Crust palace.I've been meaning to write this letter for awhile now. I was looking through some old mags the other day, along with some recent ones and I noticed something consistent with all of the letters that you publish in Mail Drop. They are all from kids just bitching about how pro skaters and the mag have "sold out" I wanted to write to let them know that Thrasher thrasher: see mimic thrush. thrasher Any of 17 species (family Mimidae) of New World songbirds that have a downcurved bill and are noted for noisily foraging on the ground in dense thickets and for loud, varied songs. and the rest of the skaters do not give a crap. Dudes Dudes may refer to:
Informal Contraction of got to: I gotta go home. get paid, don't they? Whether or not it's coming form Nike or Toy Machine Toy Machine, also known as Toy Machine Bloodsucking Skateboard Company, is a skateboarding company started by Ed Templeton in 1993. [1] The Toy Machine brand is housed under the Tum Yeto distribution company. , who cares? This guy Marion wrote in the September 2003 issue that he thinks it's completely unnecessary for skaters to be sponsored by large corporations like soda companies or cell phones companies. So what? A skater can't drink soda now or have a cell phone? So it's OK for the other pro athletes to endorse products that deal with something other than their sport, but as soon as a skater does it he's "selling out?" Skateboarding skateboarding Form of recreation, popular among youths, in which a person rides standing balanced on a small board mounted on wheels. The skateboard first appeared in the early 1960s on paved areas along California beaches as a makeshift diversion for surfers when the ocean is a business now and we gotta get paid just like anybody else. If Coke wants to pay me to endorse their soda that I drink anyway to begin with; well, then, you can add one plus one equals two. Nobody starts skating because they want to live in their mom's basement for the rest of their lives. So I've said my piece, and as for Thrasher and the rest of the people in the world who actually have to pay bills, go ahead and do what you gotta do to get that paper. Mike P Pennsylvania Me first.--T-ed |
