A skateboarder used to be a unique individual, but now it seems that everyone I meet is the biggest poser in the world. Skateboarding for me always stood for self-expression, individuality, and going against the grain--you know, Mike Vallely Mike Vallely (pronounced Val-ey-lee), a.k.a. Mike V, (born June 29, 1970) is a professional skateboarder who resides in Long Beach, California. He also is the singer in the rock band Revolution Mother. He is on the Element skate team as a pro. 101. Now it's been sold out to the masses by greedy men with dollar signs in their eyes. What the hell is a Nike ad doing in Thrasher mag? I thought that Thrasher was supposed to be the "hardcore skate mag." I know you could be sued for refusing an ad for a reason like that, but hell, I'd rather stick to my morals and philosophy than print an ad from a huge, made-for-jock-wear shittyass company that has kids work long hours in a hot factory for below minimum wage. And what the hell is DC doing with their commercials played on MTV MTV in full Music Television U.S. cable television network, established in 1980 to present videos of musicians and singers performing new rock music. MTV won a wide following among rock-music fans worldwide and greatly affected the popular-music business. ? On flicking MTV! Which brings me to another point: On MTV this poser had a Thrasher sticker and banner in his room. This is just getting ridiculous. You're probably not going to print this because it's long and I kinda dis your mag, so I'm going to leave it at this: Fuck Nike, fuck DC shoes DC Shoes is an American based footwear company in Vista, CA founded in 1993 which specializes in shoes for skateboarding as well as snowboarding boots and outerwear. The company manufactures footwear for all types of extreme sports, including skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX, , flick MTV, and fuck anyone who supports them. Bring skateboarding back to the underground. Keep rolling, Thrasher. Skoatter Gibney Nashville, TN Nike is mainstream? T-ed WHO KILLED VERT I was on your website to check out the results for Slam City Jam-right on. I read everything that went down on street. I wanted to read about the vert and all you wrote is "For those who care, Bucky Lasek Charles Michael 'Bucky' Lasek (born December 3, 1972 in Dundalk, Maryland) is a professional skateboarder. Lasek started skateboarding at the age of twelve, shortly after his bike was stolen. won vert." Yeah I care! I want those details. Bucky's so rad. So are many of the vert dogs. What? You have no love for the whole of skateboarding? What an insult to Bucky and the rest of the skaters out there. As a lover of skateboarding and your mag, I was truly disappointed. I thought skateboarding was against prejudice and for the freedom of self-expression. It's your job to keep us informed on all aspects of skate. I know that vert has mellowed out a bit. How are we as a public of skateboarders going to keep vert alive when you are dissing the vert people that help keep your mag going? Street is dope. It will always be, but vert is just as cool. Keep us kids aspiring to be vert dogs or street dogs Street Dogs are a punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Among its ranks are Mike McColgan, former lead singer of The Dropkick Murphys, Johnny Rioux, Marcus Hollar, Tobe Bean III and Joe Sirois, former drummer for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. or better yet, both! Support the cause. Don't hate. If you start picking and choosing how can you stay true? Nate Gold Encinitas, CA PARTY FAVORS I just wanted to say that Thrasher is one of the reasons I love skateboarding. Alter reading every issue I go out and skate. Every article and ad stays true to skateboarding, and that's what I like "That's What I Like" was a popular single by Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers. Father and son team Andy and John Pickles repeated the formula which had took their record Swing The Mood to number one a few months previously. . I'd also like to say that the Skater of the Year party was pretty great too. The bands that layed were sick, and it was cool to just walk around and mingle with the other skaters with the smell of grass in the air. What more could a guy want? You give me and everyone else who reads your magazine inspiration and I thank you for that. Live to skate, rock on... Zach Neeb Los Banos Los Banos could refer to:

Second Tim, all skaters hate cops. They are always messing shit up. They tell us not to skate in awesome places. They take away our boards at school (for those of us whom are still in school). Oh yeah, while I'm on the subject, my school banned skateboards and skating at school. That pissed me off! My school has all of these awesome pipes and benches everywhere! OK, back to that poser Tim. Stop quoting God and the Bible. Some people like myself are Pagan and don't want to hear it. Another thing, if people want to judge us for beating up 'bladers, who cares? Leave it be. Tony Hawk

Anyway, I don't contribute to sk8ing anymore except with my Thrasher subscription. I'm currently locked down, doing a couple life sentences inside of a maximum security prison. I have not skated for about three years due to my predicament here. I'd like to say what's up to all of the sk8ers everywhere, especially in Sacramento! I love all of you guys at Thrasher, and Carrie, I think I speak for everyone when I say you are one gorgeous babe! I love you!

My name is Thomas Schmidt, but to many of the unsavory variety of American retards, I am known as Earl Parker as well, though lately I've been writing under a fictional character's name as Steve Sleave sleave n. Archaic A fine thread or skein of thread. [From Middle English *sleven, to disentangle, from Old English *sl . I used to love to skateboard before I changed into a pro writer. You should know straight out that you will never compare to my level, as I can write circles around anyone. Myself and Jeff Tremaine started Big Brother in '92 out of a skatepark. I had to deal with a lot of dickheads. You're lucky you weren't there. In order to get the mag going we had to work ourselves into pestle pestle /pes·tle/ (pes´'l) an implement for pounding drugs in a mortar. pes·tle n.

Our time did prove to help launch a funny little mag inspired by the 'zine age I was part of. But now, unfortunately, there are not really any good magazines left beside Thrasher and Vice. Big Brother, as outside editors in California claim, is a second rate imitation of what it used to be. Though I am friends with the staff, I have always loathed them as making me out to be a character. Why would I want to write full time for such a thing? Seems I would be putting a rock in a hole, wouldn't it? Jake here at the mag is right about me--I did drive myself nuts with the level I was working at for the amount of pay received. The result of "doing something" rather than going to college and driving Daddy's car out west was the creation of a monster that I regret. I apologize to ev eryone concerning the ridicule aspect of the stupid creation. The writing I was doing was at a high level of comedy, and I never intended for it to become a way for future staff members to target who they will. My jabs were art, not broken-down literature that nobody really thinks is cool besides Jeremy Jimbob from Texas Buttfuck. I still remain good friends with Tremaine. I think his lack of tendency to write short stories kept him interested a lot longer. Though I still enjoy submitting to that mag rather than Sports Illustrated, I do not savor all the flim flam that surrounds it in mass amounts. Why don't some of you idiots start writing and then come and talk to me about "Earl's career." I love my friends, but all you drug-using degenerate imbeciles out there can go deep into hell. You will never be part of anything big, and I don't have an ounce of respect for your worthless "skate industry" ridicule. Skateboarding is supposed to be positive; let's try to keep it that way. You are really interfering with my shit, you lazy assholes. The guy-that-used-to-write-for-Big-Brother is hoping he will one day see your story in Thrasher or Playboy, but until then you've got a lot of work to do. I would hope that you don't accidentally end up as the Mark Twain of the amazing magazine world. Thomas Schmidt Los Angeles, CA Who reads skatebord (sic) mags? T-ed |
