Colin's got the footage from Maloof South Africa on Friday where the Vert Contest went down and a little bit of Street Sractice was going on. It was a damn good time on the U as you can see in the footage recap: Maloof South Africa Friday Vert Contest and Street Practice.

Hawk Lands at SPoT

It’s been a long time since Tony Hawk has skated in a demo at Skatepark of Tampa. I’m talking 90’s here. Big thanks to Tony and the entire Birdhouse crew for swinging by SPoT on their MIA to NYC Tour. It started to rain and we thought for a minute that we wouldn’t be getting a vert demo, but Birdman, Staab, and friends waited it out and everyone got what they wanted to see. Thanks to everyone for coming out on a weekday in that outrageous August heat: Hawk Lands at SPoT.
It Wasn't a Game of Skate Yesterday

Tony Hawk and the Birdhouse crew were at Skatepark of Tampa yesterday, but Schaefer and I didn't get home in time to see them. Pelham has photos and video coming up soon. For now, FSG Mag cover alumni Kyle Randall has this photo of Tony skating the vert ramp the opposite way everyone else does.

Vert's Not Dead, It's Flat

Some long shadows get cast as the sun sets each day on the vert ramp. The locals are always on a flatground session. I spied from above for a bit:
