The hill is sick. Faster (quicker, to be exact) then the Trocadero STR TS. It was a "small scale" BIG race. Good vibes. Fast skaters. Beatiful LA.

Hey Vlad, how did Pink Leather do against Black Leather?
Did you get that
pink g-string of yours spanked?
I'm stoked that you made the trip out. Wish I could have made it up to race, but I started a brand new job today at 6:30am sharp though and that's more important to me right now.
Talked to my skate buddy Steve Collins and he said it was just a killer event and a great vibe. He told me about the Juice Magazine site. Looks great:
