The Pipe...

I have heard about the infamous Full Pipe under the city of Austin for a few years now.  It's about damn time that we caught some carves on that baby.

Adam and I got some lights from a job site we were working on, and talked about using them to light up the pipe. I love the feeling you get when you are climbing down into a full pipe with flashlights, not knowing what you are going to find. And then when the thing you were looking for turns out to be ever better than expected... even better.

the real pool party

   

    Why is riding a swimming pool so enjoyable? Not the swimming pool that they built at the skatepark, but an actual swimming pool. They are usually awkward and tight, chipped up and slippery, sometimes nearly impossible to ride, but the 6 hours of hard work for 8 people, seems like a no brainer.

    If you have ever spent the time to bucket out hundreds and hundreds of gallons of water from an old swimming pool because it has 2 measly feet of transition in half of it, you probably understand the feeling you get from the whole situation as a whole, not just the riding aspect.

Pool Party

Mark got a lead on a pool down South in a kids grandmothers backyard or something. I had been hearing about it and happened to come around on the day it was going to get scoped out. Jumped into the back of a truck and hit the highway.


We got there and the pool was filled with water. I guess it could have went either way. a few guys talked about aborting mission, and some just said fuck it  and got to cleaning..


once the pumping started there was no turning back, we were all in it for the long haul. Just pulling water out one bucket at a time.




We spent the entire day just bucketing water out of the pool. and right when the sun went down we finally got it fully drained. It was slimy and wet  but some of us just couldn't resist a couple of carves..It was pretty tricky to ride.
