Grind for Life Bradenton Photos, Video, and Results

You can get instant results from all our events as they happen on the Results page at TheBoardr.com/Results. I still can't believe that we have skateboarders from 6-years-old to 53-years-old skating all day in these events. We saw the sun come up on one side of the skatepark and saw it set on the other side as 150+ entries went through in all those divisions. I made so many new friends from tiny tikes to grown ups and hope you did, too.

Thanks to everyone that brought families and friends to another Grind for Life event. I hope to see you one last time in 2014 for the Awards and Annual Recap at The Boardr Headquarters. It's going to be a fun one remembering the year and sessioning The Boardr Mini.

Wow, look at that front foot on this backside 360. It's always amazing to see grown man style in the select few little guys that are lucky enough to have it. Roman hasn't hit the double digits in age yet.

How does a 52-year-old man still skate at this level? Take care of yourself while you're young and you will be, too, I hope. Mark Buncy, layback air.

Buck Smith has such properly executed transition moves. Someone needs to film a full instruction manual with him to pass along to the new generation. That's a smith vert.

This is my first time seeing Jake Wooten skate and just like most of the crowd, I experienced a jaw dropping. Jake's only 14 and looking insanely good in the bowl. It's going to be fun watching him come around on the bowl events in 2015. You'll see if you don't know him.
