Pools of the past revisited....

Hermann's Hole would not be the deep poolish bowl it is today if it were not for our west coast pool skating roots.

On a recent field study Hermann's Hole locals traveled west to rediscover these old holes they rode years ago to see what they look like today.

It was discovered that these pits had not been fully maintained, and were in need of a little spring cleaning.

One old round wall lair was excavated, and thoroughly disected.

Samples were collected, and dead animal carcases were found along with over 100 boulders.

Pools come & go.... Some easy & some hard.

Some pools even come back again, and again, long after they're gone.

Sadly most of these pools will never be skated in again.

Durability was tested, and approved for now.



Pool skating is the best form of skateboarding.

Art facts.


The Louvre was originally constructed as the fortress of Philippe Auguste in 1190.

Van Gogh cut off part of his ear because he was drunk & trying to impress a woman.

The word horizontal is derived from the word horizon.

A line that directly from left to right or right to left, is horizontal.

If you mix red and blue you get purple.

Yellow and blue make green.

Blue, red, and yellow are primary colors.

Green and purple are secondary colors.

Warming up the concrete.

Sunday was the first big outdoor Hermann's Hole skate session for a good while. I was just out cleaning the place up, and a dozen skaters showed up to warm the bowls.... After being locked in away from the cold all season, nicer weather created a spontaneous skateboarder explosion on the last day of February.
