Los Angeles 4/18/09...

This Saturday we spent another day in L.A. I did a lot of driving and we did a lot of spot checking, but we still managed to get a lot done...
Once again we started the day off by picking up Dean at the Del Taco in Mission Viejo. Adam , Keith, and Dean all grubbed on some for breakfast while I passed.
We took the 5 north all the way to Soto. When wearrived on 26th St. it was 85+ degrees.
We skated this ledge Montre does in Too Faded....
...as well as this long flat rail across the street.
Adam and Keith are still filming for their video Let's Blade as well...
Next we got back on the freeway and hit the 110 North and went to the infamous Fully Flared slab. I attempted to set up this rail with two tires and the few bricks we found.
We all fooled around on this spot as there was not that much to really do, but everyone got something.
Dean fakie 360d this thing in a line...
...and then we headed out again.
I found this school on Google Maps and it was pretty cool. The inside had another rail from the Too Faded Extras edit, but we were over hopping any fences for it. Dean was lookin' at a sweaty up this, but decided on a rain check.
We got back on Figueroa and headed to Burbank... which was not good.
So we walked across the street and had some Italianos.
Everyone grubbed and Adam got the left overs before we headed back south.
We exited Wilshire and went to check out another famous rail... which was not good. This spot is a major bust and we basically got kicked out looking at it.
Downtown is pretty sick, so we headed down Wilshire and went to 1st street again.
Lee's tricks on this were really good...
We rolled around downtown and just skated a variety of little spots...
We ended the day back on 1st and Grand with these little ledges behind the gap to ledge.
