Los Angeles has a great urban scene--some of the best spots in the country. The problem, however, is that you'll likely get a ticket by the cops. UCLA has some great riding, but the UCLA security guards will be all over you...

By the La Brea tar pits, there is some cool stuff. I think there is a lot of security there.

Pasadena City College has cool stuff. As does USC. I was skating at usc, and not once was told to stop.

for all these places, you just gotta be on your toes and split quickly if you do meet the one security guard who has a bug up his ass. it's the same anywhere since, at least technically speaking, we're doing illegal stuff everytime we leave the bike lane, run a stopsign, or make a turn without signaling.

they are laws that bikers obey precisely never, but if an authority figure really wants to be a dick, they can always get you on something. same thing goes in a car i suppose. saw a guy getting patted down last night for riding a bike while brown. it was pretty revolting to see the pigs in action like that.

UCLA has some interesting stuff, I would offer to show you around but I dont have my bike up here. I rode a bit last year and was never hassled by security, though I know one of my friends has been.

Downtown has it goin on. 4 or 5 good spots to session around City Hall. The whole Civic Center Plaza from the Music Center down to the Courthouse is ledges, double sets and gaps galore. A few nice spots near Staples and the Convention Center. An insane wall ride ON the Disney Concert Hall near the box office. Lots of short, cutty trails and obstacles in Elysian park, just east of Chinatown also.

Plus its a lot easier to find a beer in the city than it is on the trail.:cool:

hancock park has some nice banked lawns that you can use as hip jumps. i don't think the owners like them used that way, but i have yet to be caught.
