Congratulations on your 20th
Anniversary. Your 240th issue was
superb and had some of the dopest
interviews I've ever read. I'm writing
to try and get my envelope in your
mag, which I think is the greatest
publication of all time (tell me if I'm
wrong T-ed, you sick little wino). I
doubt you'll publish this letter or my
envelope, but be assured that you
have my subscription for a least
the next 20 years (that's $190 bucks.
at the current rate, by the way).
So remember to... OUCH, I just
spilled burning coffee on my groin
gotta go.

young" could kill a man. T-ed.

You guys have the best mag out
there. Screw the posers that say oth-
erwise and screw all the weenies
that say you, T-ed the great one,
should not put comments at the end
of letters. But anyway, where are all
the pictures of the best skater in the
world? No, not Chad Muska. He's
sell out. I'm talkin' about Rodney
Mullen. The man creates the kick-
flip, heelflip, 360 flip, and more, and
you don't put him in the mag?
What's up with that? SHOW ME
THE MULLEN! Oh yeah, and all the
smelly heads (snicker) that think
Chad Muska is the best, you're
wrong. All he does are grinds and
360 flips (that Rodney Mullen
invented). The only reason I "like"
him is because my best friend
does. Watch out Chad, once
he changes his mind, so
will I!

BAD SCENE
THRASHER!
On Friday, February 2, my sister
died in a car wreck. She was only 17.
She would have turned 18 on April 1,
2001. She was a
senior in high
school. I still feel
like I'm in shock.
She went to the
store to get my
dad something
for his coffee
and she didn't
RIP
come home. My Jennifer Burrow
dad went to look
1983-2001
for her. My mom called from her
work and asked if we had found her.
She said "hold on" and went to
answer the work phone. I heard her
scream. I knew what had happened.
Two hours later my dad's friend
brought me to the hospital. I went to
see her; she was really pale. Her ear
was black. She had a lump the size of
my fist on her head. The doctors
said it was really bad and she wasn't
gonna make it. I couldn't believe it.
It felt like a nightmare. She sup-
ported me so much.
I went to where she wrecked and
people put candles and a big cross
and a picture. I can't believe it. The
tree has glass stuck in it. The skid
marks were very long. I hope she
can hear me right now. I want to tell
her I love her and that my whole
family does. We'll miss her so much.

I am a skateboarder, it is what I
do. I am currently in juvenile hall
in San Jose, CA. My mom just
brought me the new issue at
a visit. As I looked through
it, I noticed that in the Baker
ad, it shows a minority smoking
weed. I showed this ad to a friend
and the counselor saw it. Then he
