Herbert Hoover High School located out in Glendale, CA recently reconstructed a plaza area near the center of the school.  “Hoover” for short is roughly about 10 minutes away from one of our most frequented warm-up hotspots; Glendale High.  If you’re in the mood for putting down some hammers and jumping down a 7 and 7 and 7 (That’s not a typo.) then this is probably the spot to hit.  As you can see from the photos below the school has some smooth ground as well as some slick, marble-typed benches to work with.

In the center of the plaza towards the left (as you enter the building overlooking the stairs) is a gap over rail that you can try to toss your carcass over.  Anyone up for a Switch Flip on this?

These were the marble-type benches that we were talking about earlier.  Grinds and slides pretty smooth without the need for wax.

Shortly after the lazyness heat was taking its toll on us we decided to hop around town to another one of our skate spots called Betty Plasencia.  You might remember these back to back benches that are stacked side by side from some of our Clip Of The Week’s (COTW).  Needless to say, after hours of skating & filming we got nothing.  You win some, you lose some.  Maybe another day.
