Kevin Thomas Strahle (born: January 6, 1984), better known online as skippy62able (or L.A. Beast), is a professional competitive eater, who was born and currently lives in New Jersey, but lived in Los Angeles for a few years, and hosts a challenge-based channel on YouTube. He is well-known for his extreme endurance in lengthy, painful, and otherwise seemingly-incompletable challenges.
History[]
Kevin made his first video on YouTube on August 7, 2010, called "FatBurger XXXXXL King Challenge". At the start of his YouTube account, he mostly vlogged or did challenges. He's mostly known for the video "Enjoying A 20 Year Old CRYSTAL PEPSI" (made on February 13, 2013). The video is about Kevin trying to drink a 20-year-old Pepsi. He did it, but in the end, he vomited. The video has over 18 million views.
L.A. Beast frequently vomits after completing a challenge, and although he vomits in almost every video, he still leads a very large following.
L.A. Beast has a long-running feud with fellow YouTuber Chris "Shoenice" Schewe, as well as "BumGlum".
He has led a campaign for Pepsi to bring back the 90's soft drink, Crystal Pepsi, for many years. He was successful in this, and Pepsi brought out a limited edition of the Crystal Pepsi in the United States.
