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

The crew, minus a few

Stacey admiring the local shops in Ybor, yep Justin and I live here now

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

Learning inverts

Levi Combs at Ghetto Bowl

Friday nights are usually a pretty rad bowl sesh at the Ghetto Skate Facility. Levi actually put on some knee pads to learn inverts this night. Landed it once, has it every time now.

Rained out in Gainesville

New park opened in Gainesville but got rained out, booo. Did get to skate a little after it dried up but of course skating took priority over taking photos. dang we need a photographer.

The kids snacked on jelly beans, mmmm

at least we had to some shelter to wait it out in

A few pics from Tamp Pro 2010

There were so many people crowding the area this year and therefore I didn't get any good pictures of the skating going on inside, but you can always get outwww.skateparkoftampa.com for video and photos of that.

But here are a few that I did get, the GRO tent had a girls game of skate and one of the girls was brave enough to enter the Moat Race, first girl ever I think.

Courtney and Noelle chillin in the Gro tent

Holly also catching some shade in the Gro Tent

Go Dora, go Dora, go Dora! First girl to do the nasty moat race, I think

D

this is right after it, oh yeah and she just got a tattoo that day, she's still alive don't worry

Just a few pics of The Forgetters at the Ritz for the Tampa Pro party Sat night

Girls trip to Daytona skatepark!

Finally a rad concrete park in Florida that doesn't require helmet nannys and money, too bad it's 3 hours away. Oh well.
