Yo, this one’s for the “roll-out the red carpet” moment—on Sunday, November 23, 2025, we’re sliding into the streets of Los Angeles for the ultimate open-street takeover: CicLAvia Melrose edition. The whole vibe? Car-free, community-driven, and stacked with possibilities. Netflix+3CicLAvia+3CicLAvia+3

I’m rolling up with my DonkBoard underfoot and a land paddle in hand, ready to channel that old-school hip-hop energy—“It wasn’t a dream” kind of grind. The moment the wheels hit the closed-off stretch of Melrose Ave, it’s just me, the street, and a wave of participants choosing motion over traffic lights.

Picture this: the sun peeking through palm-framed skylines, the chatter of skaters, cyclists, walkers, the bass of a 90s track vibrating somewhere in the air. The event runs 9 a.m.–3 p.m. and it’s free. No starting line. No finish line. Just the street open to us. CicLAvia+1

With the land paddle technique, I’m not just standing there—I’m carving, smoking through sidewalks, flirting with speed, feeling that core engage. My DonkBoard turning low into corners, tracks kicking up echoes of my old trap playlists. It’s movement. It’s freedom. It’s a little eccentric—and I love that.

And don’t sleep on the theme: they’re going full ’80s, insertion of the world of Stranger Things, immersive scenes, photo ops, retro looks. Netflix+1 I’ll be rocking the board like I’m gliding out of Hawkins right into the Upside Down of pavement.

So if you’re down to roll with me—board, paddle, or just feet—you know I’ll be there. The street becomes the canvas, our wheels and steps the paint. Let’s show LA how we land-paddle, how we DonkBoard, how we bring generational wealth vibes into motion. See you on Melrose, let’s ride.
