Quick Miami Trip

I've wanted to check out Grand Central Park in downtown Miami ever since filming an episode of Franks for Nothing with Danny Fuenzalida. Grand Central Park is a DIY skate spot built by Miami locals, which is producing a ton of up-and-coming skaters that probably wouldn't have ever touched a board if not for the park. When I came across the flyer for the Organized Madness contest presented by Asphalt Yacht Club a few weeks ago on my Instagram feed, I knew this was a perfect opportunity to load up the team and head south.

This guy was wondering where all these skateboarders came from. That’s Felix Arguelles and Joel Meinholz in the background.
The park dried up so I snapped this photo and put my camera away to skate the contest with the crew.
Dylan Perry kickflips right before a normal Miami afternoon shower. Check out Dylan's Sketchy Magic: Miami Edition from this trip.
