If you weren’t at the SPoT Ybor and the Bricks 3-year anniversary party you missed out on a damn good time. We brought in the Instaramp and took over the back alley of The Bricks. There was some amazing skating, a photo show, and tons of good times. Big thanks to our sponsors Vans, PBR, and everyone who made this event happen.
Andrew
On our way to downtown, Andrew and I stopped by SPoTYbor sidewalk sale which was a hit all day.
Snapped this photo of Andrew downtown while we were filming for his SPoT On. Check the site Saturday for the video.

We got back to the bricks right when the Instaramp crew finished squeezing the ramp into this back alley. That’s Andrew with a back tail.

Andrew does it all! He killed it in the streets, announced the contest, and got some on the ramp.
Stephen Oliveira from Focus Skate mag, the Noel twins, Kass Plummer, and some other homies made the drive out from Melbourne.
