Pool skating is a thrilling and dynamic form of skateboarding that takes riders off the streets and into the abandoned or repurposed terrain of swimming pools. Originating in the 1970s with the rise of skateboarding culture in Southern California, pool skating has since evolved into a worldwide phenomenon, blending the raw energy of skateboarding with the unique challenges and creativity offered by empty pools.
Unlike traditional skate parks, pool skating offers an unpredictable and ever-changing landscape, with each pool presenting its own set of obstacles, transitions, and opportunities for creativity. Riders carve and grind along the curved walls, launching themselves out of the deep end, and mastering the intricate lines that define the pool's contours.
Pool skating requires a combination of skill, balance, and fearlessness as riders navigate the steep transitions and vert walls that define these concrete playgrounds.
Many view it as a form of urban exploration, with skaters seeking out hidden pools and abandoned spaces to ride. It's a subculture rooted in DIY ethos, where skaters repurpose forgotten spaces and transform them into vibrant hubs of creativity and expression.
Follow along as we drain the pool, patch up any cracks for optimal skating performance. We'll walk you through the process of applying primer to ensure a durable finish that's ready for action.
