First Fridays at SPoT are one of the greatest additions to the park. We get a chance to celebrate our Employee of the Month and watch a skate video we all know and love. This month, we celebrated our July EOTM and premiered Frankie Villani's new "No Cash Value" part from Zero, followed by Cigar City - a video by Josh Stewart that shows raw Tampa skating at its finest. Josh is a Tampa local and SPoT homie since the early days, now running Theories of Atlantis up in NYC. Video: Frank Branca Photos: Marino Nicastro

Eric McKenney
Eric McKenney is your July EOTM! Couldn’t have chosen anyone more deserving. Dude works all day at the park and for every contest keeping things afloat. It was even his job to set this event up, so we had to trick him into thinking someone else was winning.

I saw Marse (Farmer) walk into the park, so I asked him for a photo. This FS Noseblunt was the first trick I saw him pull out. So damn good!!

Eric McKenney is either behind a computer signing you up for a contest or there at the contest setting it up. But he also blasts FS Airs on his free time.

Wesley Box
Wesley Box should be a familiar face by now, but if you don’t know the name, this unknown 14 year old has a good Boneless Disaster to back it.
