Architects of the Half-Mile Los Angeles River Blockbuster Roller Since 1988
Metro Transit Assassins — Three Stories Tall, Half a Mile Long on the LA River.
Founded in the late 1980s by Skate One and Blosm, MTA (Metro Transit Assassins / Must Take All) became one of the most notorious all-city bombing syndicates in Los Angeles. MTA entered global folklore by painting a continuous three-story-tall, half-mile-long blockbuster roller along the concrete walls of the Los Angeles River using hundreds of gallons of paint.
