The Anti-Trip

We were supposed to go to Atlanta for a long weekend trip with the illustrious Gator Board Shop team. But since those bothersome floods came through and ruined our fun, not to mention many peoples lives, we had to pick another option. We ended up on a little Orlando/Daytona adventure.


First spot was a ridiculous gap in the tourist part of Orlando


Had to get on a clothing donation box for the homeless to get the angle. It was okay I guess


After a long battle and some stress we just left. No point in blowing your load on the first day of a trip


Frank was injured so he was filming the whole time


The travel budget on these Gator trips is pretty extravagant

The next day...


I guess you could call them and see what's up. Practical graffiti in Sanford, FL


Sam Bianchini, back smith




Brandon Knowles got a couple tricks


It was sweltering


This is when we decided to just go somewhere else


So we went to New Smyrna Beach, and skated my favorite ditch ever. It was even hotter out there for some ungodly reason


Sam still ripped up the hip though


Tall Tee, accessorizing

Then we didn't manage to get any more photos from then on until nightfall


and we still didn't get any skate photos


So we went back to Orlando, but not before Tall Tee got a new Myspace photo


It was an Apple trip

The next day...

We got over our case of the over its and went skating in Orlando. The plan was to just go back to the home base of Tampa but we ended up finding some cool stuff in Orlando, even what we want to think is a new spot


We got something much cooler, but you know, it can't be blogged, at least not yet


John got some tight stuff on the trip, including this frontside flip over the manhole cover



But he had to work for it; this slam sounded as bad as the bottom photo makes it look


So John became my photo assistant and picked up second angles the rest of the day

Thanks for an adventure, Gator homies. See you next time!

Rain Delays

Since we had a mild tropical storm roll through Tampa today I had to retreat back to SPoT and crash the older gent sesh in the back with Jereme Knibbs and Jacob Krajewski.


We've been listening to a lot of Gucci Mane at the Park lately. Gucci has an...Associate named OJ Da Juiceman. While Frosty isn't into that "stupid ass shit" I want to refer to him as Da Frostman in this post



Since Rob was going Ragin' Asian with his Sister at the bar instead of skating I made sure to get some frontside grind photos for him, which is his favorite trick


Clem also had a back D revert on the china bank


Dang, Jereme


Justin is the new new guy. Welcome to Innetech Justin. Hit him up for Loser Machine gear as well, he's their sales rep


Jacob is into switch lip tricks. Switch piv to fakie


Jereme Knibbs closed the session out with his pole jam no comply into the china bank

Stand And Deliver

Set out for some photos today and got it done, for the most part. Ain't it so nice when it happens like that?

Gotta save the bangers but here's the extra.


This old spot




When we got kicked out, by the Principal of the school, he asked how we got in.
"The open gate, sir."


Aaron would've ripped, but he had a freshly dislocated finger

Scrap Or Die

Fate

Skated after work and even with an 80% chance of rail we got all the photos we wanted. We skated downtown and didn't get kicked out of any spots. It's as fate would have it I suppose.


This was Knibbs' spot. We got a sequence here I can't blog, which is always preffered


So we went to a "fun" spot. The benches Jereme learned blunt slide's on forever ago. It was fun. Jereme almost landed a great trick and I skated too. Fun for everyone.


Jacob got a little tech




Alternate angles


Dylan preferred blunting the nose

Burning The Wick

Returned to "Wick City", or Clearwater for the less hood readers of my blog, to see what's good with the natural quarterpipe spot.


Since my equipment was acting badly last time, I had a score to settle. Did it with a posse this time too


Frank's homie T-Ray got it going pretty quickly. Sorry I cut your hand off, but this was my first shot of the session


But the bushes were right in my angle. Frank and I used our good ol' boy upbringings to good use and bushwhacked that bush right on down


John Reece, working it out. He killed it


The young bucks filmed 2nd angles. Footy check


Then we focused our attention to the other trannies at the spot


But the sun showers were blowing it for us. John went to work


Wanted to go 2 for 2, but the humidy was too much



Posse deep


Yeah, Tall Tee

Thanks, Gator homies
