editor's note
"How do I become a better person?"
Reading "The How-To Issue" of Yo Beat is guaranteed to make you run faster, jump higher, snowboard better, and be cooler. It will make your friends jealous and your parents proud. You will no longer be embarrassed to leave your house. You will be the envy of everyone you know, but it probably won't make you a better person.
This issue is devoted to making everyone as cool as we are, teaching you the basics of snowboarding, record shopping, and decorating among other important abilities. What it won't teach you is things like building your own bookshelf and installing a toilet main. After all, we wouldn't want to put Bob Villa out of a job, (you know like we did with everyone who works for all those other snowboard magazines). So, if you've always wanted to know how to properly arrange stickers, this issue is for you.
