This Franks For Nothing started in Winter Haven Florida, with team riders Eric Mckenney and James Cobb, guest Joe Santy, and Frank Branca.
We went to this classic downhill spot to 10 stair on the mission for James. Here he got a line into a half cab down the set.
This is the Amphitheater in downtown Winter Haven on the water. Glad we went here because it was a fun spot with many things to skate.
This is one of the many other spots we didn't have time to hit. Unlike many want to believe, Winter Haven has a lot of spots.
Joe owned this spot, and ended with a wallride on the back of this TV thanks to his friends' support. Joining us with the white hat was Harry Chippas, another local who brought great commentary and showed us the secret spots.
This was an abandoned skatepark Harry showed us, and it had unbelievably bad ground. The only thing that remains is this hip and a large bank ramp for speed. Eric blasted a backsideflip and later a big flip on this thing.
This curved rail was a legendary spot - Andrew Reynolds first 50-50'd this thing in 1996 in 411 Four Wheel Drive. Joe does a front board early pop out.
