Published 1/6/2014 by Rob Meronek
We're still lining up plans for a big ol' am series and all that, but while we figure that plan out, we went ahead and set up an easy one. We're proud to announce that Grind for Life has teamed up with us to bring an all ages/skills series contest to our home state of Florida this year. Each one is a street and a bowl contest except for the last one at The Boardr Headquarters. The Grind for Life Series in Association with The Boardr has five stops set at various parks all around the state. We'll have additional details and online sign-up ready to go soon, for now, here's the information on the confirmed stops so far.

HiDefJoe has a video recap of a great day of skating from young to old at the first stop of the Grind for Life Series in association with The Boardr. We weren't sure if 1 or 100 of you would enter. Turns out it was 143 with everyone bringing a crew of family and friends for a nice day on wheels with a good sized crowd and great Florida weather to match. Damn, it couldn't have been any better. I'll tell you the rest of the story in my photos below.
Grind for Life Series at New Smyrna Beach, Florida: Video, Photos, and Recap
4/14/2014
I've got some photos and HiDefJoe has the video. The skateboarding at last weekend's New Smyrna Beach stop of the GFL Series was all over the spectrum of different types and ages of skateboarding as usual, but this time, the bowl portion was most memorable. The street course there is not the best in the world, but just as skateboarders do, you make the best of what you've got. There were parent/child combos, toddlers, teens, girls, grown ass men, and extra grown 50+ men all ripping all day. Thanks to everyone that made it out to another one.

Mike Goodwine just alerted me to this breaking story on a Florida sinkhole creating some amazing skate spots in Winter Haven, Florida. Damn! We just left town for three weeks. This thing will definitely be a crater by then. For now, I hope you can make it there for a quick snap off one of those bumps or a sketchy carve around those flimsy walls.
