Venice Beach Lurk Out Part Two
We got lost for a bit and ended up in some random neighborhoods. There are some amazing homes in this area
|
Someone could ollie this pyramid
|
You could use your car to jump this one
|
Look to your right when you go over that bridge and you see this
|
This guy was tripping on me taking photos out the car window, so I took a picture of him. So, when he rolled down his window to say something to me, I just took more pictures of him
|
Another random Venice neighborhood. It's lookin' real Florida style in some places here
|
Had to pause for a quick skateboard business meeting to plan and review the contest format and other general bid'niss stuff
|
Then we went to Leonard Trubia's house. He lives with Robbie McKinley and Chris Roberts. That's Robbie, Leonard, and Schaefer
|
Leonard took us to this shop that has a mini ramp
|
Leonard Trubia - manual layback rollout. We should put him in the cut for the Manny Mania tomorrow for that one
|
Clements is lookin' like Lobster Boy on this 5-0 fakie
|
Brian Schaefer - back lip. CLICK TO ENLARGE
|
Ryan Clements - Manny Mania out to pivot to fakie. CLICK TO ENLARGE
|
Brian Schaefer - frontside disaster
|
The shop has an area you can skate flat ground in. That's a switch heel snap right there
|
The shop is huge. There's even a five stair in there that you can skate, but there was clothing racks in front of it today
|
Big snaps switch heel kid also has some tranny skills
|
We're back on the Venice Beach lurk out now. I walk into the hotel lobby and this is the first thing I see. Holy baby horse mullet! I like the tomahawk chop double nosepick
|
This guy is a Venice Beach lurker local. Schaefer was passing out ones to everyone like he was in a strip bar
|
Apparently, he was in some movie and has a nickname. He sells t-shirts with his name on it and also has CD's
|
A generic skate shop simply called Venice Beach Skateboarding Stuff
|
This weirdo's show was to walk on this glass. Before he actually does it, he has to hype it up and get a crowd gathered around him
|
I was here early in the morning, and trampoline guy was jumping. I came back later in the day, and trampoline guy was still on the bounce
|
A couple blocks away from the other skateboarding stuff store is this skateboarding stuff store
|
Santa kicks it here when he's not a the North Pole
|
A skateboard is a very popular mode of transportation here. The board apparently wore this guy out
|
Where's Bobby Fischer?
|
Creepy naked snake guy. Nice shoes
|
Creepy piano lady keeps you entertained while you stare at creepy naked snake guy
|
This is Ass Muscle Beach, the gym right in the mix
|
Now it's on for nightlife. We rolled over to Long Beach to meet up with the fourth leg of SPoTlight Productions, Jason Rothmeyer
|
Then we went to some bar in Long Beach and saw Nate Jones' band. Dave Duren is on bass
|
I'm a Nate Jones fan for sure
|
Ok, we're out. Good night. Check the live webcast today
