[Editor's Note: LaVallee Links is considered an extinct course on DgCourseReview.com.

The staff at StickerGiant loves Red Bull and consumes vast quantities of it everyday. As far as I can tell, Red Bull Wasted Space is a sort of a moveable skate park, where you can get jacked up on Red Bull and then skate. Which is of course read by the participants as "do crazy tricks and break your face." It's in Chicago now (well, Bartlett, IL) (well, it was anyway) and who knows where i...
