South Bay with Louie Lopez, Ryan Lee & Mason Silva l Neighborhoods

We flew out to California to visit the South Bay, an area just outside Los Angeles, home to Louie Lopez ( / louielopez ) and Ryan Lee ( / ryanree .
Initially, we were going to do the video with just these two, but we quickly realized Louie and Ryan’s story can’t be told without Mason Silva, who has been part of the inseparable trio since day one. ( / masonsilva , who has been part of the inseparable trio since day one.
Together, they all showed us where they got their start and took us to some old parks, cutty spots, and a perfect burrito restaurant.

This crew is already special, but when Louie wins SOTY…it’ll be historic. 🤞

[@Hollywood42081]

Should've won it last year

[@SorenBoddy]

can we all shut up about soty Louie is still louie with or without that "award"

[@rahliE777]

He’s so young bro, by the end of it he’ll have won it numerous times.. It’s scary to think of what he’ll be doing even 2 years from now

@@SorenBoddy right! Honestly you could’ve put 4 names in a hat and chose 1 last year, it’s not like he got completely robbed

I don’t get the point of closing a skatepark in anyway

[@duder596]

Louie and mason are amazing skaters and seem like really nice blokes, but goddam if they aren't two of the most boring and uninspiring skaters out there. Their whole scene is like looking at golf highlights.

[@morgansbrothervideo]

Hermosa (park) is the worst. Here, skate in a cage in front of the police department…no thanks. Instead of movie sets, how about the history of racial profiling in the area?
