100 Degrees in the Shade

2 hours each way in the car in 100+ degree temps just to make it to this session - if it wasn't Scott's 46th I probably would have passed, which would have been a bad call since this session was pretty epic - when was the last time you saw a 46 year old w/ a blue Mohawk throw down a Smith grind in a BY pool? That's what I thought.....

Speaking of old you know that's what you're gettin' when you ask for photos for a blog post and then it takes you so long to get it done that Mr. 559 has to do it himself - thanks to Jamie Camp for taking photos - nice to be in front of the lens for a change - click the link and enjoy the show:

May-hem Day

While the masses around the world used May Day to protest the global economic crisis, we were mining its silver lining at a foreclosed pool home in Tulare, despite the protestations of some local folk - that May Day mojo got a mind of its own....... FOTOS: RUNAWAY

Half Empty or Half Full-erton??

Spring is here and that can only mean one thing - time to get the pump out and empty those pools - thanks to the subprime slaughter there's so much to choose from this year - take this one for instance:

Just grab yourself a 6.5hp water pump w/ a 2" intake:

and you can ride this thing in no time:

When you get bored just go around the corner and start all over again.....
