Clash of the Crews 2016 - SPoT Life
Posted on Friday, February 5, 2016 by Chris
Our annual Clash of the Crews contest was lit last Saturday, with 18 shops from all over the south east coming to Skatepark of Tampa to battle it out for the top spot and street cred. When you have people like Felipe Gustavo showing up to skate, things get interesting.

Friday was open practice, and a chance for the judges and announcers to get some skating in before the contest the next day. Paul Zitzer, Proper Back Smith in a Proper Tampa Kit.
Jake Ilardi probably came straight in from sticking a head high 540 in the concrete courtyard to stomp this switch flip.
We decided to do an obstacle course race Friday night, just to keep things spicy. Brian Schaefer lays down the rules with the mic in his hand, NBD.
I found Tyler Coffman eating concrete for breakfast bright and early Saturday morning. Back Smith for the Mad About Skateboarding Crew.
Nick Wallace will skate anything, anywhere, anytime. High Speed Backside 5-0 for The Infamous Westside Skateshop.
Chris Blake and his beard rolled-up fakie into this Frontside 5-0 through the corner for Plus Skateshop.
Members Only Jackets tied around your waist are the new fanny packs. Yonis Molina Fakie Flipped over the rail into the bank for John Montesi and Westside Skateshop.
Mike Peterson is a legendary Pro Skater from Florida. No Comply 180 down the stairs for his shop The Block Skate Supply in Jacksonville, Florida.
Chris Blake always has lines that nobody else does. Ollie over the rail from the bank to 50-50 on the top stair for Plus Skateshop.
