I'm the S M double OTY I like to bomb

Any bladers around should just pass on by,
You're mad and ask why? Guaranteed to
die if you try.
But back on the subject at hand, allow me
to expand, this lyrical telegram.
Il rain on your parade with the force of
El Niño,
Strike you like lightning, eat you like a Ho-Ho,
Don't even try and calculate the way it's done,

Dear Thrasher, AWFUL TRUTHS
I am writing this letter in honor of one of the greatest human beings I
have ever had the privilege of knowing. His name was Dane M. Rempfer.
He was a true friend to everyone that knew him and his death has changed.
the lives of each and everyone of them. On November 7th at about 12:15am,
Dane and a few friends that were walking down the street, decided to cross.
There was a man driving in the wrong lane, with his headlights out, going
about 85mph that hit Dane and killed him instantly. He then proceeded to
drive away turning this accident into a hit-and-run. The man was drunk.
Dane was 15 years old and had just began to live his life. He was a
skateboarder and a friend, and if not for him I probably wouldn't be skating.
I owe many fun times and many laughs to Dane and hope that he will never
be forgotten. And before you go to that party downtown tonight, think about
how you'll be getting home and don't drink that one last drink.
This is a copy of the news article. It shows just how much the press
cares. Pretty big article huh?

And if I see you with some blades you best be ready to run.
Stay within your own area or things will get much scarier,
Try to fuck with me and for sure kid I'll bury ya.
If you're down for skateboarding let me hear you scream and holler,
I gotta degree for writing rhymes you're the student I'm the scholar.
I'm just about to grind so better stand clear,
My board will hit you like a hearing aid and open up your ear.
Catch me in the sack with your unhappy spouse,
I'll eat you bladers like Tom I'm the cat and you're the mouse.
I'm waitin' on this chick to call but damn dude she's late.
With no girls around better believe we're gonna skate.
Rollerblading's weak, the tricks fucking blow,
You'll never experience a frontside flip just
wanted you to know.
I'm not a fan of war, don't even like to fight,
But I don't care it be cool as hell to blow up all
the bladers in sight.
I'm just about done but for you it's only started.
Put your ass down like syndrome and then
you'll be retarded!

NOW THEY KNOW
Skateboarders: Switch
Children on skateboards are much more likely than those
on inline skates or roller skates to have serious injuries, par
ticularly head injuries, a new study has found.
A research team evaluated data on 598 skating injuries
requiring hospitalization in children 5 to 19. More than 16
percent of skateboarders' injuries were severe or critical,
compared with about 7 percent among inline skaters and 2
percent in roller skaters. Head injuries made up 51 percent
of the serious cases among skateboarders, 34 percent
among inline skaters and 19 percent among roller skaters.
Based on the results, the authors recommend trying to
persuade skateboarders to take up inline skating or roller
skating instead.
