i lived in ontario from 99-2000 and that's where i started skating. i used to live on mission kinda by the deja vu and really close to that famous bump to gap that shoots you out to the street. i used to go to claremont all the time to hunt for shit at rhino records and last time i went i saw that they turned that whole area into a 1 lil hipster haven (adding an american apparel, movie theatre, starbucks, restaurants, etc.) do you ever go to 2 claremont skatepark? it's such a fun lil crappy park. damn, i just remembered that that's the 1st park i ever went to. the high school near by has some semi-famous spots (double set, tripple set that creager kickflipped.) sorry for the rant, but typing all this stuff made me reminisce a lil. parks i used to skate frequently were fontana (they added a helmet rule and membership), pedley in riverside, and upland/pomona once in a while.
1. I know, that shit sucks.
The movie theatre they put in is a Laemmle, they play some indy films but doesn't ever air the cool shit (machotaildrop, machete, the hurt locker, until the light takes us). I see all this sick shit on their sight for the la ones, and then out here they play slum dog millionaire. Fuck.
I used to skate with this dude at claremont park
I see him around still but I don't think he skates much.
The city it's self has some good shit to skate in the colleges. If you look of age you can play off as a student and get away with a warning just about anywhere there, the parties are good too.
2. I loc'd there for a good few years between 05-09, that place sucks but i'll always love it. The pomona one is called palomares and it's not that bad, it's got a pier 7 mock up and some cool others. Downtown pomona has a bunch of good spots and damn worthy shop down there called platform, if you're ever back in the area stop by.
Anywho.
Grabbed some UK Chedder today, strong hybrid. You feel dumb for a good half second then you go into productive stoned mode for a few hours until it fizzes off into a giggle here and there. It's sweet, sativa dominant (I think?) not too spicy. I'll get some photo's of it tomorrow.
