PRAY PREY
Thank you for printing your recent
article on Jamie Thomas. Please
send him a copy of this note. Jamie,
your recent question/answer spot in
the August issue of Thrasher is a great
inspiration to all young skaters. The
part about having the Lord Jesus
Christ as your savior was encourag-
ing to my 12-year-old son. Without
knowing it, you have
become a role model to
him and kids every-
where. He gave his life.
to the Lord last year. He
loves to skate but found
it hard to be proud of
being a Christian. Since
he looks up to you, and
has all of your videos,
I was a major turning
point in his life to know
that you are Christian too. Thanks
for letting your life serve as a witness
to all. I'm glad to keep buying Zero t-
shirts and your videos, knowing your
background and lifestyle. So many
skaters and skateboard companies
are questionable. Thanks again.

THANK YOU
I've been reading your filthy, stink-
ing, degenerate, ever-unhygienic,
often-over-the-top, nonstop rag of
nonconformist literature for about 14.
years now. Thank you for every last
article that would continue to inspire
me (and countless others corrupted)
to pursue the fun that only seven plys
of glued/pressed wood, two metal
axles, and four urethane wheels can
make. Much appreciation to those
who wrote articles of skating drained
swimming pools, ditches, alien reser-
voirs, and yes, skate-
boarding's tried and
true birthplace, the
street. What all these
various skating terrains
have in common is con-
crete. A city that builds
a concrete skatepark
can ignore its upkeep
forever (as some do),
but as long as it's
designed of well-lay-
ered concrete, it's not unlike
Stonehenge-built to last. The only
thing that could stop their existence
is burial under the dreaded bulldozer
blade. Next time you, your parents,
and fellow skate posse contingent
make a trip to the local town hall
meeting for your city's future.
skatepark, the subject of building
materials will eventually arise. Let
them know the evidence is concrete.
