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

Jodie Foster’s Army.

Going at it for close to 30 years and still ripping.

JFA recently shot a video for their new song, Danny Sargeant’s Trucks at Punker’s Pool. CD has full coverage of that event here: http://www.concretedisciples.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=28&topic=9092

Best of Buena.

Desert Gems.

KB and I meet up with Blue Tile Ozzie and Sean at Ridiculous then headed out towards the desert for a little pool mission. We met Doug and Jake and they were kind enough to take us to a few of their gems. I only got a few shots, but handed the camera off to Ozzie and he killed it.

Pretty much one of the best days of skating I have had in a long while. Everyone was on point, ripping and smiles all around. Huge thanks to everybody for an epic day and thanks Ozzie for sharing the camera duties. Find ’em and grind ’em!
