Tampa Trip 2

It would be a travesty if I neglected to post a review of Fatty and I's Tampa trip back in December.

After picking Fatty up early from the airport, we dropped in for the prelims on Friday night and saw some late night practices.

Here, Fatty was using his skills to put a little ATL in the pipe dust.

Before the comps on Saturday morning, we headed over to the famed (not to mention threatened) Bro Bowl. Although it is really simple and mellow, it is surprisingly fun to ride.

Here's a quick look at the bowl.

Doug committed the ultimate faux pas with this new school trick on sacred old school grounds.

That evening we went to this very nice park outside of Tampa, can't remember the name of it. It had a great pool though.

Sunday was great, we got to see a friend (Eli) compete and make it into the finals. He did really well and skated damn hard.

Here's a pic of Brian Schaefer starting the contest.

And, of course what would Tampa be without the crazy moat race. This turned nasty quick when everyone just started throwing eggs at each other instead of at the contestants. The kid who one looked awful. It's hard to believe it was worth it.

The trip could hardly have gone any better. It was really one of the best trips of my life.
