Tampa Pro 2007 Saturday

Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 by Rob

Lincoln Ueda - 540

Neal Hendrix - backside 360

Mike Frazier - full cab

I think this was Adam Taylor's first pro contest

Mike Frazier's got a good frontside nosebone

PLG - indy nosebone to fakie

PLG - kickflip mute to fakie

This year we had a special tent behind the vert ramp with some damn good food and beer reserved just for the pros and industry VIP's

Today was Street Qualifiers. This is Anthony Shetler at his first pro contest doing a nollie half cab heel

Nick Dompierre - front crook

Paul Rodriguez had two ripping runs that included a perfect make on this switch flip

Steve Berra won practice with stuff like this frontside flip, but he blew it in his run and lost a $5,000 bet with Rob Dyrdek on who would place higher in the Contest

Eric Koston didn't have to skate today because he's automatically in the Semi-Finals from winning Tampa Pro in a prior year

The VIP tent had free massages and the back cracker thing all day. Body ain't scared to take advantage

The Vert Winners' got giant greenbacks with various industry heads on them. That's Gabe Clement from DVS, Justin Williams from Force, and Mic-e Reyes from Deluxe as dead presidents

Stefan Janoski - kfbsts

Tommy Sandoval - fs180ng

Adam Dyet has these frontside flip melon grabs on lock

There were free tattoos all day long. This one was a little disturbing. Brian Schaefer got a Bill Weiss tat on his calf

Then Bill Weiss goes and gets Schaefer tatted on his ass

Big Black was on the mic for a while and also announced Rob Dyrdek's run

Nate Jones was another guest MC for a while

Ian Hill from Fuel TV is down

DJ Wade - this dude rips

Foot fetish in the parking lot

Jersey Sarah, meet Buffalo Stance. They both recognize each other from way too many chill shots of each other on the site

The tat brothers. Schaefer and Weiss

That's Camilla from Copenhagen and Clyde Singleton with a censored shirt

Is Nina making it on the Rob and Big show? Those are Rob and Big Black autographs there

Serious skateboard business going down in Schaefer's office in a judges meeting after the Contest

Steve Berra, Brian Schaefer, and Rob Dyrdek swarmed by an army of MTV filmers

Brian Anderson destroyed everything on the course today. Can't wait to see him skate again in the Semi-Finals

Somehow I came up with the energy to go out to Czar for the After-Party. That's Rob Brink on the right, and Raven's boob nearly popping out on the left
