I opened 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 finally realized how much Transworld sucked. I was only 13 back then, and skating was my life. Now I'm 19, and college and work took over. I still skate whenever I can but the dreams of going pro have faded.

You guys are always spotlighting smaller independent 'zines in Lundry's section, showing different up-and-corner's artwork, spreading the word on new bands, or printing poetry You used my buddy Sean's story about the SOTY SOTY Story of the Year (band) SOTY Skater of the Year SOTY Song of the Year SOTY Student of the Year SOTY Sportsman of the Year video premiere. Michael Burnett let me interview him for a project, and then he sent me free gear. Stay cool, and keep running Hubba ads. Justin Troxell Antioch, CA Some people are just cooler than others.--T-ed |
