The Skate Rats
The
Rat Hole
The
Rat Hole was a great pool in downtown Pensacola at an old and at
the time closed down motel. The name of the motel was Townhouse
Motor Court and for a time it was okay for us to skate and then
they decided they didn't want us there. It was a gathering place
for people from all around the area.
I
am going to try to remember all the names of those who I knew that
skated there: I hope I remember correctly.
Marty
-- Excellent pool and freestyle skater. Incredibly smooth and talented
skater. Could do almost everything and made it look easy.
Don-
Great guy and fun. Once skated the pool with a towel Cape, and would
try to grab an OJ box at the top of his kickturn. Very good using
the pool as a half-pipe.
BobLynch
Cam-
Wild and Crazy guy, total go for it attitude. Great skater. Saw
years later skating in the Daytona area skating a park.
