Nike SB Go Skateboarding Day 2018 - Tampa

Posted on on Thursday, June 28, 2018 by Chris

SPoT, Westside Skateshop and Nike SB teamed up this year for Go Skateboarding Day, and skills paid off (literally) with $2,000 in cash for tricks being given away. As a bonus, we were joined by Blake Carpenter, who got everyone hyped up from the Bro Bowl to Skatepark of Tampa. Check out the recap.

It was rad to have Blake Carpenter in Tampa with us for the day. If you don’t already know, Blake is a champion of a human. He came back to his home state courtesy of Nike SB and we couldn’t have been more hyped to have him! Thanks for ruling Blake.

The homie from the Fire Department told me that since he wasn’t able to skate with us today he at least had to drive the Big Red Truck to the park so he could checkout the scene. Thanks for stopping by dude.

We had $1,000 to give away at each location for anything we considered sick enough to earn some loot. Thanks to Nike SB & Westside for helping us pool the cash together!
