Thrasher back issues from March 2005:
More man.(Mail Drop)(Letter to the Editor)
Mar 01, 2005; P., Shane ... I am setting up a boycott of Zero. Purely just for the fact that in your KOTR issue of Thrasher that shit bag, luck head Joey Shitgeo said that the only good thing about SLC is Tully. Don't get me wrong, Tully is a good kid, but there is plenty good in this town. To start, SLC is home to ...
Rodney Gonzales.(Mail Drop)(Letter to the Editor)
Mar 01, 2005; Powell, Ben ... I am trying to break the record for doing the world's longest one-footed manual, but I hit a snag. I cannot find anything about how far or long it is. I didn't know who I could ask to get this info so I am asking anyone I ...
Jake Sux.(Mail Drop)(Letter to the Editor)
Mar 01, 2005; Warren, Rachel ... At my suggestion, my 78-year-old mother has given my son a Thrasher subscription as a Christmas gift for the past several years. I always love to support the wonderful mix of kids who skate in our community. I'm impressed with their athleticism and talent, and especially with the way they ...
Purdy funny.(Mail Drop)(Letter to the Editor)
Mar 01, 2005; Purdy, Clayton ... I live in a very small town in Ohio named Findlay. I am 25 and have been skating since I was about eight. Us skaters have never had anything like a skateshop to hang out in or a park to skate at. Two years ago the city put a skatepark in. If you are lucky you can skate there; it's just an ...
Hubba hubba.(Mail Drop)(Letter to the Editor)
Mar 01, 2005; Anderson, Andy ... I was going to order your mag because I have heard really good things about it. But given the picture on the website of two girls making out with tongue action, there is just no way I want ...

My top t-shirt 'heavy rotators'.
Mar 01, 2005; Sieben, Michael ... I PROBABLY OWN OVER 200 T-SHIRTS. No shit. I just keep collecting them and collecting them and I can't bring myself to throw any of them away. You'd think that if you had over 200 t-shirts that you'd only have to wear each one twice a year. But it doesn't work out like that. Most of the ...
xUltramilitancex #5, and Veganarchist Cookbook #1.(Zine Thing)
Mar 01, 2005 ... Okay, first I get the Tough Guy Times, and then these come in the mail. Dunno what it is, if it's straight edge week or what. I got nothing against it, I'm all for it, it's just not for me. xUltramilitancex is animal liberation, anarcho-smash-the-state stuff, with reports on Animal ...
Maine-iacs.(Zine Thing)
Mar 01, 2005 ... This is another in the pile of kill mags for this month and its subtitle ("A Savage Journey Into the Heart of the American Dream") is apt. A crew of guys in Maine who call themselves the Gnargoyles get together and throw an annual shindig, and shit gets out ...
Wasted days European vacation.(Zine Thing)
Mar 01, 2005 ... This is a full sized 36-page European skate trip rehash, and it's kill. A couple guys from Philly opt for a three-week skate trip through the old country, skating legendary spots (Livingston, Meanwhile, Marseilles) and some newer but destined to be legendary spots (Bilbao and Brixlegg, ...
Fuck Off 'zine #11, Triple S #18, For Fun 'zine #5, and Amish #1.(Zine Thing)
Mar 01, 2005 ... Awright, since I am lumping things together, here is the Colorado contingent for this month. Colorado must be Colo-Romulan because I get stuff from there all the time, and I know they have some kill parks up there too. Fuck Off 'zine is always a good one, this one being in color and is ...
Project glow-rod la-la land.
Mar 01, 2005; Freitas, Nik ... RUNNING WIRE IN A HOUSE can be an electrician's worst nightmare. To most of us it seems quite simple that your light turns on in your room when you flick a switch, or a stereo plays music after you plug it into a socket in the wall. But guiding those wires to each switch was most likely a ...
Skaters eye: Matt Price.
Mar 01, 2005; Bender, Lee ... HUNDRED-PERCENT SKATEBOARDER. Flip tricks, photos and slip-ons, Matt Price is classic, an Arizona Wedge park loc since day one.

In search of tunnelitis: entrada solo a personal autorizado.
Mar 01, 2005; Alba, Steve ... DOWN BELOW the equator, near the Tropic of Cancer, stories of lost gold have brought many from far away. But my quest was not gold, rather one of cement cylinders. Spillways of morning glory madness, to be exact. On the Pacific side of Central America the rainforests are ...
A South American adventure.
Mar 01, 2005; Burnett, Michael ... THOUGH SIGNIFICANTLY MORE signage in the customs area was dedicated to the illicit importation of Play Stations, it seems Peruvian law also only allows visitors to bring in one video camera and one film camera per person. I had four cameras with me, and filmer Joe K had about 11. Our only ...
All you see is ...: crime in the city.
Mar 01, 2005; Di Guido, Thizzelli ... THE CITY OF CHEYENNE is a far cry from a thriving metropolitan center. Then again, there isn't exactly a comparable locale within a couple hundred miles of the Wyoming capital. The last time I saw that many cowboys on Broadway, I was watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Action in ...

Isis.
Mar 01, 2005; Locks, Jesse ... WHAT'S MOST COMPELLING about the Boston quintet Isis is how they approach their music. Like a painter, architect or writer creating a piece of work that only answers to the artist and to the test of time, their songs are carefully, if not painstaking constructed and thought out with ...
French kicks.
Mar 01, 2005; Whiteley, Dan ... It's pretty rare that a promo CD in my mailbox is going to be worth a listen. It's even rarer that some random publicist will convince me that I'm going to love it enough to write a "perfect piece on hot up-and-coming bands." Well, much to my surprise, this actually happened with the ...
Beep beep.
Mar 01, 2005; Gay, Kaleb ... NO MATTER WHAT that storm watcher chap at the KETV-7 news desk relays, you really never know what may come falling out of that Omaha, Nebraska land nowadays.

Almighty do me a favor.
Mar 01, 2005; Taylor, Todd ... ONE-MAN BAND, BROKEN ROCK AND ROLL. It's one of music's primeval equations that don't suck. Take a dude and an acoustic guitar, and in the wrong hands, you've got shitty, coffeehouse man, pussy blah. But in gnarled hands, sung through a twisted throat with all limbs flappin' and rattlin' ...
The used.
Mar 01, 2005; Stain ... WHAT DO YOU GET when you cross guttural screaming vocals fused with melodically mesmerizing riffs, blended with assaults, arrests, and addiction to drugs?

Reigning Sound.(Notes From The Underground)
Mar 01, 2005; Lundry, Wez ... And sheeee-it! Can Reigning Sound get any better with time? Their new LP Too Much Guitar on In The Red is a scorcher as well, all dirty soul and Tennessee stomp. They just might have an actual hit with the song "Funny Thing" if all was right ...
