So the homeys (Riley, George, & Steve) have been talking about this school in the hood with the best ledge setup that they skated just a couple of weeks back while I was out in Boston. They claimed that this spot was the shit and would be considered as “The Holy Grail” of LA skate schools; hands down. The thing was: a.) they had no recollection of the name of the school, b.) only remembered how the fence surrounding the school looked like and c.) they kinda knew where the spot was because they remember seeing this wall while driving there. (So finding the school would be a breeze if we we got to the wall. “For sure.”) Needless to say, I took them to the wall spot and after about 2.5 hours of driving around the hood, checking out 15+ schools, and hearing “That’s it!” or “For sure!” about 20 times; we found absolutely nothing. But something in the back of our forgetful minds told us that we were so close and yet so far.

After our failed attempt at trying to find this so-called legendary spot we all decided to go back towards Downtown LA to get our skate session going. While cruising around the freeways we spotted a bunch of graf that we thought you guys might appreciate. After all, we are a skateboarding/graffiti website.

When we were about 10 minutes away from our next skate spot near Downtown LA (while stuck in traffic) good ol’ Dr. Oct was so irritated for making me us driving around town to try to find the spot, he made it his mission to find the school through his iPod’s Google Maps. After a couple minutes of stoney intervention he claims that he had found it and that it was “For Sure” this time around. Too bad I was already halfway across Timbuktu. We’ll just have to wait and see tomorrow.
