I have been in talks with Bryan Schaeffer since he opened his new restaurant and bar, The Bricks, in Ybor City. We had been wanting to do a live feed of some Vans event coming up. When Vans announced the Hollywood Downtown Showdown for October 2nd, it was on. We set up at the bar as we watched various pros hick themselves at and down each obstacle. I have to admit the Zero volcano was Gnarly and guys were going for it. For more info. and coverage go to skateparkoftampa.com.
The next day, Paul Coots and I hit the new Gainesville skatepark on the way home. The Westside crew came up as they were traveling home from the Top Shop contest that weekend in Wilmington, NC. Overall, it was a great weekend filled with skating, friends and fun.
That new bar looks sick Cultrain!
