How is everything in the world of
skateboard heaven? Good, I hope.
I wrote you guys about two
months ago hoping you would
print my letter. It was very good.
This time I'm sending you a photo-
graph of me as seen through the
lens of my chum Joel Morrison. I
got leg chopped off by train
last October, and to kill time I've
been learning to skate other ways.
Who needs two feet to skate? To
all of you who complain about how
hard skating is, cut off one of your
feet and start over.

In the October '99
issue, some pussy-
assed mofo named
David Marsan of
Greensboro, NC wrote
(and probably lied)
about how he blew smoke into a
cop's face. He was probably think-
ing, "Oh yeah, I skate, I rule.
Rollerbladers suck." Well, just
because you've been skating for
two years doesn't mean you're a
skater. You have to have skill and
not just be doing it for looks or
friends or for the title. You can't just
think you're a hard-ass because
you've got a skate and you smoke,
bitch! It's wannabe skaters like you
who give us good skaters a bad
name. Sure, I've done my share of
dumb shit (got busted two times)
but I did it 'cause I wanted to have

fun. I actually wrote this awaiting
my call from the courts. Remember
these guidelines, all right? 1. Do it
for fun, not the title. 2. Don't get
caught with weed in your locker.
3. Skaters like David Marsan
suck. 4. That T-ed guy is cool;
don't dis him. 5. Nobody likes
sellout companies.

What is the big deal? Who cares if
someone pushes with their front
foot? I push mongo.
People say it's because
"you set up faster" and
"it looks cleaner." Well,
I don't care. People
are stupid! It's
whether you're com-
fortable pushing
mongo or regular.
try to skate regular; I
just suck at it. To the
people at the skateparks making fun
of kids pushing mongo, f*@! off!!
Spend some time skating instead of
talking. Props to Tim Brauch!

CRAP OUT
I'm 24 years old and I live in Reno.
Up until last year we didn't have a
solid skatepark, and I've never really
been allowed to skate any of the
ramps in this town. So I guess you
could call me a street skater. Most
guys my age who skate are really
good, except for me. I didn't skate
