Theories of Atlantis Invades Tampa

Dustin Eggeling

The Theories of Atlantis crew, including riders from Magenta, Polar, Hopps and Traffic, came on their Escape from New York Tour and stopped by SPoT on Saturday for a demo. Dustin Eggeling from Hopps, is a native to Tampa so he had no problem starting it off with Switch Tre on the hip.

Ybor is a great place if you’ve never been, but always be aware of the singing drunk bums walking up. How’d he get that PBR?

Would it still be a TOA skate day without a propped up grate? Probably, but Yonnie made this thing look easy even though I promise you it is not. Here he is blasting an Ollie to the sidewalk.

The greatest thing about teams like this coming out is you get to see great skating from people you might not have noticed before. Ben Gore killed it all weekend with his skating and positive attitude. MVP.
