Crayon Skateboard pro’s and Skull Candy UK representatives Korahn Gayle and Dan Wileman spent a few weeks in LA earlier this year, hitting up a collection of park and street spots in and amongst the epic amount of partying they kept posting on their blog.

They didn’t have a set filmer with them for most of the trip, so both chipped in for a VX1000 and filmed each other instead.

Anyway, Dykie’s uploaded their edit from the mission to the Crayon Vimeo account – check it out below…
