May 19, 2003Oh Canada, Oh Canada (Slam City Jam)
Posted by RyanThe Skatepark of Tampa out-of-town trips usually consist of some type of work. When we go to San Diego, it’s for the ASR Trade Show. This time it was different...we didn’t have any work to do! That’s right. With the exception of having to wake up at 4:15 in the morning to make my flight to Vancouver at 6:30am, it was basically a vacation. -

UGP Kills It With Another Successful "Roots Jam"
Posted by RyanWhen pro BMXer, Sean Albright, first started working at Skatepark of Tampa, the existing staff had questions about some riders that came to the Park and would ask, "Hey Sean, you know that one kid that rides a bike that..."

A Skate Park In Wachula…Where?
Posted by RyanSean Albright and myself are on the same schedule. We go to bed early and wake up early for skate missions. There’s only one thing unique about the arrangement: Sean rides a bike.

“Dude, We’re On The List”
Posted by Afro-JimAfter his performance at the Skatepark of Tampa 10-Year Anniversary Party, any witness would agree that Andrew W.K. puts on one entertaining show. Rob Meronek and Andrew W.K.-mark, Afro-Jim, didn’t see enough of Andrew at the Party. They got their fix by heading over to Orlando a couple of weeks ago to check him out at The Social. Check out Afro-Jim’s account of the evening. -
