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.

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.
Cookin up rubber outside.
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.

10/14/2014
Finally, we were in town to have our first event at The Boardr Headquarters after a super busy summer and fall of events in everyone else's backyard. I've got a few photos and Joe has an episode of On The Boardr from what turned out to be a super chill and fun day of bikes, skateboarding, a little booze, and a lot of friends meeting a lot of other friends as these worlds of four wheels and two wheels spent an entire day together. I hope you were here!
Emerica Made Chapter One
9/14/2013
Jeremy Leabres sets it off in the intro for Chapter One of the Emerica Made series. How about that frontside bluntslide to bigspin out where he lands in the next county over? Damn, I don't know Jeremy at all, but I'm looking forward to seeing him skate in person for sure. We got the same half Philipino, half white status. Jeremy's part is isane and it only goes up from there with Leo, Collin, and Brandon, plus the ripping TM. You've probably already seen it by now, but you know it's worth another check. Emerica is killing it as usual.
Brandon Westgate's Emerica B Sides

Wow, this is 13 minutes of damn good raw skateboarding from Brandon Westgate. That heelflip over the SF stairs in the beginning is so sick. It closes with the attempts on that 360 flip out of the ditch.
