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.

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.
