I first want to compliment you on
your great magazine. Second, I want to
say a little something about your inter-
view with Jeremy Klein in the 1999
January issue. He is an asshole! He was
being a dick to the interviewer the
whole time. What the hell is that bas-
tard's problem? He's a spoiled little bas-
tard and a disgrace to skateboarding.
Plus, you could tell that Nintendo was
paying that prick to advertise its
upcoming products and to say stuff
like, "If I got a job at Nintendo, that
would be the best day of my life."
What a sellout. You can also
tell that he's in it only for the
money. You're supposed to
skate for the fun and love of
it, but we have butt smugglers
like Jeremy Klein saying,
"Littering is great, it creates jobs." The
interviews with Cairo Foster and
Giorgio Zattoni were great and so was
the rest of the issue as always, but
Jeremy Klein just sucks. Thrasher, keep
up the good work! Jeremy Klein-YOU
SUCK! EAT A DICK!!

Boy, some people are just stupid. You
know, I wasn't going to say anything,
but then I thought to myself, "If some-
one doesn't tell them, then how will
they know?" And so here I am. Now let
me congratulate the author. of
"Sidewalk Surfing Hits Big Time!" That
article right up my alley; it had sar-
casm, cynicism, and satire. I have yet to
read a funnier article in Thrasher. After
reading it, I thought, "Thrasher sure can
dispense those insults." And that was
the end of that. But I've been proven
wrong. Three completely ignorant peo-
ple, who probably think that in order for
something to be funny it must contain
the words "boner" or "boob," totally
missed the joke. "Totally" is the key
word here, folks. Those two shit-for-

brains named Kyle must really live in
"buttfuck nowhere" if they didn't under-
stand that this article is fictitious. You
two bastards actually believe that there
is a woman named Sharon Needles who
writes for the Wichita Falls Gazette? Is
there a history of inbreeding in your
families, or are you both just two of the
dumbest people in the world? "When
my friend Kyle Whalum read this article,
he almost shit his pants over how
fuckin' stupid she is." Really? I
nearly did the same thing when
I read your letter, and for the
same reasons. Go back to
plowing fields, kids. And of
course there's Gabe Ortega,
who also failed to find the
humor in this masterwork of
satire. He asked why Thrasher
printed "such garbage"; well,
Gabe, while you wer sniffing
glue, the rest of us were skate-
boarding (of course) and expe-
riencing/learning about things that are
funny. Thrasher printed this because it
was a joke, and to put it simply, you and
those two ten-year-olds from fuck-fest-
in-the-chicken-coop Tennessee were
just too damn stupid to get it.

The last issue was especially revealing
in terms of showing the different direc-
tions skateboarding has gone in. It's up
to the reader to pick an affiliation for
himself. But basically, the point of my
letter that Jeremy Klein must be the
dumbest moron to ever have ridden the
plywood beast. I mean, look at the con-
trast between his interview and Cairo
Foster's. Cairo, just as an example, is try-
ing to live his life intelligently, to the best
of his ability, keeping an open mind and
really trying to pick up some knowledge
around his way; at least that was the
impression he made on me. Now look at
that Klein-bitch; everything from his "lit-
tering-to-create-jobs" and "why read a
THRASHER MAG
PO. BOX 884570.
SAN PRAN CA.

book" revelations to just the
whole tone of the interview is
like a really, really, really bad joke.
He can go grind bus stops for as
long as his dinosaur brain'll let
him; his mental skills are weaker
than my two-year-old brother's.
Dude, fuck all the gold chains,
egos and money; fuck all the
