We loaded up the van yet again to go show our support to our friends out in Melbourne, FL were everyone gathered for a local video premiere titled "Bojangle$," created by Bobby Bils. The video featured some of Melbourne's up and coming skateboarders who frequent SPoT's all ages contests, so we decided to return the favor by making the trip out east.

Our awesome tour guide and Focus Magazine photographer Stephen Oliveira snapped this one of Frank Branca and I getting straight to business at the first spot. Here's a backside nose slide 270 out.
This bowling alley rail was next, where Markus was like a kid in a candy store. This was a feeble to fakie. Look at that foot!
We finally made it to The Park where the Bojangle$ premiere was going down. Melbourne's finest welcomed us with open arms.
Sorry, Noel brothers, but I still can't tell you apart. I do know that this was a backside over crook, though.
Thats Bobby Bils in the white shirt. He's the creative mastermind behind Bojangle$. Why the stank eye, Stephen?
We were hyped on this kid's t-shirt. Frank used to own a skate shop, and "Stay Loose" was the title of one of his videos. Check out his part here.
The Ladies where feeling Ish Cepeda's part. Thanks to our Melbourne friends for the hospitality and entertainment! We'll be back soon.
We were on our way back home the next morning, but had to get some work in. This is Robbie Kirkland posing a long ass front board right before we got the boot by officer doofy.
Our journey continues with the ultimate wind down: Wekiva Springs in Orlando. Van commander Casey Wayne and Dylan Perry enjoying some beverages spring side.
So, what do you do when you still have beers left over and friends to hang out with? You go to the closest skate spot, of course. Not wanting the good times to end, we all met at this notorious Orlando spot, the Maitlan quarters, to keep the night going.
I some how got a drunken rock n' roll in before I had one too many beers. Thanks Casey for the photo.
