84. Los Angeles Laps

Weird. There's something that's just kind of uncanny about this one and I can't put my finger on it. I like the start with the Santa Monica pier and the beach and tricking off these kind of skate park-ish elements, but then after that I can't really remember any part of the track - it just blurs together. Somehow the city feels more fake and sterile than Los Angeles even is in real life. The energy of this track is wrong. The music sucks - it should have like, a Beach Boys surf rock kind of vibe, or maybe something ska inspired, instead of whatever this is. And the third lap takes you through... the um, the Inglewood Oil Field? Really? I do actually think this part's fun to race through, so points for that, but it's a weird and ugly take on LA. I do really like flying through the baseball park and I like all the palm trees and shopping mall vibes but I feel like they could have done more with LA. Where's all the traffic! There should be part of this course that takes you through I-5 where it's just jammed with traffic and you have to swerve through - or drive over - a bunch of parked cars.
