Depends on the size , shape and texture . You never know what you're getting into . I actually prefer older , empty abandoned pools from the 70's & 80's . There's quite a few around where I live and are kept on a total " Double Secret Probation " . Last thing you want is a new gem of a spot to be blown out by asshole kids that aren't even skating it , and fucking it up for the people that took the time to clean it out and make it skateable .
About 5-6 years ago we had the " Pirate Pool " , which was a left-hand kidney shaped pool that I swear to this day had the best pool tile to grind in my life . No one took pictures , no one told anyone about it , and it was skated for a solid 2 years . Then..someone squealed about it , we know who after a few years . And a few younger kids that never rode a pool a day in their lives tried to drop-in . One of the kids wrecked himself hard and had to be transported by Ambulance . The Police in that town asked to city to fill it in and we lost a great spot .
