Southbound and Down II Presented by Emerica

Published 9/26/2015 by Rob Meronek

Well it was just as we billed it: Bikes, boards, beers, homies, and all the good things that results from that mix. What a Saturday at The Boardr HQ in Tampa. Thanks to everyone that was a part of it from the booth vendors to the two wheelers to the four wheelers and random lurkers.

Chicken Trap Lunch at Southbound and Down

Kicked off my day with a lunch banger from the Chicken Trap food truck.

You can get some new permanent marker here.

Thom Nickelson was OG Tampa before whatever OG you're claiming about Tampa. Damn, blew it on the blurry photo.

Devin rode up on a bike and finished riding up on a skateboard.

Amelia, you're supposed to give wristbands before the kids start drinking, not as their slamming them.

Buck Tooth Will made a trip to Tampa out of his Saturday here at Southbound to rep his company Still Borne.

It's 10 degrees hotter back here but that's not stopping Treshan who didn't even know this was going on until he hear the mayhem a few blocks a way.

Nick in all white powers through this frontside nosegrind.

Cookin up rubber outside.

Interesting Whips at Southbound and Down

There were some interesting whips in the lot.

Whenever I see someone with these handlebars, I just picture someone stir frying crap in a wok. Maybe it's because I'm oriental.

Look at this vegan or whatever kickflipping on that fabulous meal. Pick up the hot dog grip and more right here.

It's time to creep in the Slow Races.

Zach has proper Slow Race concentration.

I think the Slow Race is a crowd favorite.

People went deep in the raffle game.

That's how you come up.
