MALIBU
A few months back, Girl Skateboards wanted to hook up a place for Girl/Choc team riders to stay while in Los Angeles. Instead of renting some overpriced dump in Hollywood, they used their connections in the world of real-estate and found a fixer-upper mansion in the hills of beautiful (yet bourgeois) Malibu, just a few minutes outside the city. Recently, I spent a day there (at the Girl Mansion) with Mike York and Chris Roberts, watching them play a game of skate out front while the flooring was getting pulled out. The place came with old, cracked marble floors but they’re replacing them with 100% Canadian hard rock maple. I guess it just seemed appropriate. – Bob Kronbauer
