There's nothing to skate in here yet, so when the Shaqueefa crew stopped by The Boardr Store today, a flat ground and scraps session went down where HiDefJoe was there to point the lens. Thanks for stopping by, ya'll! Awww, it's our first video edit from the TF. Another baby milestone we stacked up here.

The long and downhill slope to Ryan's front doorstep is a driveway lined with skate stuff that we started referring to as the Dream Driveway. Yesterday there was a session with a few Tampa locals where I pointed digital devices to capture these images.

Right now I'm in the back of a truck with Clements and Porpe as we drive across the state of Florida for some meetings and a special private event we're assisting with in West Palm Beach.Our mobile internet is running and this is where I'm flipping the switch from. The Boardr Store is now live and our first tiny baby step into retail has started.

This week we're welcoming Asphalt Yacht Club to The Boardr Store. Instead of me interviewing them, they flipped it around this time and interviewed me. We talked about skate business and retail being tough, times where my favorite shoes must be placed in my mouth due to loose lips on the keyboard, and all the nerdness I'm attracted to like stats and reports on skateboarding.

Now that we've got some time to stop and breathe from having one big event behind us (NYC) and another one just about complete (Vegas), we can finally start dedicating some attention to the homefront. Yep, it's another baby milestone for us here at The Boardr. Today starts construction on our TF! We're going slow and calculated as usual with this project, too. I don't know my physical construction tools very well, but I do know there are some things in this photo that indicate concrete. Damnnnn, it's on. Feels like we're finally getting furniture in an empty home. Right now all I have for you is this one single photo.

OC Ramps sent a box of skateboard obstacles our way, so we phoned the homies and put them to use in our empty space. We're working on filling it up more after a busy summer of events wraps up.

This week on Skateboard Shopping with The Body features his own brand, Shaqueefa. It's an extra special one with a special guest and a special unveiling.

Pat Stiener opens it up with a part in It's All That. Following is a good crew of current Tampa locals like Aaron Austin and former ones like Kevin Coakley with the list going on all the way down to our filmer HiDefJoe whose travel belly is snapping his boards. Even Alex Donahue in there with a trick?!? I feel like I live in a big ol' real city when I see video parts filmed in all the blocks surrounding my downtown neighborhood. Thanks for finishing up this project, Frank Branca, as well as shredding in there yourself.

You may recently know Body from being on the mic at a skateboarding shindig or from watching him shop but his real role is the streets mayor of Tampa and all crusty outlying parts, including the Chief Exec at Shaqueefa Threads. Stephen Buggica hasrecently broken off a segment of his Mixtape masterpiece featuring Scotty the Body and cohort Manny Rodriguez.

Last night the bay doors went up after work and Porpe's grill skills got everyone fed while PBR and Red Bull kept everyone skating before we headed over to see On Any Sunday. I've got a few snaps...

That Robbie Kirkland and Dave Cruz intro! So good, followed by ripping on the part of them both as seen in another segment published by Buggica, lensman and clip stitcher of the masterpieces of Shaqueefa Mixtape Volumes, this one from number two.

After we finished up our new barge and obstacles here at HQ, we got together with Doom Sayers and planned a Best Trick Contest with a twist. Right at 8pm when it started, we revealed a trick list for cash. Chaos followed...
