I had a feeling Go Skateboarding Day this year was gonna be a good one but it was also going to be a tough one; I’d guess it was around 100 degrees outside and not to mention, sunny. But I got some coffee from The Bricks next door with others and got ready for the day.

Eric McKenney, our announcer and leader of the day, brought along his new puppy. She kept her cool in the van most of the day while Eric was not so fortunate.

First thing on the agenda for the day was setting up some obstacles around the corner from SPoT Ybor and warming up. They say you can’t have a good team unless one person stands around and watches, thanks for taking care of that Josh.
