You have some good statements, but even though every company is taking over skateboarding as we know it, who gives a flaming rat's ass about it? If you skateboard to be an individual instead of trying to be cool, then alright, I understand. But if you're 12 and you say "I'm sick of how skateboarding is becoming," you're stealing your words from the people who made this sport possible. Yes, it's a sport, believe it or not. If you honestly look at yourself from someone else's point of view and look at how long you've been skating, you'll probably figure out that you are the children of the grave (Black Sabbath Black Sabbath are an English heavy metal band from Birmingham. The original band line up of Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Terence "Geezer" Butler (bass), and Bill Ward (drums) is the same as the current line up (2007) although there have been many shifts of personnel ). I started skating with this one old school Nash board I found in the trash. For an entire year I bombed hills. I didn't care about tricks or anything 'cause I was having the time of my life. So every time you think about the next trick you're gonna do on your next sponsor-me video, you'll realize you're not who you say you are. Go bomb a hill and do a boneless Bone´less a. 1.

I went to see what he wanted and it just so happened to be a school sheriff. Just my luck. He ticketed me for trespassing and, well, to make a very long story short, I ended up paying $390 so I would not have to do 20 days in jail. I appealed and ended up with an active sentence. They got my money and they got my time all cause of some guy who totally gets off on telling others what to do couldn't say, "Just leave." I am trying to alert the public to the injustice that is taking place. Who do you tell when it's the government that's done you wrong? The government? I don't think so. I am afraid of the repercussions repercussions npl → répercussions fpl repercussions npl → Auswirkungen pl for standing up for my rights. Tennis courts, basketball, RC cars, bike trails, horseshoes, but no skatepark? Come on, Laws against skateboarding = discrimination no freedom.

I've skated since I was 13 and subscribed to Thrasher for at least two years. Even though I'm not supposed to read magazines, only the Bible and stuff like that, I manage to get a copy every couple of months to tide me over. I just want you to know that I think you should do the article. It would be tight. Tom "Tommy Gun" Krauser rips and it would be nice to see some other Mormon skaters. Well, your mag rocks! I try to get every skater that reads Transworld to switch it up. Let me know what you think and if the "Mormons who Rip" works out. Dan Wolfe Cardston, AB, Canada One skater, seven wives? Sounds rad by me.

The Boss? Mr Reynolds? An imposter! I have it from good Internet authority that Andrew Reynolds is a mutant. He was actually born with hands for feet. Sorry folks, but that's not fucking fair. If Tom Penny had a nickel for every time someone wasn't blown off the Earth by his skating...can we now refer to him as Tommy Six Cent? Why is Ed Templeton so weird? I'm convinced that if I were to have sex with Ed Templeton's wife he would whip out with canvas and brush and create a still life out of it. I've heard of freakazoids, but Mr Ed makes the jockeys do ollie impossibles (little old school reference for the kids)! Rodney versus Daewon? Do we need to do this again or is your head still spinning as well? I've heard of manual stimulation, but this is ridiculous. Wait! Didn't manuals go out in the early '90s? Hmm...

T-ed SHE LIVES I just wanted to give a quick shout out to all of the ladies who are out there ripping right with the dudes. My message is for all of those young Elissas riding out there who are pushing skating to the next level: Don't be intimidated, don't get discouraged, don't fake your photos, and most importantly, don't give up.
