D*Face Ridiculous Pool Paint attack
What happens when you fix an aerosol paint can underneath a skateboard, and let people skate in a pool?
Spirograph vandalism …
Experimental and slightly mental. The D*Face spray paint skateboard interface. What better way to paint the pool then letting everyone get involved? With high-tech remotely controlled spray can apparatus mounted to the underside of skateboards…every line a skater took became the paint job of the pool.
The year planning is because of the complexity of making the tech remote control spray can apparatus…not for planning a pool skate party…haha…it’s my pool…we paint it and skate it all the time…no one needs to clean it…do a search for RIDICULOUS pool skateboarding to see other sessions.

Cannonball by California is a place.
Short film on skateboarders in California utilising drained swimming pools, in areas where the economic breakdown caused lots of foreclosures:
Some of them are full of black water. Others have become graveyards for old lawn furniture and rodent carcasses. They are shaped like jelly beans and manufactured by companies named Sunny Side and Champagne. Once upon a time, Fresno was the California Dream. Own a car. Own a house. Own a pool. Everyone wanted it and the wonderful world of credit made it all possible. But now, with the foreclosure monster running wild, the dream is dry. Thousands of pools are festering in the hot Central Valley sun. For most people this is tragic. But for some, it’s an opportunity.
