Urban Skate Project strikes again. This time the renegade crew took to the streets of Little Tokyo in Down Town Los Angeles. Any skater who has ever passed this spot wished it was skateable, and for a few weeks, it was.
Hell Curving – Un giro de esperanza
We had the will and that’s what pushed us forward. There were many times, because of interferences by the city council, that we almost stopped and gave up, but pride, strength, and our internal struggles made it possible that after 12 years, that piece of concrete hope still remians, something we built then because we needed a decent place to skate, and as a symbol of protest against a city that discriminated and labeled us delinquents, and still does to this day.

John ‘Dana’ Allison is one of those people.
