Donald Oregon pool collage

Here’s a few pics from a short May of 2006 session at Donald Oregon’s bowl that some say is the best fake pool built for skateboarding out there. Skaters names, clickable thumbs and a bonus stencil art shot after the jump.

This is one of the better looking solid paint colors for a skateboard photo session in a bowl. Click the pics to enlarge. Mark Conahan grinds in the deep end.

    You know ! This whole pools vs. skate pools delima is total bullshit.This lame ass photog I know brings this up all the time. A swimming pool is a bowl of water with a pump and a filter. If a pool does not have one an external one can be added .If you go to a pool co.They will sell you anything. The only “swimming pools” you hear were good have more skatestyle tranny. Therefore was it built for swimming ?Or was there a surfer skater on the crew who helped the tranny be more skateable? As far as donald goes . Thank you dreamland for giving the locals up here a real fun pool to skate in. I would take a dreamland POOL over any other! And if you wouldnt go back to where you came from.

    Yeah, but if you’re skating a pool and no one is there to call the cops do your grinds make a sound?

    Yes, but only if a butterfly lands on the coping and it starts raining in Trafalgar Square…
