Star Maps - Post 2 - Glass-ride spot at Wilshire and Stoner.

The second unofficial Star Maps post. This spot on Wilshire is a few blocks from the apartment we have lived in since around ‘99. The year after we moved in Donny lived with PJ Ladd on Brockton Ave, a block over. After Donny’s Eastern Exposure 3 part dropped in early ‘96 and he got on Toy Machine, he moved out to West LA (Brian Anderson would also be around visiting Donny) and joined up with the Hot Rod Skateshop and Crust House/Dust House crews near UCLA. Prior to moving to Brockton, Donny lived on Goshen and Westgate and would be around Westwood, West LA and Brentwood filming for Welcome to Hell with Tim Dowling. At our Westwood Landfair apartment where we lived prior to West LA, he ollied the roof gap into our carport for a separate trick in the part. His line with a wallride on this glass window on Wilshire ended up starting out the part as the Black Sabbath ‘Megalomania’ lyrics “Suck me!” chime in. This spot remains untouched in 2024 and I was able to skate it when they boarded up the windows with plywood during the Covid-era civil unrest and protests after George Floyd was killed by police.
