Anybody here do any legal exploration? It looks really interesting to me. Post pics of things you have seen, and tips for other explorers! Angel

Me and my friends always look for nice spots to skate. One day we hit the jackpot with a 3 floor parking garage and exposed top floor. It was next to a train track that's used by freighters. It was perfectly legal for us to be there but we had the bright idea of throwing our boards up from the bottom to the top floor. So we deservedly got the boot and banned from returning. Essentially, if you do find a nice place, just dont be a nuisance and your chance of getting booted will be lower. Also, places next to business parks or just high-profile offices will have a higher chance of kicking you out. The people there have a lower tolerance for fun, despite it being legal to be there. The best places are usually pretty hidden too, whether it be behind a thin patch of trees or behind a large school building.

In terms of tips:
-Don't go alone!
-Make sure you've got good supplies:  backpack with flashlight [and extra batteries], some food and water, bandages, antiseptic, etc. 
-Wear the right clothes:  decent sturdy boots (you don't want to step on a nail and have it go through your shoe), clothes that are thick enough to protect your skin so you don't get scratched by anything jutting out and develop tetanus or something
-Take a respirator with you!  There can be plenty of nasty shit lying around (exposed asbestos, copious amounts of mold, various chemicals, etc) and you don't want to be breathing that into your lungs.  Make sure it's rated properly too.
-Be wary of really decrepit places, as the floors may be starting to fall out, or the ceilings may be starting to cave in.  
-If you're doing this in the southern US (or lots of other rural places) make sure the place is actually uninhabited and not the current squatting location for a methlab

I've been wanting to do this for a while now after discovering the Proper People's YT channel. Does anyone know of some good places in SoCal for someone who has never done this before?

One of the pieces by NEVAL and SAKO near the sewer's entry of my city. I dunno it was quite a sketchy area and I thought that this might belong in here.

Other places I normally go are PC(Petite Ceinture), this place is half legal because it's between a public park and a historic place (first post), but the other half hide this amazing views and it's illegal to enter lol:

A true legal place that is also kinda urbex, Quai de Valmy, and more specially next to Point Ephemere (my favorite venue in Paris):

No worries, I know when Police go under, every friday-saturday afternoon. I have met people that got caught already by Police. People have to know where they're going in and out LOL
