It's interesting how total loser like you ( suposed boarders ) can put up crap like this and be proud of it. I've got one word for you Fags!!!!! you need to get some skills practicing more will get them for you ( or not ) ( pobobly not) ( .....O.K definitly not ) that shity exscuse for home depot dropings put a bad rep on baorder every where
so get a life get a job and get some skills till the start kissin ass at compotition's couse sucking up to juges is the only way you'll ever even place last with those suck ass tricks .
From: a pissed off boarder

As i said before, jack - put your board where your mouth is 'N LET'S SEE WAT YA GOT!! .. you're right - words are cheap ... but they say a pic = 1000 words .. so seems to me you can afford some. We're waitin' dude.........Send 'em in!

Same Awesome pic - but New Letter from Eric!
The base of Kintai Castle in Iwakuni, Japan....Erik Holback
What's up Guys? I just thought I'd write you guys a letter so you can delete that old one you've had for so long. Anyway, the skate seen in Japan has changed, but not much. I did get sponsored, for awhile. It was by Aircraft Skateboards. Unfortunately they went out of business a couple months ago so that fell through. Another cool thing that happened was that Willy Santos, June Kate, and Griffin Collins came to our base for a demo. That was pretty sick. Getting to meet all those guys and skate with them. Anyway, just thought I'd give you some new material to post! Later!   Erik

Yo Eric!! Thanks for the update - always good to hear from you! and MAJOR PROPS to all of the other skaters over there! Later bro..

Skateboardin' ..    -- sup, here's my bio, I don't have any pics of me.
favorite board brand(s): element, black label, and alien workshop
favorite wheels:any
sponsors: none, YET
favorite truck(s): Independent, and grind king
favoite music: Anything that's awesome to skate to
Thing I hate most about skateboarding: prices, and people always getting in my way when I'm going to bust out one of my tricks, and I hate skating, it is too easy, whenever a skater jumps over a little curb, they think they're all that, try jumping over a little curb with a board, a lot harder, therefore, skating is much more of a challenge.
name: Nathan
age: 12
trick list:
nollie, ollie, 180 ollie, 180 pop-shuvit, axle stall, nose stall, 50-50 grind, 5-0 grind, nose grind, crooked grind, manual, nose manual, a couple old school flips and crap, kickflip, heelflip,180 kickflip,boardslide, nose slide, and I made aup my own little trick, it's awesome. I learn new tricks daily, and I'm a quick learner
favorite food: macoroni and tomato juice(sounds nasty, but it's good)
present setup: Peter Smolik Shorty's, China red bonez bearings, jessup griptape, white Santa Cruz "Skateboard ing is not crime" wheels, and Grind Kind Trucks.
Favorite tricks: 50-50's on any smooth ledge.
That's about it, if ya wanna e-mail me, nathanael@1getalife2001.zzn.com. Later.

Hello again!,
Well sorry it has been so long for a response, i just wanted to thank you for the advice......I have still not yet started skateboarding, damnit!...i need some ass whupping to get me on the board...

I'm not all hyped about being the next Chad Muska... i just want to skate, unfortunately i live in a very sexist area....the male race are amazed if you can tell a Ferrari 360 Modena from a Ford Escort or a varial from a stalefish.......
well anyway enough about my life....errrr, so you want to teach me about the board itself now?...what one i should buy? Damage on my bank account? etc, etc.......

Did you know that Brian Patch broke both of Andy Macdonald’s official and unofficial world's records for the distance jump on a skateboard by 2+ feet?
The Guinness Book Of World Records built a ramp that was 48 feet high with the landing ramp about 30 feet away ... letting Patch fly some 58 feet for the record!
       Cool!
