SPoT Road Trip - Miami
Posted on Friday, December 23, 2016 by Chris
Early on this month, the SPoT team and friends planned to pack up the van and hit the road en route to Miami for an extended weekend of filming for a new video. As we got there, we ran in to multiple problems from keeping us from being able to skate. The forecast was 80% rain all weekend, but we still managed to dodge the weather and stack some clips while in between stopping by MIA Skateshop and getting a fun session in at Ramp 48 Indoor Skatepark. Huge shoutout to the Montoyas for having us and letting us skate while the weather wasn't agreeing with us.

After planning to meet at the park at 7:30, we finally gathered the van crew for the weekend at 9, and set the GPS to Miami.
We stopped in Cape Coral to drop Eric's dog Luna off for the weekend, which only meant that we had to drive down the road to the infamous Centennial Park located in Downtown Fort Myers. Odds are you will see these two mini hydrants in a row in any Florida video.
After complications with checking in with our Air BNB and getting kicked out of the complex for our oversized van, we rushed to find this steal of a place to stay. 80$ a night for a beachview of South Beach? Perfect.
Later on that day, we stopped by Ramp 48 Skatepark and handed out some product. These two were stoked.
We caught a session at Ramp 48, then Marcos Montoya and Kevin Timmons showed us around Ft Lauderdale. This was a cool undercover spot at FAU.
As we were packing up to leave the undercover spot, three university police officers pulled up. Turns out, one of them skated Tampa Am over a decade ago. We were soon out of there and on the way back to Miami.
