How about some Powell G bones?
They were 64 mm when I got them in 1990, but now they are just about 42mm?

I saw Blockhead's new video, 'Debbie Does Blockhead.'  Pretty perverted,
as far as things go.. but to be expected if you've seen Blockhead's new
line of decks :)  My friend Jeff King is in it, he does lots of huge, fast
gap ollies.. most of it is gapping, not your typical techno-flip movie
(well, there are a lot, but not a tremendous amount as I've come to
expect.)  Basically all it was was huge gap ollies.. come to think of it I
don't really remember many nose-slides (funny.. :)  They did however do a
classic little Terminator 2 spoof.. lots of theatrics. It ended with a 5
minute segment entitled 'Lesbian Barbie Fuck.' I'll let you imagine what
it was.

All in all not a bad movie. See it if you feel like it.

After all the shit you posted on rec.skate, I dont think you have any

Allegheny college is located in Meadville ,PA which is about twenty 
minutes away from Erie. It is a hicktown and is the incest capital of
the nation(or so I've heard from lots of people). The college is not bad  
but
it sucks because I don't have a car this year so I can't go to Erie and

Date: 21 Nov 92 18:58:04 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

Hi, I'm working on a zine with my friend that will focus on skateboarding,
sXe hardcore and whatever else we're into at the moment.  Anyway, we're hoping
to do a "question of the zine" type thing for this issue and we need some 
responses.  If you could take the time to answer some(or all) of these 
questions, we'd appreciate it.  If you'd like, mail the responses with a small
picture of yourself and be immortalised in "Focus Zine."  If you find this 
unappealing (or don't have a stamp handy) just answer via email.  Thanks!

1) What is your name, age and where do you live?

2) How long have you been skating?

3) What do you like to skate (vert, street, mini, big scary steps, kinked
   handrails?)?

4) What's your favorite trick that you can do both ways (regular and switch-
   foot)?

5) In your opinion, who makes quality boards?

6) Do you like super waxed curbs?

7) Do you prefer wood or everslick?

8) If you could skate anywhere in the world, where would you skate?

9) Can pants be too big?  What do you think of the big clothes phenomena?

10) What do you think of plumber's butt (if you have a boy/girl friend, what
    does he/she think of plumber's butt)?

11) If you had a part in a video, what music would you skate to?

12) Do you ever feel like focusing your board?

13) Who do you rate (who's the raddest kid you know)?

14) After a hard day's skate, what do you prefer to reach for, a 40 or a bottle
    of Snapple?

15) Do you have a question for "Ask Someone with glasses?" (this will be the 
    part of our zine where readers submit questions, and we, in our bespecta-
    cled omniscience, will answer them)

16) Has your board ever been run over by a moving vehicle?  If so, describe 
    what happened to it?

17) What's your favorite utensil?

18) What do you think of straight-edge?  Annoying fad, valid lifestyle or 
    "What the hell _is_ straight-edge?"

19) Have you ever told a cop or security guard to "Fuck off?"  If so, describe
    the policeman or security officer's reaction and what transpired.  If not,
    what's holding you back?

And the most important question, if you answer no other, make sure you answer 
this one :

20) WHAT'S YOUR DEFINITION OF FEAR AND WHAT ARE SOME THINGS YOU ARE AFRAID OF?
    AFTER HAVING THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, ARE YOU AFRAID OF DINOSAURS (IF THEY WERE
    ALIVE TODAY, WOULD YOU BE SCARED?)?

Well that's it.  Thanks for your time and remember to send a small picture of 
yourself (or of you performing your favorite trick that you can do both ways).

We have heard interesting things about _WAX_ in Sydney this week. I was 
interested in your cassettes, but wondered what format they are in. Many 
tapes come to us from the US that we cannot run on our TVs. (Aldus 
Intellidraw being the latest example: and them a giant multinational.)

I would be interested in seeing your text file, as would our editor. I am 
the administrator of Christian Arts Resources Australia, which represents 
about 200 members practising or interested in "arts, culture and faith". 
The A, R and A I am sure you will understand easily, but please don't try 
to interpret the C in an American context. I have had several members ring 
me this week and talk about TISEA, so I have been asked to track down more 
information and make more contacts.

Thanks for any information you might care to send.

Yep. J.R. Bob Dobbs. 
I think that's what alt.who.is.bob is meant to be about.
But don't ask me, I'm still pink.

Don't fret it Clint, just because Smooge does it in his game doesn't
mean its going to propigate to anyone elses (his is so far out on the
fringes of the Infiniverse it should be easy to avoid the ripple
effects. 8-)

Besides, will the US actually be willing to use nukes on LA when that
might not be enough?  Are they willing to take the risk of destroying
LA, killing millions of their own people, and then when the mushroom
clouds clear they see the maelstrom bridge battered but intact?  Would
the US truly be willing to risk all-out total warfare with the
tharkoldu, who would most certainly retaliate in like fashion against
the US?  Is the Delphi Council brave enough to risk a Tech 26
OcculTech nuclear device?  (Who cares whether or not the tharkoldu
actually have nuclear bombs or not - the potential that they do should
be enough to remind everyone in the DC of Mutual Assured Destruction.)
