My weekend so far has been off the charts as usual for Tampa Pro. I hope yours has. Here are a few photos from all the digital devices I'm packing and putting in your face all weekend.
My weekend so far has been off the charts as usual for Tampa Pro. I hope yours has. Here are a few photos from all the digital devices I'm packing and putting in your face all weekend.
When you throw events like Tampa Pro, you’re in the hospitality business. Andrea is here working with us this weekend to high five, get you a beer, make friends, help out the SPoT staff where they can, and make sure you have a good time while you’re here.
Our long time friend Sarahkaye is also working with us for the weekend with Andrea. Introduce yourself.
This is how you upgrade your profile photo to look straight bid’niss gangster. Hunter is runnin’ the marketing madness at Nike.
Over at The Bricks, Chris is on the wax for the night. He’s usually with us in Innetech getting it done on product photos, but this weekend, we all have 20 jobs that span day and night.
My new friends from Nike that I will have to meet five more times before remembering names.
Pause for a foot fetish.
I’m at the Girl Skateboards Welcome to Town Party as you can tell here. Look at these cirlces of superstars here.
Sturgill is like a whole crowd in one person. Apparently his sidekick here is just as raging.
So it's not just Curren that does "deer in the headlights" for photos. His dad does it, too. He's skating his first Tampa Pro this weekend. That's Jeremy Fox from Flip with them.
Oliver wants workers comp for his paper cut he got while putting together SPoT 20 Year Dunks with us this weekend. Thanks Kevin from The Skateboard Mag for setting up the See See Motorcycles coffee shop. I'm geeked out on lattes all day from that.
Brittany, Matt Selego, and Tommy, background lurkers.
Pause for a foot fetish.
Elvin was so hyped on Tampa Pro when he got here that he got me all hyped and made me want to take a photo with him.
I'm stuck in the shop being receptionist to the world all day, but at least I get to meet all the fine individuals that come through like Brian Anderson and Elissa Steamer.
Jason Rothmeyer's got a good backside shifty before manning the iPads for judging all weekend.
Amelia and her crew should have their names etched in this spot.
More lil' locals on the Zumiez couch.
Yes, the free ink is still flowing at the Atomic tent.
Damn, what are we going to do about a pile of busted trophies? Damnnnn.
A few are okay. These are so heavy it's like they're solid lead. Not sure how they broke apart like that.
Pause for a foot fetish.
The decks were packed. Biebel, Rudy Johnson, Sam Smyth with the greatest contest kit ever, Rick Howard, and Kelly Bird who makes gray hair look very distinguished.
Unfortunately, The Editor doesn't have time to publish a cover of Frontside Grind Magazine right now.
Mike Frazier is about to smash this tailgrab into a backside disaster like lightning striking on the coping.
Documentation team Joe Perrin and Rhino from Thrasher.
Luke's got some ripping skate photos from the weekend going on. Watch for those later on the site.
A small sample of the work on the walls at The Bricks.
Craig Chimile and Kelly Bird, Ybor locals for the weekend.
Mike Carroll tells a story with every signature that he gives. It's a lot better when the alcohol is talking, too.
It's an Adio reunion with Nick Dompierre, Steve Nesser, and Ed Selego. Aaron Suski, thanks for skating this weekend.
It turned into quite a party once the rain drove everyone in from the Legendary Vert Session.
Damn, no anti-rain dance will fix this.
Brittany and Lana are hoping for a surprise Yelawolf showing. I think we're going to have to settle for Lil Wayne again.
It also turned into a raging bowl session.
These kids are so hyped.
Damn, look at that crew. Legendary for damn sure.
And that's how our night ended. Floating away on crates. The live broadcast starts at 2pm today right here at skateparkoftampa.com
