D.I.Y.

Skaters are pretty notorious for embracing the D.I.Y. ethic. You know, get it done by any means necessary so you can skate and have a good time. Don't wait around for someone to hold your hand and do it for you. Just have fun and GO DO IT!! In this case, Wrex Cook and a handful of close friends take it upon themselves to to dig out and skate their backyard pool! They had no idea of what the pool would look like or if it would even be good. Thats the chance you gotta take sometimes. Though as history shows us, a high percentage of Arizona pools are good skateable gems!! So with that fact lying in the back of their minds, the work was put in via Hand shovels and a tractor. If there is a will, there is a way! The work that was put into "The Relic" paid off as this pool was a good one! Pointing more towards the Gnarly side of pools this one saw a lot of grinds, airs and photographs and was enjoyed by many before it's refilling a couple years later! Thanx Wrex and friends for the D.I.Y. stoke!!
