Here is a night session at the nude bowl. This is a tough pool to skate. Check out Dave Ruel going frontside and backside around the steps at the beginning and Brian Patch doing just about everything else throughout the end of this video clip.

Here is a little History on the Nude Bowl. Located in the hills outside of Palm Springs, the Nude bowl has been a legendary skateboarding spot since the late 1970’s. The name comes from what this place used to be, a nudist camp. The buildings are now in complete ruin, but the pool is kept in perfect condition with exception to the graffiti.

It has been buried and unburied a few times to skateboard over the past 10 years for special sessions but then it got covered back up again.

The nude bowl was famous skateboarding pool for about 20 years. They buried and and around 2000 Bluetorch went out there and dugg it out and reskated it. The Nude Bowl is a kidney shaped swimming pool that was at the nudist resort the Desert Gardens Ranch hence the name the nude bowl. It is located outside of Desert Hot Springs California. Here we have a video clip of El Gato skateboarding the nude bowl in the late 80’s.
