When the Lakai team came to Tampa for the Spring Roll Contest, we did a lot more than just the Contest. Check out a new episode of SPoT Life with Guy Mariano, Stevie Perez, Sebo Walker, and Miles Silva at some Tampa and Bradenton spots: SPoT Life With the Lakai Team in Florida.

Kyle Walker

Posted by Rob on Friday, May 17, 2013

Way back in 2007 was when we first met Kyle Walker at Damn Am Costa Mesa, his first one. He turned heads and made it to the Finals there and has been killing it ever since. For the next few years, we saw him with his mom everywhere from the Tranquility rail to Kyle coming back to win Damn Am Costa Mesa in 2010 and again the following year in Woodward. Now he drops this amazing part and like 120+ of today's top pros, he's on the path to his name on a board. It's pretty amazing to see it coming full circle for yet another skater we've seen grow through Damn Am and Tampa Am. Check out Kyle's full part, "In Color". Don't stop at the credits because that's where it keeps getting better.

Rodney Mullen

Posted by Rob on Friday, May 10, 2013

I was at the IASC Hall of Fame Awards last night and it was an amazing presence of skateboarders spanning like 50 years. Before the show started, we were wondering who this crazy Crocodile Dundee looking character is. Turns out he's a 70 year old skateboarder who was getting an award tonight. Thanks IASC for letting us in on your awards shindig. I ripped some raw footage out of HiDefJoe's camera and put together a few minutes from the show: Rodney Mullen, Woody Woodward, and Dave Duncan at the IASC Hall of Fame Awards 2013.
