TEN DOWN
I want to commemorate the tenth
anniversary of the greatest skate video
ever created: Hokus Pokus. I clearly

new millennium.
DIRTY DEEDS

remember the first day it arrived in the Bury it in your backyard today. T-ed
local skate shop. It was a sunny August
morning, and my pops drove my friend
Karl and I to the shop for our monthly
visit. We arrived early and the shop had-
n't opened yet, so we waited outside.
While we peered through the panes of
the door for signs of life, we both noticed
an ad in the window that read: NEW H-
STREET VIDEO OUT NOW. We
both purchased a copy and
returned to my house to pop
that baby in. For over an
hour all you heard out of
my living room was,
you see that?"
"Rewind that," and
"Damn, I can't do any
of these tricks." My
mom thought we were
I like your magazine better than the
others because you're more hessian. I've
been skating for twelve years, and have
seen many fads come and go, but being
hessian never goes out of style. Your
interview with Jamie Thomas was a

watching a porno flick
from the noise level. My par-
வி
ents didn't understand what
this video was doing to us. This video
is
na
s the skate world's equivalent to Citizen
Kane. The excitement level far sur-
passed even the first time I saw Public
Domain. For the past ten years, every
time a new
trick comes out I check
Hokus Pokus to see if it's already been
to see
done. Nine out of ten times it was in
long-awaited one for me. That
guy's nailed tighter than a
pine box. When can we
expect interviews with
Jim Greco? Cardiel?
Scott Bourne? What
about
Erik
Ellington? Is that
guy satanic or what?
How about Natas
Kaupas? I would
especially like
like to see
an interview with
the great Matt
Hensley. Also, is it
my imagination, or
has Mail Drop been
getting shorter and shorter over the
years? And what would it take to be a
member of the BMC?
RUN WAY
there ollie impossibles, big spins, A sex change. T-ed
delayed shove-its, frontside 180° flips-
and I find something new every time I
watch it. Whatever you can dream up,
it's most likely in there, along with tons
of stuff scientists have yet to figure out.
I feel it's every skater's duty to get a
group of your bros together, turn off the
lights, light a candle, slap in Hokus Pokus,
and pay homage to Lord Hensley and

I would like to address an issue that's
been bugging the hell out of me. All
those kids complaining about what peo-
ple are wearing need to up and
start skating. It isn't a fashion show. Who
cares if someone is wearing Droors
pants and a Birdhouse shirt or FUBU
