You should come to Tampa Am even if you’re not skating the contest. Or especially if you’re not? It might be the most fun you have all year. In anticipation of your trip, here is the first annual Zaturdays - Tampa Am Challenge [Z-TAC] to make the weekend even more entertaining. I’ll do a Zaturdays story and a SPoT Insta post on whoever does the most of them. What an honor right? Just make sure to film it all and put together a (really) short edit. Then email me a link at paul@skateparkoftampa.com. Below are 16 challenges. Should be easy. Good luck! 
- Paul Zitzer
1. Post a Selfie with Brian Schaefer. Hey tag me on that?
2. Get BGPs in the Live Webcast. This could be you!
3. Run the Moat Race. Sure you might get Dengue Fever, but you’ll also get a grip of products and hey, you’re guaranteed to make the webcast, so two birds, one stone.
4. Get a high five from a Monster Girl. I’d suggest you try to make out with one of them but sorry that’s not going to happen, huge bonus points if you do though.
5. Film Jason Lee doing a 360 flip (or a Coach Frank shout out to your crew). Yes, he’s going to be in town for the contest. If he’s not down for either of those at least ask him to sign your My Name is Earl DVD. If he’s into that find Chris Pastras and ask for his help, because Chris and J Lee are bros.
6. Get a SPoT Tattoo. Not only are they free, but they last forever.
7. Do a trick over the door gap out in the courtyard (carve over it if nothing else). The hard part will be getting in with your board. (Tell Dave Malinsky at the front door that you’re doing the Z-TAC and slip him a $20). Do the door gap barefoot for bonus points.
8. Skate the Bowl Jam on Thursday night, or the Old Man Bowl Jam on Friday night, depending on your age. Skate the Converse Concrete Jam on Saturday night for bonus points.
9. Buy a Michael Sieben or Travis Millard Print. If you don’t have the money, take a picture of one and print it out when you get home. Get Sieben to draw you something for bonus points.
10. Drink a beer with Montesi in the parking lot. Easiest challenge of them all. Tell him your favorite trick in his Useless Wooden Toys part for bonus points. This photo shows Chris Ortiz, and Willy Akers doing what you’ll be doing.
11. Catch something in the Product Toss, it’ll be flying all over the place, you can’t miss. Give it to a little kid for bonus points.
12. Go eat at The Bricks. Order the most expensive item on the menu for bonus points.
13. Play a game of SKATE with someone who is registered to skate the contest. Win for bonus points.
14. Get a photo of The Senator. Disclaimer: He’s not really a senator.
15. Find the Shoe Licker. He’s easy to spot, he’s the guy licking people’s shoes on 7th. Have him lick your shoe.
16. Correctly predict the winner of Tampa Am 2015 via an Insta post by midnight Saturday.
17. Ask Eric at registration what you need to do to enter the contest. Rate his mood from 1 to 10 (1 being not friendly, and 10 being very friendly) and tell him what you gave him.
