Same...hit some gnarly hills in LA. I think around Los Feliz or Echo Park there are a bunch of spots where they have these deep lines that run along the road (about 6" deep). A friend of mine ate "feces" when riding through there some time ago. Good times

I hit a pot hole going down Beverly Glenn and cracked my rear rim. I thought my bike exploded

So apparently they have a hill climbing contest annually on Fargo street.
This dude is one of the few who have made it to the top, but with a unicycle! amazing

I haven't rode up or down this but when I went to my buddy's place last summer in SF, I saw someone try and try to go up (without stopping his bike)!! It was intense.
