I used to go write with this one crew I had but then they stopped getting up after a while so I left. I know a kid that goes to my school that writes but know he's a black book bomber and never wants to get up. Now I usually have to have my friend that has no interest in graffiti spot me. Sometimes I don't like doing that because for some reason they usually suck at being look out. I was wondering if someone can give me tips on how to go out solo bombing (not having a lookout) at day time and prevent getting myself caught if other people see me
Where you from? For daytime spots pick under bridges. Some places I consider "gems" are places that you really wouldn't know it was there until you find it. Just explore. Start walking around. Park your car somewhere different. I like places with high volumes of traffic overhead. Like under a freeway overpass. People are going way too fast to notice you. And even if they do chances are they won't really think twice about it.
Just do it mane keep ur eyes and ears open and don't stop looking over your shoulders every few seconds. Don't get comfortable
I read something once that it's like getting away with murder. Remember: "Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance". Plan that shit out before you go. Google map search the area if you can't ride there and scope it out yourself. Have escape routes planned in case it goes to hell.
I don't know about all that. That's not really something you do if ur bombing maybe for a burner or something but a throw should take 2 minutes 5 if ur paranoid and always stopping to look.
Good advice man I got you. I usually do scope out the area no matter what even if I'm with a lookout I be sure to scope out the area. Thanks bro
I'm probably a bit overkill but heres what I've learnt and its keep me charge free for like 6 years. 1.Plan out roughly at least the route you're gonna take before you go out on something like google maps. 2. Don't dress like a vandal. I always were just a regular casual shirt as i normally bomb near city centre. Under shirt i have an oppsite color tee shirt so if i think someone has called 5-0 i can take it off and not match description 3. Read up on your local police powers. What rights you have if youre stopped by 5-0. Have a cover story where youre heading if youre stopped so you dont get caught out. 4. I took it one step further and in my bag i keep lots of "normal" arts supplys. Have a fake a4 pad with like sketches of city buildings. So if i get searched it's easy to say i like sketching city landscapes at night. Have lots of felt tips and regular pens so it's not obvious the 2-3 markers or mops i have etc. 5. In Uk there is tons of cctv and you cant avoid it basically, i took it to the next level and ordered a realistic long haired wig so if they get pics of me . no one can ID me. (pic because i know ppl think im full of shit haha). Got some clear fake glasses aswell cheap of amazon if youre not into the wig Have two rules: Rule 1: Every possible person is cop Rule 2: Every car is a cop car. Can't tell you the amount of times that the one car in the distance is the cops. Can appreciate im paranoid as fuck but it works haha
Polyp, that's genius. I would've never have thought of the glasses/wig and clothes part. I have facial hair, so I'm not sure how it would work for me. Haha
Good look man, if you're prepped for the scenarios that might happen in the field then you have an advantage in the situation if they arrive.
yeah I have problems with headphones even in chill spots. u never know when you need to scatter off a bum coming up on u but were talking bombing. agreed dont get fucked up, but have a few drinks. be quick and dont let too many cars pass unless u have a good route away. also i have ocd but i have my light and darks seperated by left and right side of my body light cans in left side jacket, light pens in left front or back pockets dark cans in right side or waistline, dark pens in right pockets. caps, dont get complicated. grab a few of the same (aka ny fat or elmer) and put them in the same place errrtime. its my system. now everyone knows my sauce. or my ways of overthinking
yep. nothing increases ur chances of being caught more than being sloppy drunk. youll also never surprise urself with ur own spots if never blackdout tho =]
Bombing solo kicks ass. you see a spot you take it. make your route as unpredictable as possible, never stay on the same street or alley for more than two blocks. look everyway but use your periferials. Bring only what you need. bring a bag, your chances of running are much lower when the 5-0 has less targets, getting stopped with a bag doesnt allow them to search it, the are however allowed to pat you down so waistbands prolly a bust. Try mangnets on the bottom of montana cans, always run the most miserable direction, when fleeing large jumps, creeks, fences, all your friend
I would rather have someone with me, than bomb alone, even if the other person doesnt bomb, my boy used to come just for the excercise everynight and he would just keep watch
I think the wig is way over kill haha I do the glasses thing as well tho, and the shirt idea is sick. I have longer hair so I can have it up when I'm painting. Can always put the hair down, ditch the glasses and bag, and now that I heard it take off my top shirt and BAM different person.
