Whenever the REAL squad cruises through SF a day across the bridge to skate the East Bay is always on the list. While filming for BE FREE, Ishod Wair and Kyle Walker gave the Courthouse a heavy one, two punch (that ended up being Ishod’s ender), and then took it to the Cleveland School 12 Set for a heated session with Zion Wright and the crew.
