Here’s a short but sweet video featuring Mike Hinkens, Grant Castelluzzo and Jeff Z. out cruising an industrial park out in Los Angeles. As you can imagine with a line up like this, there was no shortage of grinds and wallrides to go down. Take a peek!

“Mike Hinkens grew up riding spots in the industrial areas of the Midwest Rust Belt region. After moving to Ecuador almost a year ago, Mike was overdue for an industrial session, so during a recent stint out in LA with Grant Castelluzzo, we went for a cruise in one of LA’s finer (and lesser known) industrial areas for a day.
