Let's kick this off with pools. There are so many wild-shaped ones in the Cult part. How did you even find all of those?
It's been crazy because this has been the craziest year for pools in Vancouver I've ever seen. They're just fucking everywhere. I don't know if it's something to do with housing crisis, just how fast things are being flipped. The blue E pool, I was walking my dog with my sister, her fiancé and my mom and we found that. I rappelled from a second story with a rope into that pool at 1:30 AM, opened the door, and then we got about six sessions on it.
The indoor square one that was really good to ride–we had eyes on that thing ten years ago, and the building just looked rundown. And then I went by there this past winter, and I looked in the window and I could see the pool. I would always just try the door because it's a maintenance room. I went there like three times and the doors were just locked. And then one Sunday, the door was just open. There was probably seven of us and we rode it for an hour. And then I opened a window that you could climb through, and we got nine or ten sessions out of it because they couldn't figure out how we were getting in.
That one with the island in it was one of Dean Dickinson's pools, and I've been trying to hit that for so long. I was finally rolling through Portland, and we just hit it. My knee is all fucked right now, But I just strapped it up, because that pool's crazy.
So that was the most recent clip?
Yeah, it was from last Saturday (a week before the video was released). I think it's also the amount of work you put in, will be the number of pools you're going to get. I've just been kind of tweaking out on pools lately.
You got the setup for draining them.
Yeah, we've been running electric pumps also. I can run three off my generator; we can pump a pool in four to five hours from the top. That's been a game changer because now we can hit pools that have no power. You can't really run gas pumps in Vancouver; it's just too loud. The U.S. is different.
There were quite a number of pool ladder setups.
I guess there's a bunch. This is the season for ladders, I guess. It's weird how pools are like that. I don't know why, but right now, the trend has been we're finding really good shallow ends.
That DIY barrier setup was a good way to wallride your van.
That was just filming with Gregson. We came across that spot, and I got two big ass dents in my van now; it kind of sucks (Laughter). I wallrode it on two separate occasions.
