I Started skating as a youngster around 91-92. Left the game for a while, but jumped back on the board years later after missing the little things like the feeling of just rolling on smooth flat ground and kicking the board around with the homies. I always had the "you don't have to be good at something to like it" mentality to keep me going, and I love skateboarding. I just suck at it.
As far as the blog...Being on a skateboard with that mentality you will never look at the streets the same. You will always see something and think "Man, that would be sick if someone could....". So any time me and my skate buddy's see one of those spots in and around L.A./O.C., or maybe a nice spot we may have skated we take a snapshot of it so you know its out there, and anyone who can...Get Some!
Another spot I came accross just cruzin around. This looks like it would be pretty. The bar is about knee high from the sidewalk and the ground is rough, but looks bareable if you had some bigger wheels. This was also in the parking lot of a empty building.
Heavy Traffic on my way home today so I tried to take a little short cut. Just as I was turning the corner I seen this uphill (or downhill) ledge poking out. Pretty high on the up side, but crazy looking so I thought Id take a couple pics. Looks like there is a bit of wax on it too.
I have seen this spot for years now, and never see fresh wax on it. Being next to a four lane road I would bring some spotters if you ever tried this during the day. The top of the little wall is higher than it looks in the pic too.
Imagine having this on the way to your local liquor store. I can see me cuzin by for another twelver with a little confidence and end up limping back home.
I don't want to give any exact locations incase it might blow up the spot for any locals that skate it, but I will try to post the city if I remember. If you shoot me a message and ask nicely, I will hook you up!
