Get the full results on the GFL site. They raised $2,700 today - amazing. Thanks to everyone who was here to help.

Piro Sierra and I both know we should drop in on the vert ramp just because. I haven't done it in a decade or so and he's never done it. We both chickened out today and just enjoyed a mellow cruise around below coping. Maybe next time. We'll just get out of the way for the Florida Vert Attack today. |
Cameron Miller's got a good looking front foot on this huck over the quarter. |
The kickflips in the kiddie divisions look the same as the kickflips in the 40+ division. |
Giancarlo Scalise, going up. |
My favorite little kid trick, the blunt nosegrab. Someone should start a magazine based on this trick. |
I should have stuck around to go for one of these trophies, but I just couldn't make myself do it, even with a 40+ division. |
The newest member of the SPoT Staff with Grind for Life's chief Mike Rogers along with Porpe. Thanks again for having your shindig here at our place, Mike. |
This is Nate Ilardi. He's all about the image gadgets and can carry on a pretty intelligent discussion of camera gear. |
I let Nate hold the D3S for a bit and he gave it back to me with this front feeble sequence on it. Thanks, Nate. |
The girls were ripping today as usual. Laura Fong-Yee ended a run with this frontside boardslide. |
Alex from the Shop was out there in the Girls' Division, too. I think skateboarding is finally back to the point where only girls wear skin tight pants. What a crazy phase of the early 2000's. |
Alejandro Burnell - frontside 360. Usually when you cut your long hair, it's either all or nothing. Alejandro went for half way. |
This is Nate's brother Jake Ilardi. He's got a nice 360 flip. Maybe we'll see that in the Tampa Am Vert Contest he'll be in next month. |
We will definitely see Jake Ilardi's cab next month in Tampa Am Vert (UPDATE: oops, it's a les twist). Okay, it's time for me to pull a Whodini and sneak out of here before I get called out to skate in the Contest. Thanks again to everyone from Grind for Life that came to SPoT today. |
