STEVE ALBA'S POOLS

Feature: 9.6SE

Life / Skate

Once I’ve skated a pool, I never forget it. That is what separates me from all the others. I have been skateboarding in the Badlands for 38 years now, and through all the cities, and all the backyard pools I have ridden, somehow I have retained a mental map of them all. When I drive the grid searching, certain things will trip my memory: a specific house, a street, a cul-de-sac. This is how I came to rediscover The Snowman.
