This letter is in response to Mark
Shafer from Stockton, CA. What the
hell is your problem? You call your-
self a skater? You don't read
Thrasher? You haven't seen anyone
skate a bowl? In case you didn't hear
of one yet, there is something called
a skatepark. They have halfpipes,
quarterpipes, rails, and BOWLS! You
are either a wannabe skater or a
moron, because everyone skates
bowls. And as for being a little
"fresher," I quote the end when I say
"getting dirty is more fun," because
it is. I also quote Thrasher when I say
"Live to skate; skate or die."
Skateboarding is life and so is trying
new things. Do you want to skate
and have fun, or bake cookies with
your mommy?

I'm a 12-year-old skater from
Redwood Shores, CA. I have a prob-
lem. My parents don't really like to
buy me shoes. I just wanted to know
if it could happen if I could get
some shoes. If you guys could get
me some free shoes, that would be
great! If not, I'd understand. These
are the shoes that I'd like to get.
They're shown on page 24 of your
January 2000 issue: The Muska
CM701, size 9 1/2, colors black,
grey, and red. If you can do this,
could you ship the shoes out as soon
as possible?

SAY HAY
My name is "Willie Evans." I've
been skateboarding for three years
and I just accomplished riding a
seven-foot pipe without killing
myself. In Alabama where I live, the
only skatepark around is High
Wheels skatepark in Decatur. It takes
me about 45 minutes to get there. All
my friends and my big brother James
Evans pack up every week and go to
the skatepark every Friday. I pur-
chased a Thrasher magazine and
thought it was the best skateboard-
ing magazine. I bring it to class and
when it gets taken up I will go buy
another. I just wanted to tell y'all that
Thrasher is the best magazine I have
ever read.

I'm sick of Thrasher. You complain
about how society is out to get you-
can't you see why? If you go out get-
ting drunk and breaking stuff and
having no serious side, you are killing
the scene. I used to be 100%
Thrasher, but now I've realized that
Thrasher lies. There are holes within
our society. I know cops aren't
