A Florida Road Trip to the East Coast

Published 2/1/2014 by Rob Meronek

This past weekend, Porpe, Clem, and I took a road trip to the East Coast of Florida to bring Sean Malto, Matt Miller, Brad Cromer, and Steve-O to surprise our friend Jacob at his bar mitzvah. We skated, hung out at the party, and got some other business done while we were in town. Thanks Jacob and family for having us as part of your weekend. We had a great time. Maybe The Boardr should start doing celebrity birthday parties, too? I've got a camera dump here.

This cell phone edit is from when we first surprised Jacob with Sean, Matt, and Steve-O picking him up at his house.

Brad Cromer - Backside Heelflip

Brad Cromer joined us today. We're just down the street from his hometown and skated at his local park today. That is one super sized backside heeflip.

Brad's currently filming for the new Transworld video.

Sean Malto and Ryan Clements

This weekend we launched The Boardr Store. We got you on Sean Malto's Crail Clouds deck here. Sean's still recovering from his ankle smash and will be back on the board sometime around March or April.

Steve-O Handstands

Steve-O also has interesting skateboard stunts.

Steve-O Ollie Up Picnic Table

This picnic table is not quite "California regulation," but Steve-O has no problem snapping up.

Brad Cromer Kickflip Jupiter Park

How nice is it to have your casual kickflips looking like that? Damn, Brad. Deluxe stuff is on the way for The Boardr Store. Congrats Brad on recently going pro for Krooked.

Matt Miller Nollie Half Cab Heel

Matt Miller's nollie half cab heelflips are spring loaded. We've got Kayo gear coming soon for The Boardr Store also.

Ryan Clements Wallie Over

Clem's got a wallie over and out lookin all business. We've got adidas and other shoe brands in the works for The Boardr Store, too.

Matt Miller Nosegrind

Matt Miller's working on his DC shoe right now that will be out soon. And yes, you guessed it, we'll have it in The Boardr Store. Okay, that's enough store pushing from me. If your local shop doesn't have what you need, ask them to get it. If that doesn't work, soon we'll be fully stocked to help you out with getting it from us. We had to get going to the party after Matt's nosegrind on the extra large picnic table here.

Get Your Seat at the Bar Mitzvah

Get your seat at the bar mitzvah, it's time for Jacob to step into manhood.

Waking up on the East Coast of Florida

The next morning, we woke up early to a great sunrise and view thanks to Woodward's Gary Ream letting us use his condo.

MovieTicketscom Offices

While we were on this coast, we also stopped by the offices of MovieTickets.com. They have a few skateboarders and BMXers working there and want to get involved in the skateboarding events we're doing in 2014. We're looking forward to working with them. We got an interesting tour of their offices and some basics on their tech and operations that are based out of Boca.

Mike Goodwine just alerted me to this breaking story on a Florida sinkhole creating some amazing skate spots in Winter Haven, Florida. Damn! We just left town for three weeks. This thing will definitely be a crater by then. For now, I hope you can make it there for a quick snap off one of those bumps or a sketchy carve around those flimsy walls.
