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.
March 1 was like the true start to 2014 for us. This growing organization of friends we used to work with came together on this day to throw our first local skateboard shindig of the year. It felt really good to be all back working together under our new home at The Boardr. Joining us for event help this time were Scotty The Body, whose microphone banter combined with Ryan Clements' two cents will have you chuckling to yourself all day long. The jams on the airwaves were Adam Kearley that we reunited with for this event. Porpe and I were digital custodians while Justin Ryan, Jereme Knibbs, and Aaron Austin handled the detailed job of putting numbers to runs and jams for judging.
Thanks everyone. Thanks Mike Rogers for hitting us up late last year to run this series. And thanks to all the GFL sponsors who did everything from sending product, helping to promote it, and helping to make it fun on site all day: Asphalt Yacht Club, Z-Flex, Zumiez, Red Bull, MovieTickets.com, Indy, Stance, Matix, Tum Yeto, 187 Pads, Syndrome Distribution, Deluxe, Woodward, Nike SB, Bones Wheels and Bearings, Theeve Trucks, Dakine, Mob Grip, and Volcom.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.
