Pool Skateboarding

Upon perusing the Internet its easy to see that pool skateboarding has in recent years become a international phenom once again.  The accessibility of ready made California designed/inspired skate-parks has facilitated this expansion if you will into the global powerhouse it is today.  The Internet has brought together groups of like minded individuals that would have never know each other from opposite sides of the world.

Amazing how we can all share the infinite stoke on what we’re riding and see how the other side lives so to speak.  Australia, Japan, Canada, South America, UK, Europe, etc all have healthy pool skateboarding scenes that coexist against the tide of mainstream exposure.  A once underground activity is now being thrust into the spotlight, but only on our terms.  When we decide to share you will see the results, if not well the sessions never stop and I wonder just how many pools get ridden on any given day throughout the planet.  I will try and come up with a number here shortly after emailing around and seeing what various crews are up to.

Until then peace out, stay positive and live life…
