Damn, John! Killing it in this new part he just dropped:

Kyle Walker

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:37:00 EST

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.

Clint Walker

Wow, a slip and slide loop!?! Clint's got this no problem:

Rodney Mullen

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:08:00 EST

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.

Today was Sebo Walker's birthday and we were lucky enough to spend the day with him along with the rest of the Lakai team who stayed to film an episode of SPoT Life with us. That's coming up later, but for now, check out Sebo's new part, The Sebo Walker Portland Experience.

Eric Koston

Ryan Gallant

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:23:00 EST

Clint Walker

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 23:36:00 EST

Every minute of this part from Clint is a jaw dropper. Wow:

Skateboarder Magazine has a new feature called Following. First up is Eli Reed ripping from Venice to Hollywood:

Brandon Westgate

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Pat) — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:09:00 EST

Brandon Westgate just released some new footage from Boston. Brandon hits the streets at night, and even gets some advice from a random hype man on how to be "Pro." I don't think Brandon needs any tips on how to skate, his half cab flips and kickflips in this edit are proof of that.

James Cobb

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:09:00 EST

SPoT local and card carrying member of the FSEC James Cobb is up next on 10 Tricks and Two Cents.

Johan Stuckey

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Pat) — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:42:00 EST

Johan Stuckey put in some serious work to get the last part in Cosmic Vomit 2. Now you can see all that hard work online for free. Johan leaves his mark on some famous Los Angeles spots you probably thought were done. Maybe after this someone will hopefully pull Johan out of the flow bro ranks.

Sebo Walker

Lakai's got a Bangkok Extension with Sebo. The chinky version of that Pink Floyd song is amazing:

Alex Olson

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:44:00 EST

I try not to ever look at YouTube comments. It's like stopping to talk to every single bum on the streets with a cardboard sign. You can only take like maybe a hello then you're over it. Alex dives in on comments on his Pretty Sweet part here:

Mark Gonzales

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:38:00 EST

Sean Malto

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:42:00 EST

Sean was victim of an April Fools joke today, hopefully you weren't. You didn't think we were a dollar store now did you?

Eric Koston

rob@skateparkoftampa.com (Rob) — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:55:00 EST

Eric has a few words about what not to do while in Tampa and a lot about Bill Weiss naked:
