one ever truly involved in skate-
boarding, especially the pioneers
who got us where we are now. In
return, we will all keep on innovating
to our fullest and it will just get better
and better, as long as we don't lose.
track of our true
roots. I really enjoyed
the "Frontside Indy"
article, because late-
ly I've been preoc-
cupied with the
leeches all around
us and the suckers
who so easily infiltrate everything
that we've created. All we want is fun
and freedom, but it still hurts to see
these kooks getting something they
don't deserve. But I can respect the
fact that it takes money to keep our
industry in a strong, stable position.
Hopefully all these weak-ass compa-
nies will give up their money and
then go take a poop. It's no different
than flail-blading being put in the
same category as skate-
boarding. I was watching
a National Geographic
program and it was show-
ing these badass lions.
going for their kill. After
they won and were happi-
ly feasting, a huge pack of
hyenas ran up on them
and started poaching off
BOX 9-10
of what the lions so skill-
fully worked for. And
because of the hyenas'
overwhelming numbers,
they ended up making off
with half of the zebra.
Sound familiar? I know it's
a waste of my time even
thinking about these losers, but be-
cause of the love I have for skate-
boarding, I just can't seem to let it go.
But I know we'll prevail, the truth will
be seen, and these rodents will fall off.

Here's a fucking shitty picture of a
shitty ollie over a pussy metal thing
into a driveway for trucks. It sucks
but I don't own a camera so I never
take fucking pictures. I can do bet-

What ever hap-
pened to the good ol' days? Back
when I first started skating, skating
was hated and thankfully it was
underground. Now you can see it
everywhere, be on ESPN or in a
razor commercial. Bastards like Tony
Hawk and his ass pal Andy
Macdonald have been all over TV
saying shit like, "Some like it under-
ground, but we like the money" or
some shit like that. Now we're loved
by public little prep bitch-
es on our balls 24/7, little
fuckin' fat kids who try to
act cool and tell you how
to skate at the park and
little rich momma's boys
who have mommy buy
their skateboard and new
"skater" clothes. What
happened to when DCs
looked more like Air-
walks? What happened to
when you could ask a fel-
low bro for directions and
go skate? Now you can't
tell; you go up to a dude
with a DC shirt and ask,
"Where's the nearest wax-
ed ledge?" and they look at you like
you're a moron. I miss $50 shoes and
$14 shirts. Now it's like $65-$120 for
skate shoes? Are pros really that
greedy? I wish skating would die
again and I hope one day we (the
readers, the ams, and the pros) will
