Saw a Meme saying Elijah put a lock on a spot after skating it. Anyone know the back story?

links, pics, and quotes · « **Reply #1 on:** December 03, 2020, 02:23:11 PM »

the story goes that earl berle grinded this rail outside of KITH on sunset boulevard and put a bike lock on it so no one else could skate it, but fucked up and didn't put it on properly. some time later, grant taylor moved the lock and was skating the rail and cody green - the vans filmer - happened up on them and told them elijah already grinded the rail and tried his hardest to get them to stop skating the spot. grant's photo was used in a nike ad, you can see the lock at the top of the rail but at the bottom of the support

It's apparently on the ground. Doesn't make any sense why he would put a lock under the lowest rail.

Most likely he locked it on top and Grant maneuvered it to the bottom rail support

Look at the blue street sign in Grant's photo, then look directly to your right.

I'd say they just used a bolt cutters and got rid of it

In Southern California there is a lot of skaters and filmers that do this. Bike locking spots, bunch of dorks. I’ve tried to air out a couple people on here about doing it.

Grants photo looks much better. Loose without being sloppy.
