Grind for Life Series Presented by Marinela at Knoxville

Published 6/12/2017 by Rob Meronek

Stop number five is in the books for the 2017 season of Grind for Life. Next up is Houston this weekend! The Boardr Bus is driving straight from there to Texas as we speak. Thanks to everyone who skated at this stop. Nate has a video recap and Chaz has photos below. Check updated seasons rankings and the full schedule for the rest of the year at GLFSeries.com.

Between running all these skateboarding shindigs like The Boardr Am and Grind for Life Series, we have some downtime during the week while the Boardr Bus drives across the country. Nate has a bit of nature in Knoxville and some street skating we got in here, too.

Check out all skateboarding events and when we'll be in your town at on our events list.
