Where?

One Ditch, Any Block.

So the other day we hit up this ditch spot. When first got there all that was skateable was the little hip thingy on the side, but thanks to Justin and Austin's brooms we swept the whole thing out and had a dandy time. Unfortunately a few days later Alec, Colin, Justin, and Austin all realized they got poison oaked from this spot. So be careful if you ever go there.


Justin Cefai and Austin Squire get their nollie on, back to back.


A still of Justin's nollie back heel. This bank is nothing like the one at your local skate park.


It's mind boggling trying to figure out how Alec Beck even got enough speed to get into this noseblunt, let alone hold it and pop back in with only a few inches of dirt to stall on.


At the end of the session Alec filmed this line with Ben Duffy, who was experimenting with a new butt-boarding filming technique haha. Alec actually stuck this line three times cause he didn't like his switch tre flip.


So I've started working on a fun little series of videos that I'm calling "Any Block." The idea is to randomly pick any block and then go skate there and try to film as much stuff as possible. I guess the purpose is to show that you can have fun skating anywhere and you don't really need perfect skate spots. This first one features Alec Beck, Suraj Bharj, and myself getting gnar gnar around Ocean Park and 14th in Santa Monica. Look out for Any Block #2 soon.
