Grind for Life Bradenton Photos, Video, and Results

Published 10/14/2014 by Rob Meronek

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.

Backside 360 at Grind for Life Bradenton

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.

Brody Boggs Flyout at Grind for Life Bradenton

The young ones were really attracted to this awkward spine. Brody's got a launcher over it.

Garr's also 52 and still shredding with no end in sight.

Smith Vert at Grind for Life Bradenton

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.

Backside Boneless at Grind for Life Bradenton

Buck shows you how to do a backside boneless, no sag, no drag, no lag.

Jake Wooten Boneless at Grind for Life Bradenton

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.

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.

This past weekend was very eventful for the skateboarding world. Street League Pro Open went down in Los Angeles, most of The Boardr crew was in Las Vegas for the Zappos Rideshop and Mr. Grind for Life himself, Mike Rogers, was in Orange County, California for the Vans Pool Party. But the most important event of the weekend was the Grind for Life Series at Ramp 48 in Ft. Lauderdale. Here are the photos, videos, and results.

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.
