Tristan Rennie and Salba Lead Backyard Pool Missions | Spot to Spot – The PLATFRM
A master of notoriously tight transitions, Tristan Rennie was raised skating in backyard pools to become one of the best to ever do it. Inviting the crew to tag along, Tristan Rennie and Steve Alba lead us on a two-pool mission around the San Bernardino area to skate Ridiculous Pool and Bottom of the Hill.
“Because it was ridiculously good for the time,” says Tristan of the naming origins of the first spot. Complete with a brief history of the pool’s access over the years, a few of his own childhood memories and a short list of pros who have clipped up there, from “Tony Hawk to Guy Mariano,” in Tristan’s view, “It is one of the most iconic pools in modern skateboarding.”
After making quick work of the Ridiculous Pool and firing up the squad — Yuro Nagahara, Eric Hutchinson, Jesse Lindloff, Hampus Winberg and Shota Mizote — a few of the crew break off from the session to finish things off at Bottom of the Hill. Don’t worry, we got the naming origins of that one, too.
Raw Pool Skating with Jesse Lindloff and Salba | Spot to Spot – The Platfrm
Raw and without filter, Jesse Lindloff invites us along for a day of backyard pools and everything that comes with it. “What you see is what you get,” he says. Kicking things off in San Bernardino, Jesse hits a new pool with the help of Steve Alba showing him the pin and proper carve grind. The crew gets clips over the triple horse fish and the cake stack before taking off to hit two more pools by the day’s end—but not without a few busts along the way.
After draining out putrid waters, grinding through overgrown grass on the coping and a few pics to add to his future coffee table book of pool photos; they hit the final spot with a rub brick and a dose of lacquer so Jesse can stack a clip he’s tried for in the past.
