Beautiful survey of SoCal pools used for skateboarding.”No pools have the same shape as they were built to fit each backyard of the houses or its land features … Anthony’s are good for grinding because its coping is big and makes it more stable. Baker’s are a bit more challenging for their long vertical. No pools can beat Blue Heaven’s for its total balance in shallow (shallow area of pool), surface, coping, and transition …Wheels have left their traces in the beautiful and sad landscape. Such a landscape surprisingly makes sense to me”.
