The rain woke me up at 9am today and it was freazing cold. After a super hot shower I got ready to go Skate this building close to our place, it has some ledges and a nice manual pad, but after going for a coffee with Gunther and Zavalaga we decided to go to LA instead, so we got onto the 405 and drove to Sebastians place in downtown LA. Gunther couldn’t come with us but I took the camera with me, when we got there Sebastian set up a fresh new board and we went to the Helipad on top of his apartment to warm up ( Yes…Helipad ).
The sky was almost filled with clouds and it looked very cool so I took some pics of their warm up. After 30 minutes we went to the Staples Center but we got kicked out faster than ever before; two guys started screaming at us and this giant dude grab me by the shoulder and told me to “get the fuck out of there”, I told him to chill but he got even crazier :/, I guess he was having a very bad day or maybe he was naturally pissed at his security guard life, who knows :). After the retarded Giant powertrip we cruise downtown all the way up to 1st street and found these nice ledges; I didn’t take many pictures cause my hands were literally FROZEN but it was a nice little session, angry giant drama included :). We then drove back to CM and had a nice dinner at a Peruvian restaurant to close our cold Angels day.
I didn’t take a lot of pics as I said before but here are the 3 I liked the most :).
