The gang is all here! Locals and out of towners catching up on the deck before going all in at Harvest Jam 2022
Shiloh Catori, one of the newest editions to the SPoT team, hits the kink rail replacement with a front 50
I think this might be the best part of a front late shuv that you can capture. The twist before it looks like you're falling. Either way - Hunter George has them on lock.
Our friends at Ultra Slappy Wax setup in the courtyard and provided wax for the prize packs. As always - thanks for supporting SPoT over the years!
Marble Orchard brought a heft squad and setup in the courtyard to show support. Thanks for coming out guys!
One of my favorite photos from the day. I've shot this photo of Messiah a few times over the years but this is his best kickflip to date. His style is really developing!
Look at all of the homies that showed up for the contest! Harvest Jam has to be my favorite All Ages Contest of the year.
Brandon Reed with a flawless run. Front Feeble down the rail and into 1st place of the 13-15 division
It's the return of Brooke McIntosh. Every time Brook shows up she skates the course back and forth with a smile on her face followed by a run ending cartwheel. Thanks for bringing the good vibes Brooke!
Karis is actually a terminator. She broke her arm a few weeks ago, had staples, cast removed, and was back on her board two weeks after the break. She is nuts and brings the stoke!
It's not a contest without support from our non-profit Boards for Bros. Thanks for holding it down Michael!
Every time I see a gold helmet on the kahuna I know Taylor Burnett is about to bring the heat. Full speed ollie down the four block from Taylor landing her in second place in the Women's Division
I'm 90% sure that Shiloh learn back crooks in the middle of her run. It paid off - first overall in the Women's Division to end the year out with a bang!
D has the best smile and is super supportive of the ladies. So stoked that she has been coming to the park regularly and participating in all ages events. Great seeing you D!!
We gave out our end of the year awards and Michelle Tancos took MOTY (Mom of the Year). She was out of town for the contest but luckily Josh was there to accept on her behalf.
Josh and his mother Michelle have been super supportive of Boards for Bros the past few years. Congratulations to Josh for being our Jr. Bromander!
Brandon Reed was destroying every obstacle on the course. Well deserved first overall in the 13-15 Division.
Mason didn't leave empty handed. His 2022 performance landed him 1st overall in the 8 & Under division
Back to the some skating! Marcus Caseria brings the pressure with the pressure flip down the 4 block to start 16-29 Division.
Parents came out for this one. The heat was bearable and we had food in the courtyard. Little food goes a long way!
Most people would bail when someone is skating right next to the rail but Marcus wasn't playing around. Front Feeble
I'd have this look on my face if I saw a board on the ground at the bottom of a circle rail. Reese still pulled off this top to bottom back 50 no problem.
Woody, Caleb, and Liam were holding it down on the grill to make sure we the people were fed - the people were definitely fed!
Shawn Koi is the man behind Ultra Slappy and a long time supporter of SPoT. Thanks for coming out Shawn!
Full House isn't just a TV show. It's also what goes down at SPoT when people are stoked about an All Ages contest!
Jake Brenier is one of the funniest kids I have met at these contests. I am stoked to watch him progress. His attitude is going to take him far. Front smith bank to rail
Dylan LaBrake is the 4th addition to the SPoT team and is the ultimate G. Ollie north over the bump to bar with ease
Our boy Jack Loktu came out! If you've bought something from SPoT over the last 5 years this is the guy checking it all in. Thanks Jack! <3
Mikey Premet tre flip over the bump to bar. Front foot catch with some glow from the flash. Goosebumps!
I love how the shadow from the hat makes this heelflip extra mysterious. It was definitely no mystery that Xavier Ramos handled the business on this one.
Our boy Jack recently got engaged to his fiance Faith. They're an amazing couple and we couldn't be more stoked for them!! Love you guys!
Alex Vestal is a gangster. He just started working at SPoT and is a swiss army knife of a human being. Here he is playing the judges role
Alright, alright. Back to our regularly scheduled programming. 30 & Up crew decided to switch to jam format. Elvin Ramos back board across the pyramid.
Jeremy Leyva showed up with a whole squad from St. Pete and sold Motor Lobby tees in the courtyard. Thanks for bringing the family out!
We switched the 30 & Up over to jam format to make it less stressful and the guys had way more fun. Rocco came out the gate with a backsmith off the quarter into the bank.
Rocco is an all around ATV. How you going to backsmith a wall and then bump to 50 on a circle rail. Madness
Rocco attempted to drop in on a wall next to the judges stand. You read that correctly - Rocco attempted to drop in on a wall next to the judges stand.
Anthony Biggs has a really good front crook. It's awesome to see that ledge back on the ground and not on the pyramid.
Anthony almost did crook fakie on the wall near our online order room. Still a sick photo. He rolled away with a contest make
Atom Blanford repping Boards for Bros and Anchor Skate Supply Kickflip front board on the bump to rail
Our friend Connor Lerian came down from Jacksonville reppin' Sunrise Surf Shop and breezing through the course like nothin'. Back 180 over the rail.
Matt Savidakis just having fun with it. Ollie north tail grab. Is that what that is called? Please don't kill me for misnaming tricks.
Dylan was the only person to hippie jump the bump to bar all day. I loved it and so did everyone else.
This is a hard trick to get a photo of but it can't go undocumented. Back 3 from SPoT team rider Keenan Lewis
Keenan back crooking from top to bottom. Kinks, no kinks, whatever it doesn't matter he is going to crook on through it!
First time I shot a contest with Ricky Reis skating. You know someone is really good at skating when the basics look like this. Back crook on the ledge
Westside crew all skated the same jam and went IN on the bump to bar. Mikey Premet kickflip with that backfoot catch. Woo!
Here goes Eric skating switch again. Switch back tail down the hubba. Pretty sure that he is actually regular and fooling us all!!!
Noah Pollard is a straight killer. This dude already has ads in Thrasher with Deathwish. Back overcrook for the judges
