The First Friday of the month means SPoT Free Fridays: Free skating, BBQ, a Best Trick contest, and a rad skate video from the past or present. We all got together for a session and some high fives a few weeks ago, and here's how it went down. Thanks to everyone who came out and we'll see you at the next one! Photos: Josh Bowser
Derick Glancy
Your host with the most, Derick Glancy was on the injured list for a little bit, but as you can see, he's happy to be back.

A session on the boxes outside always happens when we start serving food; maybe this is our way of waiting in line...

Maycon Mota
Maycon was putting down moves left and right, I was just trying to keep up. He stomped a handful of these Heelflips over the rail.

After the smoke cleared, we all grabbed a drink and sat down to watch Alien Workshop's "Mindfield" video. It was an extremely successful night of skating, chilling with old friends and making new ones.
Thank you to everyone who came out, and see you at next month's Free Friday session!
