All 80's Vert Jam

Finally got to see some legends skating vert like they did in the 80's! Of course I forgot my camera in the hotel but I tried with my crappy iPhone.

Just a few...like Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Cara-Beth, Kevin Staab, Buck Smith, Mike Frazier, Mike McGill, and more!

Skatepark of Tampa website has much more on this event, check it out

Gro Crew at Tampa Am after party

Courtney, the Girl Riders Organization leader, Stacey and her mom from Daytona, Stef from Saint Pete, Noelle from Sarasota, and me now in Tampa all got together after Tampa Am to rage downtown Ybor. There were a couple other girls but very underage to drink.

Stacey is behind Courtney, I can see her foot

I think Noelle did this to me with the pool table chalk, but I don't remember.

Tampa Vert Session

The vert ramp at Tampa is usually used by 4 people and many other kids using just the flat bottom for smooth games of SKATE. So last Saturday Todd Morrow organized a Vert session that brought several vert skaters from all over Florida, many guys from the east coast too. I don't know all their names but here are some pictures from Saturday....

Noelle and I tried to get a girls skate trip going, but it ended up being just us. We still had a blast though!
Skated Tallahassee, Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Daytona. We suck at getting the camera out but managed to do it a a couple things
