Boobie Bandit Goes to Jail: SPoT Life Episode 27
In this episode of SPoT Life, it's a road trip from Tampa to Houston for the Johnny Romano Make-A-Wish Skate Jam. Stops along the way include random spots, straight up titty licking, and other madness in New Orleans on Halloween. Guess which member of the crew went to jail?

It is tradition to take a group photo before we get on the road. Not pictured is Yonnie Cruz and Robby Kirkland. Looks like Crowbar got the best of them the night before.
Tweet
We brought some Boards for Bros completes to give to the community center as a thank you for letting us session the new park.

You see that dude in the middle of the photo. That is our new friend Slick. He knew Lil Wayne before he was Lil Wayne. Thanks for letting us skate Slick!
Tweet
We were cruising around New Orleans looking for spots and saw this hipster chick on a fixie. It reminded me of Ybor City.
Tweet
We finally made it to Houston and the first stop was the legendary Tranquility Rail. I think Yonis pulled off a NBD with this switch front board.

The Bowl Jam is always fun to see. This is 1080 baby, Tom Schaar. I guess when you can do a 1080 on the Mega-Ramp, it’s easy to fully tweak a stalefish.
Tweet
This is the line to get to meet and greet your favorite skateboarders. I wonder who they were waiting in line for.
Tweet
DC's finest, Nyjah Huston and Wes Kremer, were signing autographs and meeting their fans, but that line wasn't for them.
Tweet
The second contest was a Best Trick on this a-frame obstacle. Jereme Knibbs started things off with a backside lipslide up and down.
Tweet
I asked Nyjah if he has ever done this bigflip frontside hurricane before, and he told me he has only done it once. What would you give that in Street League? I would say easily a 9.7.
Tweet
The final Contest of the day was on the hubba, rail, and stairs. Soon after Evan did this backside 180 nosegrind, he took one hell of a slam that put him in the hospital.
Tweet
Evan was escorted out in a stretcher, but let the crowd know he was going to be okay. He was released later on that night with a few stitches in the back of his head. I am sure we will see him at Tampa Am.
Tweet
Eric a.k.a. Big O and Janine have an amazing skate park and are great hosts. If you are ever in Houston make sure to check out Southside Skatepark.
Tweet
Evan Smith also won the Zumiez Destroyer Award and the whole DC Team came up to accept it on his behalf.
Tweet
There is no denying Nyjah Huston. He won both the A-Frame Best Trick and the Hubba, Rail, and Stair Best Trick.
