Riding bowls and pools is another challenging and exciting genre of skating. This book gets readers comfortable with riding in pools and takes them from simple techniques and tricks through to more advanced ones. Whether skating empty pools or enjoying the smoother ride skaters find in specially built concrete or wooden bowls in their local skate parks, skaters at all levels of expertise can enjoy this built terrain. Once readers are schooled on safety gear and how bowl and pool skating differ from other kinds of skating, they are ready to learn slides, carving, basic grinds, stalls, and airs.
