Theories of Atlantis Invades Tampa
Posted on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 by Chris
The Theories of Atlantis crew, including riders from Magenta, Polar, Hopps and Traffic, came on their Escape from New York Tour and stopped by SPoT on Saturday for a demo. Dustin Eggeling from Hopps, is a native to Tampa so he had no problem starting it off with Switch Tre on the hip.
Cash was blasting these laybacks on the quarter. Schaefer had to school the announcers on their trick naming.
Yonnie Cruz- Switch Crook! Yonnie is from Tampa and just recently turned pro for Traffic. It was easy to see why... Congrats!
Josh Stewart, the man in charge of TOA Distribution and Static 1-5 continues to kill it filming the whole tour. Be on the lookout for their own video capturing the whole tour.
Saturday night after the demo The Bricks hosted a Pro Party for Yonnie Cruz. The night had just started but these dudes were here early. AlBow, Dylan Perry, Kevin Coakley and Yonnie.
Mikah Collins, Eric Mckenney, Brian Schaefer, Derick and Ian are all behind what goes on at SPoT and with all events. If you see them around, say whats up!
You know it was a good party at The Bricks when the ladies show up. Don’t get too excited, they all came with a skater that's probably better than you.
The real Shaqueefa OGs: Stephen Buggica, Tommy Presley and Scotty Conley. These dudes are a complete DIY company but continue to kill it with their clothing and Mix Tapes. Check out some of their stuff in our shops.
Ybor is a great place if you’ve never been, but always be aware of the singing drunk bums walking up. How’d he get that PBR?
After The Bricks settled down, the party moved across and down the street to Res Bar. Chris Jata was already there playing pool.
The night started getting blurry around this point and we all had to wake up tomorrow to skate, so everyone started going home. Congrats again to Yonnie Cruz for going pro for Traffic! Here he is with his lady.?
Sunday was the final day these dudes were in Tampa before they moved on with their tour. We all met up at The Bricks and SPoT Ybor before skating Ybor and around Downtown Tampa.
This was the first spot of the day. I know Jimmy Lannon got some clips here before so this Ollie over the fence came at ease.
Next spot was the plaza in Ybor. Kevin Coakley Ollied up to the bank and stuck this nose manny the ledge.
Would it still be a TOA skate day without a propped up grate? Probably, but Yonnie made this thing look easy even though I promise you it is not. Here he is blasting an Ollie to the sidewalk.
Traffic, Magenta and Hopps riders. Everyone there is a family. After the session in Ybor we packed everyone into 2 vans and headed into Downtown.
You may remember this bump to bench from Reynolds' SOTY part, but years later it got moved a little. Ben Gore wasn’t afraid to get his feet wet on this Ollie.
This was the last spot of the day, CapTrust. I’ve only lived here for a few years but never knew about this ledge to downhill back into the garage. Ben warms it up with the Back 50-50.
The greatest thing about teams like this coming out is you get to see great skating from people you might not have noticed before. Ben Gore killed it all weekend with his skating and positive attitude. MVP.
