To Gabe Ortega and Kyles Steed and
Whalum: As a newspaper journalist, I am
a huge proponent of free speech; howev-
er, I draw the line when it comes to the
type of filth-riddled rants you boys sub-
mitted in response to my informative
article on the X-Games extreme sports
tournament. Do you kiss your grand-
mothers with those mouths? Your
attempts at an editorial retort were as
vulgar as they were grammatically
flawed "piece-of-shit" should be hype-
nated when used as an adjective, Gabe.
I'll put it in the kind of language you
skateboarders can understand. "Totally
bogus, dudes!" However, as Jesus Christ
points out, we should love the sinner and
hate the sin, and although I might find it
difficult to love you, Kyle, Kyle, and Gabe,
I'll say that I am concerned for you and
the unsavory lifestyles you must certain-
ly lead. Therefore, through a friend of my
husband's, Ed, I have arranged for a rep-
resentative from the United States
Marine Corps to make a personal visit to
your homes Organ, NM and Nashville,
TN respectively, as well as a layperson
from your area's branches of the Church
of Christ. Listen seriously to what these
men have to say, boys. They are not
"wack" or "yama-jama." Rather, they can
help illustrate a way out of the empty
lives you are engaged in. Some serious
discipline and study of the scripture, and
perhaps even you, Gabe, Kyle, and Kyle,
can rise to respectable place in our
society like your skateboard hero, Arlo
"the Airman" Eisenberg. My prayers are
with you.

Greetings, most honored Thrasher-san.
I am writing to tell you all that you are
the bright spot in a nightmare's life. I
won't whine about being the only
straight white guy in this whole damn
prison; I won't complain about the state
of Florida trying to fry me in that elec-
tric contraption of theirs. I won't snivel
about my brother being jumped by
bitch-ass hillbillies because he's a skater
in a dumpwater hick town. I won't...well,
you get my point. What I will say is that
during a recent car crash, my brother's
skateboard saved his life. My family.
decided it was time to test the airbags in
our new truck, so they hit the largest
pine tree they could find while doing 55.
They overlooked the fact that there is no
passenger-side airbag, and that there are
no seatbelts in the truck. On impact, the
deck wedged in between the roof and
the dash and deflected the projectile
that was my brother. See, skateboarding
saved his life. Now let's see those girly
little rollerbladers do that! Yeah, I
thought so punks! Oh yeah, put my
address in the mag too; I need some bet-
ties to holler at and some hardcore
skaters to ease the paid of needing a
vertical fix. Much love to the Miami
click, Thrasher, punk rock, and dead
rollerbladers. If you rollerblade, write
too; because there are plenty of your
type here. Sissies!
