This week on Old Man Tuesdays, it was also Brian Schaefer's birthday, so that brought out an extra windfall of rabbit ears laces, Pro Designed pads, dad jeans, and of course, the Editor: Old Man Tuesdays.

After Hours Staff Session

Last night after you all left the park at 11pm when we closed, the SPoT staff got rolling. I shot a few sequences. Meet some of our crew here and check out some skating: After Hours SPoT Staff Session.

etnies Beer and Burritos for the Staff

etnies hooked up the SPoT staff with a night of beer for those of age and burritos for those of hunger. We spent it in the Dungeon in the back smashing pinatas and getting a history lesson on the early days of skateboarding, coincidentally around the time etnies was started: etnies Beer and Burritos for the Staff.

10 Tricks and Two Cents with PJ Castellano

PJ's been a local here at SPoT for more than 10 years. He's up next with 10 skateboarding stunts and his two cents on one question in this new 10/Two put together by HiDefJoe.

Exploring Cigar City

In the newest episode of SKATE, Josh Stewart takes you back to his hometown of Tampa, Florida. They start things off right here at SPoT with your host Ryan Clements. After warming up in the Park they venture into Ybor City, picking up some locals on the way. From there they hit up some street spots and a mini-ramp before getting lunch at The Bricks. They finally end their day at the iconic Bro Bowl, which was one of, if not the first skate spot in Tampa.

Never Too Early for Practice

Yesterday as I was leaving work, I saw an abnormal amount of ripping going down for a Monday afternoon at SPoT. That is when I realized that the Back to School Bash Presented by Altamont is coming up this Saturday. I figured I would take some photos and give you a small sample of the ripping that will be going down. Make sure to register for the contest before it sells out.

10 Tricks and Two Cents with Uncle Sam

You can find Uncle Sam Bellipanni helping you out here at SPoT in the Shop. We're from the same islands way over there in the Philippines. As many "Pacific Islander" parents wish, they want their kids blending into American society so they get American names like mine being Robert Paul Meronek. If my mom didn't have plans for me to grow up American, I'd probably be named TukTuck, Balut, or something else appropriately local. Sam's mom took it a step further and named him "Uncle Sam" in true patriotic form. Sam's got lasers, switch flips, and combos on the course you might not have ever thought of in his new 10/Two here.

Welcome to the Am World, Clive

It's been a pleasure watching Clive Dixon's entry into the world of am skating over the years, including his most recent sponsor welcome footage from Ambig. Our homie David did a little documentary about Clive for a school project that covers everything from him getting on the SPoT Team to how he met the Spitfire Team Manager at Tampa Am years ago that kicked things into gear: "Another Push" starring Clive Dixon. David follows Clive through the rest of his Tampa Am experience and his plans moving on from there, including the Ambig thing which obviously worked out.
