chicks that are trying to
learn and get laughed at,

It was a beautiful night in
a beautiful part of the
world when I was shown
where I stood in that world.
After busting my arse for
ten hours.
ten
a stinking hot
kitchen I wanted to relax..
On my way home there
was a small set of steps I
liked to ollie off; it just hap-
pened to be opposite a taxi stand. A
friend of mine was there waiting and
timend
watching me have fun. Out of
nowhere an unmarked pork machine
rolled up. A voice yelled, "Come
here!" I was unaware it was pigs so
I laughed as I walked towards the car.
Suddenly, Captain Courageous jumps
out of the shadows and rips the board
(well, he tried) from my hand. When
knew it was pigs I decided to cooper-
ate, but they insisted on being cunts.
They threw me in the car, with CC in
the back facing me and
me and hitting and
kicking and shit. At the station they
chucked me inside, pushed my head
into the floor, then ripped me by the
hair to haul me into a cell. Later I was
charged $100 in court for skating on
the road. The two pigs blatantly lied
te
under oath. The
worst part was see-
ing a dead possum
(like on the stamp
but it's not dead) on
the way home. By
the way, would you
please run the
photo of Iris as
Poser of the
Month? There is no
one more deserving
Bladeboy Iris
this punishment. He is the kind of
guy to show the photo to chicks and
say, "Yeah, that's me rippin' shit up
like the hardcore motherfucker that I
am." Yeah, you know him. If you do
run it, please notify me so I can buy a
few copies and get the page blown up
to poster size.

HOME GROWN
I'm 16 years old and
I live in Grass Valley,
home of Chris Senn,
John Cardiel, Hanzy
Driscoll, and even
some less popular
guys you may know
like Jason Clark,
Tahiti, Emile, Guss,
and Rich Parkhurst.
Anyway,
I'd just like to
thank you for the
steady flow of quality
mags. I've been
sub-
scriber since started
skating about seven
years ago. I've been
skating for a long time relative to
my life and I couldn't imagine life
without the living extension of
myself (my skateboard). I started
with a couple of friends who later
skating to
gave up
to become Gs and
punk rockers. I've witnessed kids
quitting for a lot of reasons:
injuries, drugs, fashion shifts, and
personality changes. I've had my
share of all these, but I stick with it
I stick with it
because I'd be lost without it.
Presently, there's only really one
kid I skate with in the
in the community.
with the exception of a few
younger kids occasionally. Nobody
else really skates anymore. Anyway,
I know that I have some talent and
some
I know it's taken a lot to get where
I am today. My friends tell me
should enter contests and
lost
send my video to compa-
nies. One jackass even
mentioned the X-Games
(what a fuck!). I've been
reluctant to do any of this
because I don't want to be
skating for the wrong rea-
sons. It's always been for
the love and the release,
not for status or popularity
or bullshit bragging rights.
However, lately I seem to be break-
ing boards quicker than I can earn
money for the next one, so I sent
my video. Most of the shit's pretty
old and the editing of the SF parts
suck. I'd be so stoked if you could
take a look at it and maybe show it
to some dudes. Thanks for taking
the time to read this shit.
