Big Lots!

Although no mission with the regulars, our new group managed a session out of a new bank ledge behind Big Lots!. Mikey began with a series of 5-0 tricks; 5-0, 5-0 tail, and 5-0 revert. Juan landed feeble pop-out but ate shit on a blunt to back 5-0.

Westchester Recreation Center

*Our apologies for the lag, but we haven't had many blog-worthy sessions since San Francisco.* With directions to another newly discovered spot, we ventured to Los Angeles to a nice rundown park called Westchester Recreation Center. These spots are always the best to hit up seeing as how no one with authority ever lurks the premise. This center holds the famous bank/slope to bench seen in nearly every skate video, including Transworld's 'A Time to Shine' (Paul Rodriguez switch heelflip crook). Although haggard and harder to skate than expected, like most spots, some were able to handle. The session was as follows: Cody - 5-0, nosegrind, lipslide, and tailslide, Tyler - front board, Garrett - back 50-50 and attempted back 5-0, Derek - crook and attempted kickflip back 50-50, Mikey - smith, and Joe - 50-50, tailslide (fakie), and nearly landed 270 shuv out. During the time Joe was attempting his tailslide 270 shuv out, Cody & Mikey hopped the nearby fence and sessioned an empty pool. There on an embankment dividing the shallow and deep end Mikey filmed no comply tailslide (fakie). After the secret pool session, they went to the famous V ledge (Paul Rodriguez switch back tail in Nike's 'Nothing But the Truth') around the corner from the bank/slope ledge at the rec center. Here they finished off the day with a boardslide fakie and a bail straight to the dome for Cody.
