over the last decade most of the best shoulder rides have been in private pools not at beaches, concerts or other locations.

Re: location

True.  The problem is that at private pools, few people take safety precautions such as having umpires and others to keep "horse" and rider away from the pool's edge during chicken fights. Therefore, sometimes the rider (or ridress) hits his or her head on the side of the pool and dies. True, this happens seldom but even one time is one time too many so why not use safety precautions? We could escape the consequence 999/1000 times and then put it on the gravestone of the ridress that she escaped the consequence 999/1000 times.

What starts out as fun often ends up as trouble when we are careless. So when we have fun let us be wise and apply the lessons learned by others.

Re: location

Absolutely right!  We should all be grateful for your warning.  I once saw a rider hit her head on the edge of a pool as she was falling, and she was lucky not to lose consciousness or have a serious injury.  It was just a scratch, but scalp wounds apparently tend to bleed, and it was kind of scary for awhile.  Riding in pools is great, but it's important to STAY IN THE MIDDLE!

Thanks!

Re: location

I think the beach, off shore a few meters is safer than in a pool IF there are no rip tides or other strong currents, there is no frequency of sharks or other predators, this is not against the law in that area, there are no gangsters trying to claim that beach as their own exclusive territory as in the case of gangsters also known as California surfers (some, not all), etc.  Yes this is all obvious but what is amazing is that many people fail to think of the obvious so often.

Turkey must be more civilized than California.

Such attractive ridresses you have too such as Yeliz Yesilem. What does "Yeliz" mean? "Happiness" as does mean the Spanish word, "feliz?"

no special meaning, just a female name. but indeed, she is a very beautiful woman:) but in common, Turkey is becoming into a more conservative country day by day, the scenes i used so see when i was a boy seem to disappear day by day. sad( when i was about  10 years old, we had a cottage in the seaside just about 10 meters to the sea. It was very shallow until 100-200 metres into the sea. In the weekends, people came to the shore spend their time ther. lots of chicken fights used to take place. i even had trouble to catch the scene with my eyes, while watching a couple, i could see other girls falling down when i turned my head.

Re: location

Are there now laws against shoulder riding or chicken fighting at this beach or against women wearing bikinis or is it that most people are now against these activities?

What consequence would occur if you chose to do these things with gals in bikinis?

Re: location

I'm afraid that it is the steadily strengthening impact of islamism in Turkey which tends to forbid public shoulder rides, mainly of Girls on boys,  Women on men ! Please, Lunarstrain, correct me if I'm wrong. I wish I would be wrong, but, alas, there are many other areas where religious intolerance is growing in Turkey, at the sole benefit of islamism, not Islam, which is tolerant, but islamism, which is not !

You are %100 correct about it my friend. In some places of anatolia, women and girls are even not allowed to go outside. As i live in Istanbul, i don't witness these kind of things, but i know  it is common in the eastern parts of Turkey. The mediterranean shores of Turkey, like Antalya, Bodrum are still modern, thats because of tourism being the main source of income.

That conservation issue bothers me so much, and i'm feeling sorry for my country. But i think there may be hope.
