Santa Cruz Braves the Heat to Skate

Today, we dropped a new Dose video where Mario Realgeno took us on a tour of Downtown Los Angeles. Apparently, much like Randy Newman, we love LA, because we have another video from the city, this time from the folks at Santa Cruz. The latest edition of their Screaming Vlog video series features some of the team in Los Angeles taking on a massive heatwave to get their skating in.

While you might think of Los Angeles as a city with beaches and beautiful weather, in certain areas of the city it can get scorching hot during the summer. That was true fairly recently, as the temperature in LA crept into the triple digits. That’s a lot to deal with, and a lot of skaters would have probably just stayed inside. Not Henry Gartland, Emmanuel Guzman, Maurio McCoy, and Brian O’Dwyer, though. They got hydrated, lost the shirts, and braved the heat to bring us this video. We’re sweating just watching it, but we’re glad the Santa Cruz crew is tough/crazy enough to make this happen. Watch the video above, hopefully, while at a comfortable temperature.
