?, yeah,
anyways, yeah, that
would be cool." When I tell
my counselor and everyone
about my problems they say,
"you should stop worrying?
about her" or "it's just a phase." But it's
not just a phase. Her goal by graduation
(3 years) is to become a pro skater. My
parents pay me $10 a week not to fight
her. Please print this so people can get
more of an understanding. If you feel the
same, write to Thrasher.

CLUCK LUCK
First of all I'd like to say how much I
love your mag. I read it every month
cover to cover, loving every word. This
letter goes out to anyone who has ever
gotten injured doing what they love. I
started skating about a year ago when
my friends got me into it. We skated
everyday in front of our houses with the
basics: ollies, shuvits, and even some old
school tricks. My friends were surprised
at how much better I got so fast. One day
I tried to do some sick stuff off of high
ledges, which at the time seemed like the
right thing to do even though I wasn't
ready. I started to ollie off roofs until one
day I went too high. I tried to make it off
this 6 foot roof and I came down really
hard and busted my ankle. When we
arrived at the hospital it hurt like hell and
was scared as shit. I was told that they
were going to bring in a specialist for my
injury. When he arrived he told me I split
my growth plate, broke my chicken bone,
and shattered my gliding plate. The bot-
tom line was my foot was going to stop
growing and be indented about 20 to 30
degrees, I also might lose some mobility
and have arthritis later in life. After all
the tears and pain were cleared up they
bought me into surgery, which lasted.
almost six hours. When I woke up I had
a cast on of course, a screw to hold some
