Free Entry for First Timers
What keeps you from entering a skateboard contest? If it's the cost, we got you for FREE if you've never been to GFL before. The next one is in Zephyrhills on February 13. Yep, if you've never skated one before, we got you covered on your first one. Just show up on site at registration and you're all set. If it's the butterflies, we got you, too. GFL contests are super fun and casual, have divisions for all skaters from beginners to girls to sponsored to dudes older than your dad. You'll make some new friends for sure. I think you're out of excuses now, right? Okay, see you in Zephyrhills!
