Remember the video of those guys searching for and skating abandoned pools in Fresno due to all the foreclosed homes in the area, and the subsequent (and bizarre) Al Jazeerah report on the issue?

Well some dude from LA is making a documentary on the whole “phenomenon” (is it really one?). Scope out the trailer after the break.

Interesting that the trailer seems to focus more on housing than skateboarding.

Yeah, the trailer seems to be half and half. Curious what angle the full docu will take.

I wrote about the pool skating stuff in my column a couple weeks ago and interviewed this guy about the documentary.

Thanks for finding the trailer. I hadn’t seen it yet.

I will be interesting to see how the documentary turns out! :)
