How to Flash the Ladera Gang Sign

West Side Los Angeles. East Side Los Angeles. South Central. Compton. Oaktown. And introducing: Ladera Ranch! It is time, my friends, for the fine city...town...area of Ladera Ranch to join the ranks of the tens of California areas that have their own gang sign. Not only will it toughen the image of the...place, but it will also give a sense of camaraderie and a means of identification when not in the confines of "The Ranch" (that's what the locals call it).




Now for the step-by-step instructions as to how to construct this exciting gang sign:


Step 1: Extend your right* hand out in front of you so that you are doing about half of a "Sieg Heil"


Step 2: Extend index finger


Step 3: Extend thumb (you should now have a backwards "L" shape)


Step 4: Extend middle finger then overlap and hook it around your extended index finger


Step 5: Now face the palm of your hand towards your body


Step 6: Congratulations! You are now flashing the Ladera Ranch gang sign!

* When posing for photos, repeat these steps with left hand to be sure that the image isn't in reverse.
