Even though I had lived in Solana beach, the first year I moved to San Diego back in 2003 I never knew about this school. I found this school just a few weeks ago and just started messing around on the ledge to see what I could do. Then I started looking at other aspects of the spot like the huge roots coming out of the ground in the center of the planter and the side ledge. The rails at the entrance of the school did not have much runway but they were still skate able too. I had my tricks all planned out and wanted to start filming the next day.

I called up a few people to get a session together at 12 the next day but nobody could skate. I was juiced though and I had the day off. So I set out on my own with my tripod, camera, broom, and wax. I did this edit on my own filming, editing and skating.

Quoting Nick Wood:
"Steve Steinmetz, the "New Spot Steve", named for obvious reasons, is the guide on the north coast of San Diego and if you hook up with him he is very generous with his spots."
