The first thing I saw when walking out onto the street course was the super weird looking nollie front foot flip. Thanks, Mike Mo. That's Blake Kovarik looking like an old man trying to kickflip

Kass Plummer - fakie flip. Wouldn't it look way better if it was a fakie back foot flip? Nope

Sean Jeffries - frontside feeble

Jacob Krajewski - serious thigh sweat. Yep, it's hot here in Florida

Shane Hire is keeping the crook back lip alive and well. I'm only going to show you the crook part, though. Don't want to offend anyone

Who was it back in the day that used to always grab their tail on feeble grinds? Blake Kovarik should do that here to match up the bag of tricks with the nollie front foot flip

Nick Blanco has a unique looking nollie flip

Robbie Kirkland is back in town. That's a backside big flip brought all the way around to forward. Switch the b with an n and you now know why we commonly refer to this trick as the Kenny Hughes spin

Baby Dyson Ramones, Daniel Arias, made the cut to the Finals. That's a lipslide

Wow, another nollie front foot flipper. Eric Weingart is doing this one to manual

Lil' Timmy Knuth - switch manual

Mike Espinosa - switch 360 flip. Must be nice when that's your go-to trick

Ray Ray - frontside 180 fakie manual

Somehow the Black Label team went from looking like a box of Saltines to full blown ethnic diversity. Yonnie Cruz is now getting stuff from the Label

Baby Dyson made this kickflip frontside 50-50 right before the jam ended. Kickflipping into this trick looks good. Kickflipping out, not so much. It works kind of like how the foot you choose to flip your board with on a nollie

CJ Reed is going to 360 shuv it out of this crooked grind

Johnny Scheniux - back lip

Who dat? He's in the middle of my worst nightmare on a skateboard and the main reason I've always been scared of round rails

Who dat? He recovered from the front 5-0 slip out

Jason Gallagher - frontside flip

Shane Hire - nollie big spin

I was with Dylan Perry when he bought that shirt in Amsterdam a couple years ago. That's a front blunt across to fakie

Lil' Timmy Knuth will be kickflipping into crooked grinds in no time. For now, Clint Bestwick just takes it down the stairs

Who dat? Varial heel. UPDATE: It's Nick Blanco

Tommy Presley - nollie flip with the non-gross foot to nose manual

Tommy Presley - nollie crooked grind

Ray Ray - 360 flip

Brent Sowinski won the Contest. That's a nollie 360 flip

Nick Zizzo - feeble grind

Someone thought Mike Goodwine was the dude in the Recyle ad. Two different people for sure. Thanks to Pat Stiener, Mike Goodwine, and Fat Bob for judging

I only eat hot dogs at Skatepark of Tampa, but today, I had to skip it. Thanks anyway, Body. Looks like there's no one else here to eat the dogs so they're all you

If you've ever been to the Snack Bar, you might know the pool table gangstaz here

Robbie Kirkland - switch 360 flip

Jereme Knibbs - kickflip

Here's a sequence of Jereme's kickflip

Look where you're going on crooked grinds like TJ Sparks. Right outside this photo on the right is last place. That's where TJ's going. Oh well, he was hurt so next time he won't be DFL

Baby Dyson - bluntslide

Nick Zizzo - back lip front shuv

Brent Sowinski - nollie cab flip

Who dat? Feeble grind

Shane Hire - FSNG

Nick Zizzo - noseblunt slide

Brent Sowinski - switch back heel
