Santa Monica "DUCE" wall.
The other day I was driving by one of my walls and notice a local artist had claim a little spot next to my piece... I don't know what world this guy lives in but that is a complete no, no. You or anybody, including my self should never claim a spot on some ones wall if you where not invited to do so by the artists who had work on the wall before you. So I slapped a quick character over his image. The end result kind of works but it still does not make the other artist actions ok.

L.A. Skate Laws
For everything in life we must have rules because if there were no rules it would be every one for him/her self. There would be complete anarchy with out rules and life would be real boring. If there were no rules then we could not break them. Rules were meant to be broken. As much as it sucks even skate boarding has rules and laws that regulate the sport from being practice in public places.
Below you will find a list of rules you can go break when you are skate boarding. I would like to thank LASKATELAWS.COM for providing this info on the web.
Rules of the road :
Anyone under 18 years old cannot ride a skateboard unless they are wearing a Helmet.
The helmet has to be ASTM or CPSC certified.
All helmets need to have these have either a ASTM or CPSC label
No one can sell a helmet for skateboard that does not have the ASTM or CPSC certification
All charges against these laws/codes are dropped if you tell the court that it is your first offense unless the court can prove otherwise
Violations in this section are called infractions with fines $25 dollars or less
Parents will be equally responsible if your child violates the law/codes in this section.
Individual cities can police their own rules such as rules against riding on sidewalks, roadways, or highways
Motorized skateboards cannot be used on sidewalks, roadways, or any highway.
No one can ride a skateboard on any county road, street, highway, lane or alley which has a grade in excess of three percent.
No one can ride a skateboard on any county road, street, highway, lane or alley in excess of 10 miles per hour.
No person can ride, operate or use a skateboard or any other device moved exclusively by human power, on a sidewalk, bikeway or boardwalk in a way that puts the safety of persons or property at risk.
Piers, Beaches, Parks
Within the limits of any park containing a fishing pier:
No one can use a skateboard on a fishing pier, except as permitted by the Board or its authorized representative.
No one can ride a skateboard or other wheeled device on any pier (this excludes wheelchairs).
Any park or portion thereof designated by the Board as a skateboard facility, whether the facility is supervised or unsupervised:
No one can ride a skateboard unless that person is wearing a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads.
No one can use or operate any skateboard on county property at any of the following locations, except in areas designated for such purposes:
The Los Angeles County Superior Court at 200 West Compton Boulevard, Compton, California;
The Compton Branch of the County Public Library at 240 West Compton Boulevard, Compton, California.
Glossary
County property - means real property in the unincorporated and incorporated areas of the county which property is owned, leased, or controlled by the county, including, without limitation, public buildings and facilities and their surrounding grounds and improvements, walkways, footpaths, stairs, access ramps, railings, monuments, fountains, plazas, driveways, parking lots, or other paved areas.
Skateboard - means any board or any other object with a flat surface which has wheels attached to it by any means whatsoever and which is designed to be or can be ridden or propelled by one or more persons standing or kneeling upon it.
Penalty
Any person violating any of these provisions will be guilty of an infraction. Punishment will carry a maximum fine of $25 dollars.
If you ask me all of these rules suck!
Be safe when you skate and skate within your ability but other than that just rip, shred and grind everything you see:)
