Registration Is Now Open: Grind for Life Series

Published 1/23/2014 by Rob Meronek

The Grind for Life Series in Association with The Boardr is a Florida series of all ages/skills skateboarding contests. You should pre-register now to save your spot. We are certain that most divisions will fill up and have no room for on-site registration. We will do our best to accomodate spots in the more popular divisions that fill up, but space and time is limited. Thanks and we'll see you at the Contest!

Let me just ramble for a second. When I was 25, I thought I might be too old for skateboarding. I was stupid. When I turned 35 and was still skating just as fine as I was when I was 25, I wanted to reach back in time and slap the crap out of my 25 year old self for thinking that. Now that I'm well past 35 and still pushing and snapping (although much lower), I know the age hurdle in skateboarding is almost purely psychological. Check the divisions in these contests. 50 and up! If you fell off skating because you got "old" in your mid-20's, it's time to get back on that thing before you're truly old before your time, not just psychologically old. Skateboarding is the fountain of youth, ya'll.

Let me warn you, this article and this new feature I'm starting called Skate by Numbers is nerdy, grow'd up, and bid'niss as hell. It has to do with all the things you probably hate in school if you're still stuck in that youth jail. Math, spreadsheets, numbers, addition, multiplication, logic, and all that.

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.

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.
