Another hot & humid summer day in Florida, but it was special because we hosted the Andale’ Bearing's Wheelie Dope manual contest. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but that’s what made this event so special.
Our main guy for all things construction, the King of Ybor (Allen Russel), built us two brand spankin’ new manual pads just for this contest.
Victor Souza was cruising around outside properly doing a Texas Plant in a Texas Flag T shirt… and he’s even from Texas. Pride, much?
This is Danny from Connecticut; it was his first time at Skatepark of Tampa. He had a great attitude and was stoked to be having a great time filming!
Andalé sent us a rad piñata to smash up after the contest. Things got a little sketchy when Schaefer tried to string it up.
Marse Farmer has been working with us for a couple months now, and if you don’t know he seriously kills it on a skateboard. Tail slide Bigspin up on over the manual pad for practice.
Small obstacles usually mean that you’re going run into someone, but you can’t get your panties in a bunch! Uncle Sam and Robby hug it out.
Uncle Sam is the most creative skater we’ve ever met (besides Daewon Song). He rips everything in sight. For example, this backside tail nose manual shuv.
Jonathan Conde had the illest shirt on of the day, and plenty of manual skill too! Manual Revert to get things started.
Eric was murdering it. Nollie half-cab flip switch manual revert. This is a prime example of how he took the win.
We tried to have people do a manual while trying to break the piñata, but things got a little sketchy.
