What's going on here? Phil Shao,
Mike Cardona, Ruben Orkin, and
now Tim Brauch? Fuck, man, that's
ridiculous. I'm just sitting thinking
about how weird it is that these
four aren't in existence now. It
sure made me appreciate my
skateboard more. When I'm
skating with my friends I look
around and go, "Fuck, dude, this is
nice." Take a good, long, hard look at
yourself and appreciate what you
have, because it could be gone just
as fast. The skate world sure will be
missing you, Tim.

Before I fuck shit up, let me
say skateboarding is why
I'm the person I am today.
Fuck jocks. I'm glad I'm me. Thrasher
was my friend in school suspension
all those high school years. Wacking
off and Plan B's Secondhand Smoke
got me through six months of skate-
boarding hibernation a couple years
ago with severed tendons in my
ankle. But what I'm considering is
what happened to all the great self-
critical sarcasm? Where did the
fuckin' 'Skateboarding Sucks' shirts
go? What's this 'Skateboarding
is not a crime' crap? I'm a
skateboarding criminal and
loving it. Skateboarding
sucks; it just broke my ankle
again and there's gravel in my
ass. Skaters are too uptight now.
Loosen up, fuckers. Oh yeah, just to
make sure I make it into Mail Drop,
T-ed, here are my Mail Drop clichés:
all skate shoes look like basketball
shoes, Simon Woodstock sold out,
um, fuck place a skater's name here.
and your mag rips. Fuckers.

HILL SLIDE
One day I was reading the March
'99 issue and I came across the ar-
ticle "To Hill and Back" by Frankie
Hill. It looked interesting, so I fig-
ured I'd give my reading skills a lit-
tle workout. I started to read, and
about halfway through the
article I got fuckin' pissed
off (page 77, the first full
paragraph, to be exact).
Well, anyway, here's a big
FUCK YOU FRANKIE
HILL from me and anyone
else who skateboards. Man,
what's the fuckin' deal? The
only reason skaters get
kicked out of skate spots is
because the places we
skate are afraid we're
going to sue them if
we get hurt. You're
a bitch-ass pussy. Fuck you,
bitch, if you fuckin' hurt.
yourself it's your fault, so
don't fuckin' sue the people who
own the property. They didn't make
your dumb ass ollie over that fuckin'
wall at UCSB, so why the fuck did
you have to sue 'em? suing the
place where you hurt yourself skat-
ing, you make it harder for every
other skateboarder in the fuckin'
world to find a dope spot to skate.
This is just a big fuck you to anyone
who ever sued someone because
they got hurt while skating on
someone else's property.
