New York's Sam Downs soaks up some California sunshine and catches a few sessions with his buddies Jesse Romano, Mike Stahl, Chief, and more in Long Beach and Los Angeles.

"I escaped the NYC cold this December and traveled to LA to meet up with some of my friends in Long Beach. I was there for only a couple days, but managed to get enough filmed for a quick trip edit. Thanks for showing me around guys!" - Sam Downs

"About a year's worth of casually riding around, talking shit, and having some beers."
