As we all know, cali's being hit hard right now with foreclosures. Luckily (for skateboarders), the state is awash in suburban houses with seamlessly designed swimming pools. According to this NYTimes article, skateboarders are flocking to places like Fresno to hunt down the pools, drain them, and skate them. This is like dogtown and z-boys all over again, except better. When the droughts hit in the 70's, skaters had to sneak into empty backyard pools during the day when people were at work. Now, they can go whenever they want and not worry about getting barged in on during heated shred sesh's. Skateboarders can keep their day jobs and still skate the holy grails of skate! And by draining the pools of the fetid, algae ridden water, disease-infused-super-rodents and tennis-ball-sized-mosquitoes are disappearing from suburbia! The world may be saved after all!
