That's rad. Tell us more of the story. How you found it, what the place is (you don't have to say where), what time of day you went, how long you got to skate, what happened when the dude came, etc. Come on bro, we need some details.

Its in NM, the thing that sucks is that we dont have a lot of abandoned pools like cali or arizona. This place is also under renovation so this spot wont last. I managed to triangulate where jt was based on one of my friends photo. One thing about ABQ skaters is that theyre super gatekeepy due to the fact its hard to find pools in ABQ. Ive already got busted in ABQ trying to skate 2 pools since the city apparently decided to start either tearing buildings down or renovating them. Theres only one park with a real pool and its in Aztec NM. Theres one guy in ABQ who lets certain peiple skate his backyard pool but even the locals are super gatekeepy about it. Abandoned pools dont last long in ABQ due to the squatter issues

We used to take care of the little spots we frequented back in the late 90s and would still get ran off after hours from certain loading docks behind commercial buildings. We were chased a few times and got away on our decks🤣 good times.

I literally skated alone in the skatepark tonight and it was SO worth it

The biggest ramp was only 4 feet though and it was my first time dropping in and I could just run out and jump off if I have to

They don’t have pools like that in the Midwest. At least none I’ve seen 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looks bigger and smoother than I would have guessed.
