A mini-ramp session and the random weird people of Venice Beach, California.
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 |
