SPoT Employee of the Month Party - February 2016

Posted on Monday, March 21, 2016 by Chris

For the February employee of the month celebration, we invited everyone who was a part of our Tampa Pro staff to the park and made them the recipients of the award since they all killed it so hard. We fired up the grill for some tasty grub, put some beers on ice, and let the good times roll. Oh yeah, we can’t forget how Coppertail Brewing Co., a local Tampa Bay brewer, came through with a free keg of their finest beer. Does it get any better than a free keg of beer? We don’t think so. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the 22nd Annual Tampa Pro contest, we couldn’t have done it without you! Until next time.

The drinks and good times were flowing. Thanks again Coppertail!

This new wallride obstacle is a product of the Converse concrete rebuild. Luckily it’s now one of the funnest things to skate here at the park. Derick Wynn puts in a tall order with this wallride.
