Mail drop.(Letter to the Editor)
Jun 01, 2003 ... WEED IT The first day you touched wood and stopped being just a pedestrian was the day you got your new set of eyes. Not content to just breathe air and wait for a slow death, you saw outside the rigid confines of the footpath and made it come alive. Your flowing, speeding ...
Bored, #2. (Zine Thing).(Brief Article)
Jun 01, 2003 ... This one says Thrasher on the cover, and In and behold, it's got my review of the first issue a couple months back. And then his response to my review (he was stoked!).

Jun 01, 2003 ... Whoa, some pop culture deconstruction ... This one is kinda out there, in a good way (what is it with those Dutch anyway? Just what do they sell in those cafes over there?). It's got some skating in it, but not too much, but some ...

Emerica world tour.
Jun 01, 2003; O'dell, Patrick ... THIS IS A NEW KIND OF TOUR, the World Premier tour. This is less productive than the demo tour and a million times less productive skateboarding-wise than the filming tour--this is a party tour, really. That's why most of the accompanying photos are from Los Angeles. I mean, what do you ...

Jun 01, 2003; Hammake, Joe ... Wanted dead or alive It happens a lot in baseball--players get traded, and teams are bought and sold. In the world of skateboarding that's not very common.

Jun 01, 2003; Burnett, Michael ... So what's been up with James Craig? Just trying to skate man, taking it back to the old stuff, like when I was a kid. How so? Just trying to have more fun with skateboarding. Skating's too serious; all these kids are looking past the fun factor. You gotta ...
Matt Dove: "big stuff is good". (Heads).(Interview)
Jun 01, 2003; Hammeke, Joe ... What's your first memory of skateboarding? I remember always having a skateboard around the house.

Brian Sumner: "I like doing screwed up stuff". (Heads).(skateboarder)(Interview)
Jun 01, 2003; Pommier, Scott ... Did you prepare a response for the Ice question? Not really, I just knew it would come up. They called Birdhouse trying to get someone to try out their product.

Skate for money, die for fame.(Brief Article)
Jun 01, 2003; Dollin, Dustin ... PROBLEM SOLVING All the photos in this article happened on the first day, then no one even talked about skating for the rest of the trip.

Mike Hastie Canadian.(Interview)

BMX: "keep it in the dirt".(Industry Overview)
Jun 01, 2003 ... BMX. You don't need to say much more than that. Those three letters are the unholy trinity that will set off a round of grumbling among skaters and conjure images of dented coping and chunked cement. And, of course, let's not forget the real kicker: cranium-crushing, rib-rattling, ...
Buju banton.(Interview)
Jun 01, 2003 ... I BOUNCED OUT OF THE CRIB to go meet Buju and Shelblack at Le Parc Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Cephalic carnage.(Interview)
Jun 01, 2003 ... THERE ARE FEW death/grind bands out there that think outside their musical boundaries. That's why it's hard to call Cephalic Carnage a death/grind band. They defy the genre musically and ideologically, touching on topics such as the Roman Empire, the 9/11 tragedy, aliens and weed, while ...
Dark castle: looking to loot OZZY's house.(Industry Overview)
Jun 01, 2003; Velasco, Alan ... IN 1983 you could count on two things when you got back to school: hot sluts wearing Dolphin shorts without underwear and all us metal kids writing "OZZY" on our knuckles before the flag salute. Rumor was if you wrote it everyday in the same place on your hand it would eventually become a ...
Her Flyaway Manner.(Interview)
Jun 01, 2003 ... IT'S NOT OFTEN that bands formed in high school last long enough to tour outside of their neighboring states. Her Flyaway Manner formed in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1996.

Jun 01, 2003; Clemens, Stan ... Sam Beam (aka Iron and Wine)--the good Southern gent who bestowed upon folks a group of banjy-picked and geetar-strummed ballads about the devil and the Jesus and the last dead snake in the creekbed--showed up at the Bottom of the Hill last month to pull some solo renditions off his Sub ...
Trash.
Jun 01, 2003 ... EARLY TIMES AS BOMBS FELL ON BAGHDAD, THE NEW WORLD TM DROPPED a biggie on Chad Fernandez, booting him from the team. The axe swung wide, apparently, and photog Seu Trinh got chopped too. Good luck, dudes. After placing well in contests for the last few years, super kid Ryan ...
