Good Clean Fun – Redbull Soap Box Derby LA
Posted by TOmran · Leave a Comment
Red Bull Soapbox has been taken on by many brave souls; this ain’t no boy scout race. An event of this magnitude is only meant for real men and women that have the courage to try and conquer the intricate course at the latest pit stop in LA. The first Red Bull Soapbox Race took place in Belgium in 2000 and has since visited over 30 countries including Austria, England and Jamaica just to name a few.
With an estimated 111,000 people, the L.A traffic, and the rising temperatures, Angelinos still came out in droves to watch the 40 home made soapboxes from all across the US race through the streets of Downtown LA. The downhill course was mayhem, navigating the jumps, a banked 90-degree turn, and tight chicanes; only a few teams that managed to complete the course with their Soapboxes intact. Even more surprising was a record –setting speed of over 45mph.

Seeing is believing – Downtown LA Art Walk
Posted by TOmran · Leave a Comment
Downtown L.A hasn’t always been a sprawling vibrant haven for fashion and art minded people to congregate. Just a few years ago Downtown L.A was seen as a place not to be caught after the streetlights came on. But now it’s quite a different story. LA has seen a boom in its downtown community thanks to the new art walk. Bringing an entirely new group of people, replacing loiters and vagrants on the sidewalks.
On the 2nd Thursday of every month the old eclectic buildings surrounding this aged metropolitan area host “LA Art walk” where local art students and up coming artists display their latest creations whether it be on canvas, metal, architecture, or in the vitual world of digital arts. The city almost has an alter ego during this time as it switches from the hustle and bustle of city life into a more laid back creative arena.
