Going West: Hoodslam

Going West will be a series of indeterminate length showcasing images from Lauren and I’s trip to San Francisco in October 2019 to visit some good buds, eat some good food and listen to some good tunes. Mission accomplished, more to come.

Part IV of Going West covers Hoodslam, a series of weekly amateur wrestling matches in Oakland. I didn’t know what to expect going into the event but it absolutely did not disappoint. The entire crowd was stoked to be there, totally engaged, riding the highs and lows with the wrestlers and chanting along with the MC every step of the way. If you’re in the Oakland area, I highly recommend checking out a Hoodslam event!
