Read a couple of interesting articles on the return of pool skating in the US over at Radcollector.com and the NY Times. Seems due to the financial crisis and the foreclosure of a lot of houses, swimming pools are being drained. This is resulting in kids climbing over fences of abandoned houses in search of a great skateboarding. It even seems skaters are heading to the US from across the globe in order to enjoy the authentic drained pools.

In this day and age it even seems kids are very resourcefull when it comes to finding abandoned pools. They’re surfing the web in search of real estate that’s for sale or use Google Earth. The aerial photos give them an idea where to find drained pools. At Skateandannoy.com, skateboard fanatic also share all relevant info with each other.
