\r\n\t\r\n\tStaying in Central Europe during December? Mate – Hell no! skatedeluxe team rider Denny Pham is currently spending his time in Los Angeles to shoot for an upcoming interview and of course to collect some footy!\r\n\tGet some insights on Denny’s trip into the metropolis of skateboarding with this virtual postcard.\r\n\t<\/strong>\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

\r\n\tOkay, to be honest, it’s not the first time Denny chose to better leave Europe when it starts to get dankish and uncomfy.\r\n\tWhile he went to the Far East last winter<\/a> he decided to go to Los Angeles in the “Golden State”<\/em> of California this year.\r\n\tSkate buddy Maxi Schaible, videographer Dennis Ludwig and probably the happiest ginger on earth Florian “Burny” Hopfensperger are with him.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

\r\n\tTo break it down: Los Angeles is 100% skateboarding. The skateboarding revolution emerged from this city in the 1970s when Legends like Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta destroyed empty backyard pools.\r\n\tWith lots of the most popular and core skate brands starting their business here and a bucket full of famous spots like the Venice Beach Skatepark, the 12 and 16 step stairs at Hollywood High School, the Jkwon Plaza, the Fairfax High School Hubba or the Sunset Carwash Banks, LA truly is the metropolis of skateboarding.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

“Sorry – We’re from Europe and didn’t know that this is trespassing…”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

\r\n\tLast night, I got a virtual postcard of the crew again. The short chatting with Denny & Burny pretty much sums up what they’re doing right now.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\t

\r\n\t“We’re skating all day long, but of course we’re stuck in the van for like 50% of the time.”<\/em> \r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\t

\r\n\tFor sure, in an US City like LA with something around four million residents the spots are far apart from each other.\r\n\tFortunately, the guys only had a few busts or problems with cops. And if so, the good old excuse was of good help: “Sorry – We’re from Europe and didn’t know that this is trespassing…”<\/em>.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t

\r\n\t\t\t“Of course the weather in Cali is always top notch. The sky shines blue and the wonderful purple and orange sunsets make the best end of a productive day full of skateboarding. And with temperatures around 20\u00b0C it’s a good life here.”<\/em>\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t“While you’re reading these lines we’re probably sitting in the car to get to the next spot ’cause our motivation is priceless. In’n’Out Burger and nice mexican food gives us lots of energy – of course not every day; there has to be at least one Ceasar Salad a week. ;)”<\/em>\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t\t

\r\n\tJust click through the pics for some side shots from LA and get into the California Dreamin’ mode<\/em> like me.\r\n\tCentral Europa in winter? Nothing doing…\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t
