The recorded & edited collection of animated photographs (the R.E.C.A.P., that is) you see before you was collected by …

Skating down Barrett Junction is a Wild West type of downhill experience—harkening way back to the days of the true outlaw, a rougher and much ruggeder time when simply to survive was the struggle of the day!
Los Angeles is a sprawling 502.7 square miles and the skate community is spread out into every corner of the county.
