We're up and working before the sun comes up. Thanks to the brands you see on these banners for backing the cause and all the good things we're up to with Grind for Life.
The registration line was shorter than ever at this stop? Why? Because most of you are signing up online now. That means you can completely skip this wait in line and go right to skating. You also save $5. Register online next time and make it easier on not just yourself, but the whole process in general. Thanks, y'all!
Zion with the back 50-50 into another 1st place for him. Check his profile, he has stacks of 1's in there.
Snack break! Thanks, Marinela.
Lots of people catching the shade under the bridge today.
Violet has become one of our favorite skaters over the past year. She's got the most supportive dad, too.
Street 13 to 15 with Blaze Helgerson, Hunter Soechtig, and Santiago Flores in top three.
Not too many dudes in the over 30 Division hitting this rail, but it helped Tim take home 1st.
Backflips please the crowd, but not the critics.
Jimmy on a frail, which is a frontside air to lein to tail. Not many people know that one.
Braden is an undercover ATV. Here's a lein to tail where he got 3rd in the Bowl Sponsored.
Bowl Intermediate was Kainalu Canubida aka Kai Kai, Jacob Jensen, and Roman Desmond in top three.
Bowl Masters was Jimmy Marcus aka The Greek, Ted Stracuzzi, and Pat Dewitte in top three.
Steven Mckaig took home the MovieTickets.com Clip of the Day. And that's a wrap for Bradenton!
The bowl crowd scattered quick when the rain hit, but they all came right back.
