. . . is no mountain, just a eighty-foot high hillside above a grassy
park set back a quarter mile from the water near the Pico Blvd. Pier in
Santa Monica, California. Since the place is so accessible it long ago
became a practice Muni ground and for most West LA riders was the place
we all learned rolling hops and big drops as well as bombing down steep
dirt chutes betweeen runs over tiered drops up to six feet (many much
higher on the flanks). The park is frequented by bathing beauties,
drunks and feral curs and we´ve almost run over them all (sorry, Dood).
Many have plowed regular grooves in the grass following horrific UPDs.
The green face plant is a badge of honor. The place is about 100 yards
long and is a total blast and even after three years we haven´t
exhausted even a third of the possibilities. There are so many
different stair bits and retaining walls and bits of cement build up
that drops with shocking steep roll outs number in the thousands. Don
and I were there the other day and I snapped off some shots which Don
said he would post (thanks Don).
I trust we will never tire of Mount Venice. As an after - work haunt,
it is second to none in this area. Muniing at the beach is good living.
