Another back tail from Axel. This time on the bump to ledge.

Name someone else that has switch back tail down a circle rail in the middle of their Tampa Pro semi-finals run on lock down. Don't worry, we'll wait...
Shout out to Volcom for the tees to Keep Tampa Stoned. I wonder if homie knows the medium sticker is still on his back? Hopefully someone told him!

Jamie Foy taped the seam of Skatelite so he could hit this rail fakie all weekend.

Nyjah made his flight and this switch flip front board
then came right back for the kickflip back smith

You can almost see how hot it was in here!
All smiles and mall grabs from Vincent
This is the one that sealed it for Jamie. Front crook to front feeble to end his winning run.
He knew he won.
Switch flip back tail from Felipe
Nollie flip crook was not an issue for Felipe
Nobody else was heelflipping into tricks like Kairi Netsuke. Heelflip front nose is quite the manuever.
Well there was Yuto heelflipping into front boards...switch
Let's look at one more kickflip from Vincent

These goggles are sick. Who is this guy?!
I lied, here is another look at Vincent's kickflip into the China bank
Kickflip front lip from Vincent for the judges to end his finals run.
He didn't roll away from it, but Alex Midler almost got a gap to back noseblunt on the rail. It was INSANE
The best part of Tampa Pro is standing up here and looking behind you to this sea of people waiting to see who won the contest.
The comedy never ends with Taylor Clark.

Lucas loves the people and the people love Lucas!
Skatelite really hooked us up this year. Thank you so much to the team for resurfacing our course.

Travis didn't know what to say with the mic, but his face said it all. Your 2022 Bromander is Travis Monroe!

Felipe's career started here and certainly isn't ending here.
Felipe's father sold their family car and brought Felipe to America to skate in Tampa Am 2007. Felipe was unheard of and won the contest - now Felipe Gustavo is a household name. The two of them joined the stage to claim his 4th place award together.
Felipe threw his board into the crowd so we got a photo of the dude that caught it!
Time to name out top 3. Jake Ilardi was hyped being part of the 2 Florida skaters to hop on the podium.
The crowd was PUMPED!
Vincent, Jamie, and Jake hug it out before the top 3 are announced

Jake took 3rd overall! Closer to the top!!
The anticipation was killing us. Jamie and Vincent holding on before we found out the 1st and 2nd place winners.
The love was strong on this day. Let's go!
