Rob Smith’s LA photo blog

Death, Supra and Black Sheep pro Rob Smith is currently on the road and has traveled through Europe to get to the gold paved streets of Los Angeles. His second week in California sees Rob in Eric Dressen’s hands to get a Screamer, sessions at the Baker Boys warehouse, outdoor parks, art shows and much more.

This is part 2 of a series of photos. Start planning your own trip this summer and get out there and get some too.

Two of the most motivated guys on earth!
A selection of my favourite stars.

The only thing people use umbrellas for over here. Sun.

So stoked on how it turned out! Thanks again Eric.
This only applies here.
This skatepark reminds me of a friend in Costa Rica right now.
I dont think anyone has skated this rail.
Couldn't stop laughing at this!

What a line up!

These photos below are from week 1.

Rob Smith sent us over a series of photos for a gallery blog feature with snaps from the first week in the sunshine. So far his sights have been shared with fellow Brits abroad, Fos and Nordberg at backyard pools, ditches, parks and street spots all over the Californian playground and also grabbed a seat at the Danny Way film premiere for good measure.
