jonnyboy lives in MDR, and katiepoche/alexthompson/brandon/erock all live in marvista, so there are close riders and they're probably better off to explain than i could.. but ride wise, the regular westside rides [ angelopes, cubcamp, taco tues, bikerowave movie night / den dinner on wednesdays. ]
VCM is another one.
theres also sunset ridazz for those that get off work reasonably early and that if its actually going on that day.

YO!
I'm in Dogtown right now!
I'm an eastsida but I do have some favorite food spots here.
1) Abbots Pizza
2) French Market
3) Taco Miendo (culver city)
Also in culver city is Funkmosphere on Monday nights at carbon.

I miss the REAL venice pavillion..... it wasnt made for skateboarding, it was hijacked by manimals for the purpose of shredding.
shot this sequence of Tim Jackson rocking his trademark wall ride to board slide....

when did they put in that snake run? is that new?
I used to poo poo skate parks big time citing the same reasons that people poo poo bike paths.... I figured the presence of skate parks would give cops and pedestrians excuses to tell me to get off the side walk...

it's being built this week from what the videos show...I'm 99% sure it's jesse martinez filming it....i've seen him at the location of the old pavillion a few times recently where they're building it.
