The Bricks & SPoT Ybor 6 Year Anniversary Party Coverage
Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2016 by Chris
6 Years of partying rolled up into one night and you know it's gonna be lit. Bands, beers, BBQ, art and skating: all the things that make up our chill spot - The Bricks, and our second shop in Ybor. Thanks to Vans for making it happen and thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years.

The Bricks and SPoT Ybor did it and made it another year, 6 years in the books! We had a great staff with us and even greater day ahead of us. Bands, booze and good times!
First thing on our agenda was skate Turtle Ditch and give out some money. Thats Brad, the Vans Event coordinator for the east coast, he’s the one putting up stickers and helping us get these event planned. He’s (b)radical!
Allen Russell, The King of Ybor, isn’t just the best ramp builder and person alive, he’s also one hell of a ripper. FS Blunt.
Before we started packing up, Tim decided to go mad man on us and basically drop in on this fence. Wow.
Centennial Park: we all know this spot and wish it was skate-able. Well someone was kind enough to build a ledge for the top and took off the skate stoppers on some of the rails! It was a dream com true for about an hour.
Tim is a savage, he hit numbers of tricks on this thing but the Kickflip Boardslide could be an NBD.
Finally the night we have all been waiting for! People were lining up to get in The Bricks and celebrate.
It was already packed and only 8pm! Good luck getting that drink quickly, just order two to be safe.
Put on your grill face. Skewers of all shapes and colors. Anthony Alt: the man behind The Bricks food.
After the bands finished up outside, we had a few hip hop artists play on stage inside. Lots of local artists killing it.
Carissa was killing it, Hula Hooping between rappers keeping the crowd occupied - get happy and join the club - hoolaforhappiness.org
