You no tell me front grind, guy.

KB, Ozzie and I met up with Aaron Astorga on Saturday for a little pool mission. The first one was a bust, but rolled to another big amoeba shape and took a few turns in it.

Bruce Brown R.I.P.

Bruce Brown’s name is permanently scribed into the concrete deck at this close to perfect right had kidney, so Ozzie coined it as Bruce Brown’s pool. I was fortunate to hit this one a few times with some good dudes. Unfortunately, the house is now on the market, been fully re-landscaped and the pool transformed from a skaters paradise to a desert oasis.

Many skaters stay away from the desert areas because of the heat. However, I have– more than– a few friends that go wherever the pools are. Their thinking is quite the opposite of those that sit by the ‘beach cities’ & complain. I have pool pals back East that drive several hours & shovel snow in order to ride pools. I guess its simply a matter of being spoiled. Lets face it…California skaters have a ‘golden ticket’. Its all here & always has been. Sometimes though, you must earn it! Recently, a great crew from Orange County & the surrounding areas, got together & drove out into the heat of Coachella Valley. They cleaned, swept & prepared the pools, then tore it up. The heat was a secondary consideration & the bullnose coping took a brutal pounding that day. I saw more smiles & progression than I had seen in quite some time. That is really what its all about…isn’t it? Skate-Ozzie
