10 THRASHER

crazy biker try his shit. But Evel doesn't
skate (I again site reasons to love skate-
boarding: it's not points and scoring, win-
ning and losing-it's tricks and style).
The previous record was actually bigger
Maybe if you started skating, you wouldn't than the ramp on which it was attained,
have to "handle" so much. T-ed
FASHION VICTIM
Here's the scenario: was grazing the
pages of the latest Thrasher, in much the
same fashion as a llama would a Peruvian
dope farmer's crop, with a glazed expres-
sion in my eyes and a crooked smile of
contentment on my lips. Suddenly this
ecstasy of reading pleasure reached an
almost orgasmic state with the viewing of
Bob Burnquist getting some fat air on
vert, when all of a sudden my trip of
enjoyment took a wrong turn and I ended
up smack-dab in the middle of hell itself.
Before me stood the most horrible thing
any skater could ever see: a two page
JNCO ad. With my trip thoroughly ruined,
I could only quiver at the thought of some
gangbangin' fag somewhere out there
wearing the exact same pants. Much in
the same way that one would try to rid
himself of waste after consuming a
school lunch of tuna casserole, I bound-
ed for the toilet and thoroughly
exhumed the contents of my stomach
using my middle finger to push the but-
ton. Feeling slightly better but still quite
shaken, I went to my local skatepark to
try to revive my spirits, but it was to no
avail. I am now in a support group for
people just like me, and someday I will
get better, because I am a winner. I am at
winner. I am a winner...

JUST DON'T
I figured if Consolidated can change
Nike in three little ads, maybe I can
change the whole goddamn industry (and
I mean that about damning God...he
sucks) with one letter. You see, I'm mad as
heck that we're all gonna take it some
more up the butt (like Ed Templeton
does). It has come to my attention that a
hefty amount of the people making
money off our lovely, cuddly, wheely
wood don't even ride! (Yeah, I know, wel-
come to world, right?) In fact, there is a
vast plethora of non-skatin' shitheads
speckled throughout the
industry. In short, my theory
is: If you don't ever ride the
skateboards, don't ever
sell/make the skateboards,
'cause you don't understand
the skateboards. And one
last rant, pant, or gasp.
before I'm done. I read in
Transworld that critics of

Evel Knievel didn't let any
correct? The interest should be in get-
ting/seeing the highest possible air, not
in slapping your name on it. I guarantee
it would have been more fun if other
skaters of his level had been there hav-
ing a good time, helping to push each
other higher. In closing. I would like to
call for all skaters to band together and
kill everyone.

SOMETHING TO CHEW
I'm pissed! Matt Gonzales is at it again!
OK-this guy annoys me so stinkin' much!
All he does is spout useless crap about all
chicks who sk8 being posers and stuff like
that. True I might not
be the best sk8er in the
world, but it's all about
havin' fun-you said it
yourself. You think I
belong in the kitchen,
eh? You won't after you
taste my cooking. And
what's all this about
cavemen beating their wives? Hey
stoopid! You're gonna make some broad
very miserable! No chick in her right mind
is ever gonna hook-up with you! I do
agree with you about 1 thing though.
Sk8ing is not about being cool or being a
better person, it's all about having a good.
time, doing your own thing, and not caring
what n-e-1 else thinks. So what if your
bratty sister is a poser? Shut your big yap
and leave her alone!! She's only embar-
rassing herself! I leave you with this
thought-BITE ME!!!

BRA BURNER
Your "Gimme a Bullet" by Matt
Gonzales (August '98) was really sexist.
Girls have every right to skate, and some
girls are even better skaters than some
guys. There's no such thing as a girl
skater? Matt can kiss my ass and I hope
