We had a few hours to kill in Los Angeles before flying back home from Woodward Damn Am last weekend so we found a hipster lunch spot and hit the streets with Jata, Yonnie and crew that were in LA getting GX clips. You know you're at the right LA spot for lunch when you find Jason Dill there. After a short discussion of how we would approach him for conversation and a photo, Porpe made the call out and got yet another update for MeAndPorpe.com.

Downhill spots are scary unless you're damn good at skateboarding. Jereme's switch crook wasn't a problem.

Max has a king sized snap over it. Whoever lives there never came to the door that was open the whole time.

We ended up at the top of the hills with a great view of LA and the valley.

Jata has been bi-coastal in 2012. You should be, too.

With a sunset like that behind you, it's time for some classic silhouette photos. That's Jata kickflipping.

Boy band photo, take two. Always make sure you have your skateboard as an accessory to ensure album sales performance.

Okay, we have to get out of here, but not before one last dice roll. Cars will just go around you. Porpe went home broke as usual. Good-bye west coast, we'll be back again soon.
