VOLCOM Skatepark (Indoor) – Costa Mesa, CA

On top of the outdoor skatepark that VOLCOM has, they also have an indoor one!  Don't expect to visit this spot anytime soon though.  It's exclusive only for the sponsored riders, friends and workers at VOLCOM and is not open to the public.  (Don't worry about how we got in.  We just did.)  This spot is probably one of the best indoor skateparks that I've ...

VOLCOM Skatepark (Outdoor) – Costa Mesa, CA

The outdoor VOLCOM skatepark in Costa Mesa is pretty damn fun.  They have a diversity of things to hit from a 4ft bowl, a street course with a Euro Gap, Pyramids, etc. down to a huge ass bowl for all of you leopard printed pad wearing, poolriding, old school, shredders.  The best part of the park is skating the Euro Gap and skating the back ...

Happy Birthday B2000!

This past weekend we went down to the RA Sushi over at the Del Amo Mall to celebrate my boy Beto's 35th birthday.  Hahaha, just kidding.  He's not 35 years old.  If that was the case then we would all be balding and dating hot, young, and very underaged chicks.  (Wait.  Isn't that happening right now?)  Anyhow, the turnout was amazing and everyone came down ...

Goofy vs Regular 2008 – Lake Forest, CA

Goofy vs Regular is an annual skateboarding contest that started back around 2005 by the heads over at Etnies.  It is held every year at the Lake Forest Etnies Skatepark and has resulted in a nice battle between Goofy & Regular footed pros and ams.  (This is basically bragging rights on which skateboard stance is putting it down.  The Goofy-Footed squad gets my vote by ...

Wind River Park – Huntington Beach, CA

This is for all my tight pants wearing, long-haired having, hammer dropping, heshers.  This spot is for you.  The ledge was originally knobbed but someone fixed it with Bondo and is skateable again.  See how far a little bit of work can get you?  Hours of entertainment jumping up and down stairs till your heels go numb.  You won't be seeing me jumping down this ...

San Pedro Bumps – San Pedro, CA

Located just down the street from the Channel Street Skatepark are these bumps along the sidewalk where you might remember Chad Tim Tim doing a Switch Heelflip over a barrier in an Element ad.  They are located on Harry Bridges Road.  It's kind of hard to explain the directions as there is no defined address to where this bump is but here's the best way ...

Channel Street Skatepark – San Pedro, CA

You might remember this spot from all of the footage of Daewon skating the steep transitions in the newest DVS video or maybe you remember this spot from one of our older blog entries of Gabriel doing a Backside Smith and Crooked Grind.  From what I know, the Channel Street Skatepark started off by a bunch of skaters building banks under a bridge that eventually ...

The Ambassador Series Grand Opening (Street Skate Plaza) – San Pedro, CA

As we promised to you last Friday, we attended The Ambassador Series grand opening over the weekend to give you coverage of the event.  To our disappointment the event didn't live up to it's "hype".  We initially discovered about the event online through their website.  After watching the 3 minute clip of RAEKWON hyping it up as well as having P-Rod & Daewon as the ...

Fountain Valley Ditch – Fountain Valley, CA

We usually blow up spots with our Spotcheck category by giving you addresses of the locations and descriptions of the spots but for this one out in Fountain Valley we're going to have to keep it a secret.  It's a top secret ditch with 2 double-sided buttery ledges, a quarter pipe to wall ride and a random bump.  We connected with the Costa Mesa SAC's (LUMBO and ...
