his sister becomes a skate goddess! Hey!
Matt! How about I club your ass, drag you
home, and force you to cook? Oh, and
good luck trying to find a girlfriend now,
because after the article you just had pub-
lished, I would be surprised if any self-
respecting girl would go out with you after
they found out your point of view. If you
really weren't jealous of your sister, you
wouldn't be bitching about her so much. I
bet you suck compared to her! So you can
suck my tit and fucking like it! Besides,
Matt, a bunch of 'poser' girls who started
skating just to make you feel jealous could
never pass up your two years of skating
ability. And, you better tell your poser-ass
sister that skating is for fun and it's not
about proving someone wrong or making
them feel stupid or whatever the hell she's
trying to do. So just forget about your
poser sister and her poser friends and
keep on skating for all the right reasons
while she's doing it for all the wrong rea-
sons and you'll turn out a hell of a lot bet-
ter than she will!
Sincerely.

IT MATTERS
People constantly say skateboarding
is progressing and progressing, but at
what cost? Progressing how? It seems
like every time you turn around you.
read or hear about team change or
you see a pro riding or wearing their
competitor's stuff. Come on, pros! Get
your acts together. That's unprofession-
al! Companies are paying you to pro-
mote their stuff, so do it. You never see
Michael Jordan wearing something
other than Nikes.
I like to see all types of skateboard-
ing. However, it is kind of a downer
when I see an ad with another wally or
wallride in it. I know they're fun and all,
but get with the program. It looks kind
of stupid after a while. Lay that trick to
rest and learn something new for a
change. Show those skills you have
been afraid to show.

AUSTRICIZED
I've just read another snotty jackass
answer to a kid's letter asking about skat-
ing basics. Maybe if the folks over
Transsexual Skateboarding would spend
more time skating and less time inter-
viewing NAMBLA members, they would-
n't develop these attitudes. You're not
going to promote the sport by being an
asshole. Here's a few things that really
helped me when I started and wished
someone had showed me or told me:
Look at the board! Try to see it as anoth-
er limb you grew out of that urban sur-
vival mutation thing, not something
you're standing on. To ollie, I put my back
foot over the rear pair of truck bolts, so
it's almost directly over the rear wheels.
The out-on-the-tail method usually sug-
gested in books and magazines never
really worked for me. Try to focus men-
tally on sucking the board up with you as
you ollie; use the Power of Chin or some-
thing. Don't just put everything into ram-
ming that tail into the tarmac (oops! does-
n't Rollerblade own that word now?). If
you have a tendency to jump back (tail-
wards) like I did, practice till you bleed,
because things get ugly when your board
ollies but you go backwards into a car. As
part II of my ramblings, there seems to be
some concern that skateboarding will be
in the Olympics and Kathie Lee is going to
make a "Skate Your Way to Firm Thighs"
exercise video. A snowboard job, so to
speak. I really don't think such fears are
warranted. Skateboarding is far too diffi-
cult at even a basic level and the learning
curve way too steep for Biff and Trixi of
(insert name of your local tennis court.
here) fame. Rollerblading is probably
about the limit of their guts and equilibri-
um. Just think of how popular that stuff
would be if you could do it on grass! We
don't even need the X Games; they're
kind of a cool diversion from the regular
diet of foot-, base-, or basketball (or soc-
cer and skiing in Europe), but skating
needs things like the Savannah Slamma,
Dog Town Last Ditch Wipeout and such.
Don't buy their shoes (which suck any-
way), and Nike will go away.
