The Bro Bowl: Historic for Us, But a Small Piece of Something Bigger

by Rob on Wednesday, June 12, 2013
On June 11, 2013 I attended a meeting at Tampa City Hall concerning historic preservation. I remember seeing a petition on the internet to "Save the Bro Bowl" and I think any of us (and many did) would sign a petition to save something that we all have skated from being demolished. The petition that was signed by many, lead people to believe that the government was viciously tearing down a skateboarding landmark with no alternative plan, this wasn't really the case.

School's Out Jam 2013 Presented by Krew

by Rob on Monday, June 10, 2013
As usual, it was some of the best local skateboarding at the School's Out Jam this weekend, however, many of you came from as far as Texas, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. Thanks for making the trip and joining us for another one. We've got photos and video here.

My History With The Bro Bowl in Tampa

by Rob on Monday, June 10, 2013
When I first moved to Tampa, I was at the height of my skateboarding life as far as ability goes. Jumping down stairs and gaps, going on the endless treasure hunt for spots like ledges, manny pads, and even transition like backyard mini-ramps and vert ramps. Of course I found Tampa's oldest "skatepark", the Bro Bowl. As every other skater I rolled with, we avoided the Bro Bowl because it sucked for anyone who wasn't stuck in the last generation of skateboarding...

by Rob on Wednesday, June 5, 2013
When we went up to Damn Am Atlanta last month, we did so many other things on the road trip that we made a separate SPoT Life episode from it. The highlight was being able to skate and film at Da Playground. I've got a bunch of sequences and photos from there along with the episode.

Numbers Show Everyone Quitting Skateboarding: Nerdsday Thursday

by Rob on Thursday, May 16, 2013
I started with doing an analysis of our top 200 skaters over the years. Of course, the first question is regarding their ages. Then I dug deeper to see who out of those 200 top skaters from 2006 is still a skater. The numbers are pretty damn alarming. I don't want to believe it.

I've spent the last two days at this conference about all the bid'niss stuff that goes on behind the scenes in the sketchy skateboard industry. I can't believe how lucky I am to be around all this stuff as an aging skateboarder. I'm nerding out and fanning out left and right.

Nike SB Dunk Low Concord and Janoski Lemon Twist

by Wit-E on Friday, April 19, 2013
The quality is definitely on point this time and they are well worth the price. These sneakers were built for summertime stunting. If you don't own a pair of Janoskis, you are definitely slipping. This model is extremely comfortable and the design is versatile.

Yep, that's just how he does. He took that style to the Shop this weekend and rearranged some counters and layout for us to better serve you. See you in the Shop!

The list includes three Thrasher Skaters of the Year (Grant Taylor, David Gonzales, and Leo Romero) plus many of today's top pros. I can't belive how we've been able to meet over 120 of today's pros as they were kids coming up and skating contests like Damn Am for the fun and friendships you form at events like that.

Nerdsday Thursday: Dropping Pants

by Rob on Thursday, February 14, 2013
This grid shows the top 10 companies in the Pants/Jeans category. For the last decade, Krew dominated most years. It's interesting to see eS creep in there before they threw in the towel. Split might look odd to you in there in 2005, but don't forget they sponsored Tampa Pro that year so of course that directly affects your brand's performance.

by Rob on Thursday, January 31, 2013
It's been way too long since a nerd out on numbers post, so let's dive into some digits. I was interested in how the ages of skaters has looked over the years. What would you guess?

Nike Dunk High Doernbecher Shoes

by Wit-E on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
When they dropped November 30th, it seemed they would be sold exclusively through Nike and we here at SPoT didn't anticipate receiving any pairs. So you can imagine how surprised we were last week when we received a shipment of these sneakers with an amazing story behind them.

Zumiez 100k 2012

by Rob on Thursday, January 10, 2013
All these party photos and I didn't get a single foot fetish photo? Damn! Blowing it. Maybe these are not as epicly epic as the trailer hyped it up to be. Oh well, that's Hollywood for you. It was straight Hollywood at the Zumiez 100k party the other day. I fanned out and pointed my camera in everyone's face.
