ozone levels, which would slowly and
painfully kill us off? Or maybe even an
asteroid crashing into Earth leaving the
survivors, if any, stranded with no
technology or water and little food?
People worry about none of these
things. The only one who gets hurt
from skateboarding is the skater. That
doesn't sound like something I would
be worrying about. Yet we have proof.
People think about stopping skate-
boarding by putting up skate stoppers,
poles, or wedges into anything that
they see a skater next to. I don't
see people trying to clean our
environment. I see people
riding and operating pol-
luting machines and throw-
ing trash in the streets, parks,
and even schools when no one
is watching. I don't see peo-
ple building bomb shelters
or underground facilities. I
see people building the
biggest and best weapons to
over power the bigger and better
ones. How is that going to help? It just
wastes money. If these people want a
war, then we're going to give them a
war! And if we win, then their worries
will just be starting! And if they win,
we'll be back, because we'll never give
up! Skate and Destroy.

I am writing you in response to your
article on Dead Prez. I'm 25, and have
been skating and reading Thrasher
since 1987. I think Thrasher is about
the only mag that has always remained
true and is worth reading, but I must

say, the Dead Prez piece was very un-
Thrasher-like. Dead Prez are spreading
anger and hate with mis-information. I
don't want to go too deep into this by
combating every piece of propaganda
that they speak because it would only
make me sound racist, which I'm not.
I only wish for Thrasher to keep
thrashing and keep all the racist hate
and disunity out. I just hope that the
readers didn't take what they had to say
too seriously, even if the person inter-
viewing them seemed to provoke
some of it. Just keep it real
and skate hard, retard.

Mags often provoke. T-ed.
FOR EVER
This is a little reminder to
all the posers out there: You
still suck. No matter how
many boards your mommy and
daddy buy you, no matter how
cool you think you are because you
wear Junco jeans and Shorty's "gear", or
whether or not you skate because you
saw it on a new Limp Bizkit video, you
still and always will suck.
Skateboarding isn't an "X-treme sport"
or a means to boost your popularity-
no one understands it. Posers don't.
understand it, jocks don't understand
it, and cops surely don't understand it.
I feel it is an underground language
that is only spoken by the ones who
have the desire and dedication to learn.
It isn't something you just "do," it's
something you're born with and die
with. Skateboarding isn't something
that can be "bought" or "tried" just to
make you "cool." If you really don't
understand my philosophy, you're
