Day By Day At Tampa Pro 2003

Sunday, March 16, The end of the day


So Tony Trujillo wins it. Check out this video of one of his runs in the finals and you'll see why. I don't think there were any obstacles he didn't hit, including the big rail, all while going 100 miles an hour and with the style that all skaters wish they had. I'm sure you're going to hear about one other skater in the Contest that didn't agree, so I'll skip mentioning it here. Everyone does dumb stuff every now and then when they're a kid and hopefully the reason for it was simply that.

Right after the results were read and most of the crowd cleared out of the park, I skated the bowl with Paul Rodriguez and Javier Sarmiento. They're both pretty decent tranny skaters. I saw Paul learn ice plants to fakie during that session - not something you probably see very often.

At the Contest After-Party, things started to get a little rowdy as usual, but then the main instigator was thrown out of the bar. They changed the music up from punk to reggae or something to calm everyone down I think. A few of the good photos from the night are also below. I guess they're not too exciting if you weren't there, so next year we'll see you here.

What's Up at SPoT: Random Posts From Over the Years

I've been posting random ramblings to this What's Up blog on the SPoT site since 1999. Here's a random list of some of my favorite posts over the years...Rob.
In Hollywood With The Party Team = Danger (Apr 2008)
Posted by Rob on Wed, Apr 16, 2008
We had a full blown barn burner at the Captain and Casey Show this week. The Skatepark of Tampa Party Team was there and yes, we partied and it counted as actual work. Wow. Check some photos:
Hate Thy Neighbor (Sep 2008)
Posted by Rob on Thu, Sep 25, 2008
While sitting down to have a nice quiet dinner with a little music last night, I got another noise complaint at the paper walls building they put up downtown called Skypoint. When the security guard knocked on my door, we had a laugh about how retarded my neighbor is and how low the noise in my place was. He followed it up with, "Hey are you the guy from Skypoint Sucks.com?" Ha! Yep, that's me, buddy. Come to Skypoint on Saturday so you can laugh at my way cool neighbor while we destroy this place after Chris Deacon's art show on Saturday. The building management is just as goonie as the dude living next to me. Should be a real interesting time. See you there.
Public Service Announcement (Jun 2009)

Just because this Krew Tank Top is $19.95 this week for Wizard's Weekly WTF Deal doesn't mean you need to be wearing it while you're filming skateboarding stunts. Save it for the beach or mellow skate days. Thank you.
Creating New Skateboarders in our Local Neighborhoods (Dec 2009)
Posted by Rob on Mon, Dec 21, 2009
Boards for Bros is Skatepark of Tampa's charity. We collect used skate stuff all year long, plus have our friends at skate companies donate things to build complete skateboards. Special thanks to Girl, Element, Royal, Ocean Avenue, Sole Tech, Indy, and Adio. Each year on the Saturday morning before the Ghetto Christmas Party, we pile them all in a truck and drive around looking for kids who could use a hook up. Check out photos and video footage here: Boards for Bros 2009: The Day We Distribute
