George Street Pool, Charleston, SC
If you rode a skateboard in the mid 80’s in Charleston, SC,
chances are good that you left some flesh on the walls of “The Pool”.
Here is a tribute to the place and the people of that beautiful,
long lost time.

Kevin,
I have been looking for pictures or any kind of memories of the George Street Pool. I cannot believe you have put this video together. I can remember skating here during one of the contests at the Gaillard, I must have been all of 12 or 13 years old at the time. This was the most amazing place to skate in Charleston at the time. I was actually competing in the contest and came in 2nd place - Peanut Brown was one of the judges. I can remember the police chasing us out as well. Amazing to see a shot of former Police Chief Greenberg on the scene.
This video brings back so many great memories of the skate culture we grew up with and helped shape today.
I live in Charleston today and have told many friends about the bowl - most cannot believe that we ever had such a thing. I am glad to see that someone felt passionate enough about thrashing days of the past and display them here.
Thank you for the memories!
Sincerely,
Bobby Pilch
Kevin, This is a great film!!! Thanks!!!
