I’m about to burn out my spot but fuck it, I moved to Colorado last year, if you’re near the downey area, right behind WSS/wingstop shoes on Firestone. The WSS is closed down(last time I checked) so it’s bust free, I salba sauced the fuck outta the curbs so you can grind for miles, and there’s a long double sided curb to get techy widdit. Ground is paved and smooth as buttery, if you go, please pick up after yourself:) the surrounding businesses have been cool with us skating there. Bail gun gary recently made a pepper grip edit there.

I’m a Legends “local” because Zach is so awesome haha.
Can you share his skateshop?

OP update, VAPA curbs have had most of their skate stoppers removed.
-
I feel like VAPA is constantly knobbed and un-knobbed.
-
Went to Cerritos High the other day - knobbed.
Shows how long it's been since I've skated there.
-
Costco, Santa Monica, and Home Depot are all kinda GOAT tier curb spots

Where are you based? Don’t have to say which city but i hope to live back in that region when we buy a place in the next few years

Lakewood. Formerly DTLB.

SM is definitely GOAT, but it's very hard to skate. Plus I get super self conscious with all those people around all the time.

Costco local here. Best weekday spot in town
How busy is this spot? How are the locals? I’m from Australia and will definitely have a skate there if I’m ever back in LA.

daytime can be sporadic up until 5pm. It could be super packed and busy with shoppers, or it can be completely empty during business hours. It’s currently summertime and the freshly resealed ground radiates heat. Once the sun starts to set behind the mountains though it’s amazing. They installed new led lights about 6 months ago making it easier to skate at nighttime
The “scene” is sort of cyclical. It’ll be really popular for a little bit and then die out for a while. Everyone that comes fairly regularly for the weeknight sessions are cool. Lately you can catch Ronnie Creager skating the morning sessions. I’ve gone as early as 6am, and I’ve stayed as late as 4am. I like to skate there on weekdays when I’m not working. Sometimes I’ll bring a box, sometimes someone will bring a flatbar, and this one dude even brings a spine ramp sometimes

Locals at Costco were shockingly friendly to me when I was in town. Granted, I was coming from NYC, where people are generally pretty closed off.
-
I know the Costco is right by the Polar/LRAB distro warehouse so I think a lot of the guys who work there will session after work and they’re all super friendly (the ones I’ve met at least)

Was in the area today and swung by. Curbs were dry. Quick wax on my trucks and got a couple of slaps in as a delivery truck driver watched on curiosity (WSS is gonna be a Spirit Halloween, so they were dropping off merch/supplies).
Then I went back about my day.

Probably. It looked like they were gutting the place and building it out.
