East Coast Pools. Florida U.S.A.

There can't be anything better than going to a swimming pool on a boiling hot Florida day in mid July . . . To Go Skateboarding.
Here in Jacksonville, we've got a pretty good backyard scene. About a dozen or so guys like to get in your yard to skate, drink beer, cuss, and laugh. This isn't always the exact order of our program but the show still goes on, so to speak. Over the last two years it seems that there have been more and more dead soldiers brought back to life. It's sometimes hard to revive them though. An exceptionally low water table and a normally high precipitation rate doesn't make it easy to keep the pools empty. Although, two full summers (and working on a third) of drought-like conditions have really helped the team out. These moisture-free seasons have also produced huge wildfires that can also be a benefactor. Sorry about the pool guru cool guy talk, there is plenty of that being spoken anyway! Plain and simple, we have been really lucky as of late. I think the tally is up to somewhere around 14 pools. That's not rock star status apparently but it's pretty damn good! Especially for a lonely little town in the SOUTH EAST none the less. I am going to attempt to expose some of our shit. Maybe tell the story of its coming about, etc. Personally I wish that I could produce a picture of every person from every session because all of my asshole friends stoke me the crap out. Who knows, failing miserably at writing about pools that got drained and skated is a victory all in itself. Hopefully some body will get the message: We are about pools and we want to share them with our fuckin bros. EAT SHIT FUCKHOLE!!!!!! Dave Libhart |
