Fullerton College Plunge, August 2009

The original Fullerton College pool was slated for demolition Summer 2009. The situation was monitored closely so we could time our cultural assault after the drain and before the demolition. The collective wait to ride this was over 20 years. Our window opened. Cameras rolling we went into action discovering what 20 years of wait was hidding under all that chlorinated tourquoise water from our not to young bags of battered bones and premangled flesh. The pool was gnarly, steep, kinked and we had to stay as quiet as possible because of campus security. We rode it a few times and documentation occured. A photo & video exhibition of this work is planned for later this year, check back for more info.
