It turns out, the sunloungers in the abandoned pool aren't for sunlounging, nor for nightswimming.The mountain-biking crew haul planks of wood into the pool and use the loungers as jump-ramps.
There were three bikes taking turns yesterday: one honed his jumping skills while the other two traced infinity symbols from the shallow end to the deep end and back again.
Now that is a creative use of space.

Continuing in a great tradition.
Don't know if you saw Lords of Dogtown, based on the Z-boys? Basically, the origin of skateboarding in West Coast US. Empty swimming pools played a key role - early skateboarders used them for developing and honing the early moves and tricks that are now a staple part of the skateboard canon.
Say it with me" "cule"!
