We were not pool skaters.
We had streets and curbs and ramps that we made.
So everywinter , we would skate the pool at City Terrace Park.
It was not all cool like in the skate videos or like in the movies.
We had to jump the fence , try and sweep up as much chlorine as possible.
But that pool was layered in Chlorine, so when skated the trail of chlorine would trail behind us, it was super toxic.
I was not very good in those days but felt that these type of opportunities were not always available.
So I would always try out my vert skills, but I was a street skater so it was just not that much fun for me.
The street skaters would always eventually get bored and go find stuff to skate at the park.
My friend that had just moved in to the neighborhood climbed the fence to the roof of the pool .
And we all started skating the roof.
This is what it looks like today.
It was so fast.(It runs from the park pool all the way down to the other side)
But the best and fastest spot is from the pool to just past the restrooms in the basketball court.
If you are ever in the area, and have your huevos on.
This is a fun place to sk8 (The pool was fun)
But the rooftops , fun ...fun...fun....
Watch out for the chota, cause they don't play.
Evilchavo sk8 the roof!
