Hiya.  Actually, I didn't take offense to the term "pagan".  I readily
admitted that much of Christianity (including Christmas trees, Easter
symbols, etc.) have pagan roots.  What I _did_ take offense at was the
use of the word "primitive" to describe people from Appalachia.  As far
as "paganism", I simply disagreed with the original posters assessment
of how paganism related to Appalachian religions vs. other Christian
religions in the U.S.

Rave music over here in Britain is slowing down alot and quite a few skaters go to
them.

But just as a bad example of a skater at a rave, this guy I know called Ronnie, took
a pile of drugs, went to a rave, came back to my flat, pissed himself, tried to have
a wank, walked about saying 'Trip Mario' over and over again and ate some soap.

The message is skating,drugs and raving don't mix. Or maybe it's just the drugs.

me that it's being showed on MTV, wouldn't have thought Ian would have
let that happen, considering he's refused to do interviews with them,

Well, I just went to a nearby parking lot last night, used my old board as a  
snow shovel, cleared all the ice and shit away from some curbs, and  
discovered that slush is an effective lubricating agent for slides.  'Course  
I destroyed my deck with mud and probably just sent a set of bearings to  
bearing heaven.  BTW you can do some pretty weird tricks accidentally when  
skating over slush patches--like a 270 shove-it to wet ass.

Sure, I go clubbing/raving with (other) skaters all the time!  What's
more skate clothes (whatever that means---maybe oversized, floppy,
comfortable, hard earing) are the best for raving as well as skating.

Don't they play, like, bad music at raves?  What did they play?  Raves sound  
stupid to me--like someone came up with a name for something that people  
already did, namely clubbing all night.

Whatever--people who do nothing but go to clubs need to continually act like  
what they're doing is cool and new when it's been going on for years, kindof  
like some skaters.

to slide different objects, try ollies, grabs and tweaks...be

 mainly just them skating at this cool place in D.C. called Freedom Plaza. One

any favorites for curb lubricants?   Much experimentation has lead me to
the conclusion that candle making/jelly sealing parafin is one of the
slickest.  Or if you just want a temporary slick, try using a bar of Zest.
Soap is one of the slickest substances around, but once it rains it's
gone.  Surf wax is sometimes nice... but parafin is cheaper/lasts longer,
doesn't make everything smell, and is easily accesible at your local
supermarket.

Any others anyone can think of?
