THC, (did you even realize your initials did that?)

Pool skating's not my thing. It was over & done with by the time I started skating so I never got into it. Street's my element & that's where I stay. I can appreciate vert 'cuz I like big air, but I've still yet to learn to appreciate pool skating. Certain guys are real fun to watch, but mostly guys just kinda carve & pump around the corners & that doesn't turn me on. It's like watching Bam carve lines around FDR, at some point you wanna see something different.

If you get video though, post it. I wanna see it.

Jester, if you ever find an empty pool make sure to try it out. Its so different than anything else and so much fun. I've tried bowl skating at parks but never really got into it. Theres just something about skating something not made for skating but is absolutely perfect. All the transitions are different and some are super tight. It adds some excitement to go up one wall with super smooth tranny then go down another thats sketchy sas hell. I think its kinda like surfing, boring to watch cuz there are no real tricks but so much fun to do. i dont have a camera but my friend said he wants to come and film it. hopefully i can get coping, film it, and have a bunch of fun before they demolish it.

Hey Fred,

Yeah, I'm still flatlanding when I can. I'm working more on my flip tricks & manual combos lately, but I still throw 50/50's & caspers to warm up. How 'bout you?

I havn't been doing it as much lately, infact I havn't been skating as much lately either. In between school and working I don't really have the time, and when I do I'm too tired. Its approaching winter so hopefully I'll get a bit more done then... hopefully.
