"My first pair of good trucks came from Rip City."—Mark Gonzales

Give 'em a visit on Santa Monica Blvd. the next time you're on the west side. You wanna see old Santa Monica? It's still there.

"That's one of the only places in Santa Monica that's not been rearranged and decimated."—Tony Alva

"The cracks in the sidewalk are still the same right here."
