Actually, after a little poking around, that looks like it might be the El Toro 20, a staircase in CA that's famous in the BMX world. Traveling from LA isn't so outlandish in that case.

Mineis a Bostitch 2.6 cfm,6 gal., 150 PSI that I bought at Harbor Freight. I'm guessing between $125 and $150.
I usually try to seat the beads first with a valve adaptor and if that doesn't work, then I pull the core and try again. My latest tires are Giant Gavia AC 0 and i didn't even soap the beads or have to pull the cores except to put sealant in. Same with some Vittorria Terreno gravel tires that I installed a few weeks ago.
Like I said, I had to let my LBS pop a Schwalbe Pro One on a couple years ago before I bought the compressor.

My wife and I did a short leg-resting ride and no sooner got in when the heavens opened up and we're in the middle of a tornado watch.
Never got hit by a drop of rain.
