Turning 33 can be both a major accomplishment and a terrifying reality check for a lot of pool skaters

One of the best things about skateboarding is how, even in the middle of a desolate expanse of desert at an abandoned pool, you can meet a group of skateboarders who begin as strangers and end as good friends.
Having the opportunity to skate the water park was like no other and I knew I couldn’t pass it up. The loop is a lot bigger and scarier in person but damn it was fucking sick! Good friends, good vibes and big water slides.
This year ‘Las Chicas’ had their gathering at the one and only Nude Bowl in desert hot springs. All crews had their tents pitched up and got ready to shred. On the first day during the day the skate conditions were favorable, but on the second day the afternoon clouds rolled in and light droplets of H2O started to come down and were persistent all through the night.
At least once a year in South Australia, Simon Sac puts on an event, this time it was different, instead of a ramp jam at West Beach, he put on a pipe jam out at a pipe in the desert.
