Thanks to the SPoT staff for the course demolition and Team Pain and Schaefer for the course construction. Here it is, fully completed for 2013. Hope you enjoyed free skating for the few weeks of our annual housekeeping. We return to regular prices to skate today with the new course being done and ready for you to rip. See you here and thanks for the 20th year of support.

Bonus Photos: Construction a Decade Ago
We're celebrating 20 years of Skatepark of Tampa, born on January 1, 1993. The nostalgia is at an all time high for us here. Especially when five years into this, we would routinely ask ourselves "what are we going to be doing in 10 years." That question tended to come up especially during moments at the height of our immaturity while we were already in our late 20's knowing damn well we should be more grow'd up. It's nice to see decades later, the answer to that question is "the same thing we're doing right now." I'll be taking you on a lot of memory lane trips through photos over the next few weeks and of course, don't forget about our "20" Year Experience through weekly interviews with pros and other industry icons that were here over the years to witness it. Here are a few photos from course and Shop construction about a decade ago. Watch Tampa Am 2012 Live All Weekend: December 7 - 9

Back in 2002, we had not yet built our new offices right there in that spot where the vert ramp used to be.

The east side of the Shop today was the Snack Bar and lounge back in 2002. Things have grown a bit since then thanks to your support.
