    Loving this spot history like the rest of the series. I was lucky enough to fly from NC to LA twice while in high school (Summer '99, Fall '00). Each time, my friends & I made the pilgrimage to Venice. The Pavilion/Pit were still there in '99. It was a dream come true to be there, especially after the Mouse video being watched so many times. The place smelled like old piss & full trashcans. Insanely lucky to just happen to be there when a few well-known skaters started rolling up to the hubba out back (Jeremy Wray, Pontus Alv I believe) . Then, more started showing up (Erik Ellington, Dustin Dollin, others I can't remember). Then more filmers started showing up (Rick Kosick, Atiba Jefferson). It turned into a huge get-together of so many different pros & teams. It was surreal. Chatted it up w/them & basically sat back & watched. A moment I'll never forget. The next year in '00, it was gone. The beginnings of the new Venice Pavilion had already been created, & it was such a different look/feel to what it used to be. Way before the current skatepark was built. Kinda like a beach plaza park. Chimneys & a few walls still tagged, basically decor in the sand. It was still fun & a treat to even be in LA @ that time, but it wasn't the same as the year prior. Great, great times! Brought some headies from CA back to NC for the homies, too. 😅
