For the February employee of the month celebration, we invited everyone who was a part of our Tampa Pro staff to the park and made them the recipients of the award since they all killed it so hard. We fired up the grill for some tasty grub, put some beers on ice, and let the good times roll. Oh yeah, we can’t forget how Coppertail Brewing Co., a local Tampa Bay brewer, came through with a free keg of their finest beer. Does it get any better than a free keg of beer? We don’t think so. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the 22nd Annual Tampa Pro contest, we couldn’t have done it without you! Until next time. - Eric McKenney Video: Frank Branca Words and photos: Eric McKenney

This new wallride obstacle is a product of the Converse concrete rebuild. Luckily it’s now one of the funnest things to skate here at the park. Derick Wynn puts in a tall order with this wallride.
