It's time to get to the beach and party! I decided to start this group because I've always been envious of the larger groups of people hanging out together at the beach on weekends. Know people all over Los Angeles, managing "friends" has always been annoying so I figured MeetUp is the way to go! The purpose of the group is to play backyard/beach games like KanJam, Beach Volleyball, Frisbee, etc, or just socialize and get a tan. Feel free to bring food and drinks! Our group will meet on the beac …

United Steps is a privately funded non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Our primary mission is to reverse the cycle of homelessness with practical methods.

This is an embarrassing and shameful environment which has caused Los Angeles to become the capitol of homelessness in America. The reality is that more than enough food, housing, …

To us, the bond between friends that ride together are thicker than others. We ride, we eat, we chill, and we ride some more. The more milage we go, the more canyons we carve, the more apex we rip together, the stronger the bond. We love to find new canyons to twist through and enjoy the beautiful scenery at every stop. We will make trips to the tracks to test and better our skills to the max in a safer and legal environment, but we will also have a BBQ just to post up on our bikes, look cool, a …
