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
