The Boardr BBQ at the Dream Driveway

Published 12/5/2013 by Rob Meronek

If you were at our BBQ yesterday at the Dream Driveway, thanks for stopping by for a roll and some sauce from either Red Bull or PBR depending on what side of 21 you're on. It's nice to see everyone in our hometown again for the big skateboard contest this weekend. I'm looking forward to watching Tampa Am without 14 hour work days anymore.

Porpe and Jared Lucas on the Grill

Porpe has BBQ skills naturally running through his Latin blood. That steak and chicken fed a steady stream of people passing through.

Dylan Perry Gap to Something

What is Dylan Perry going to gap to this weekend?

Jereme Knibbs is Back

Jereme is back from his first trip to Europe. He spent it on tour with Lil Wayne and Young Money. We're getting some great stories out of him.

Jamie Foy Gap to Something

Jamie Foy made quite a splash at Tampa Am last year. I'm sure he'll repeat this year.

Cameron Hunt FSEC

My fellow FSEC member Cameron Hunt. This dude has goats. Do they eat your t-shirts?

Zion Wright in Tampa

This will be Zion's first Tampa Am this weekend.

Scott Bentley

Scott Bentley probably skates the Dream Driveway more than Clements does.

JS Lapierre

JS Lapierre is here with the full Canadian crew.

Pat Tremblay Blunt Fakie

We don't usually see much going down on the tightest tranny in the driveway. Pat Tremblay's got a blunt fakie on it.

John Montesi

John Montesi got a break from kid duty today. Mine starts a week from Monday when my first child will be born.

Zach Godlewski from Texas

Zach Godlewski is here from Texas. He's got nowhere to go but up from 135th place last year. We're backing you, Zach!

Mike Rogers from Grind for Life

One of the smaller projects we're working on is helping Mike Rogers out with a Grind for Life project in Florida involving a few contests open for all. We'll have some details on that soon.

Austin England in Tampa

One of my favorite artists is back in town through all of December.

Chris Blake on the River

Chris Blake takes a break from the front yard with a cast or two in the back yard.

Jorge Shooting

Jorge, shortly before a running touchdown dance because he shot down an innocent Red Bull can.

Seamus Supplies the PBR

Thanks for supplying the PBR, Seamus!

Pat Stiener

Pat Stiener is on his regular video logging duty this weekend.

Kevin Wilkins and PBR

A pellet gun, PBR, and Kevin Wilkins equals classic Florida backwoods.

Scotty Conley

Scotty Conley is a regular visitor to The Boardr porch and offices.

Treshan Oshaughnessy

Treshan Oshaughnessy is a Largo resident at the moment.

Chris Blake BSTS

Chris Blake is now in the front yard on a back tail.

Alejandro Burnell and Jett Eaton

Jon Cosentino Stale Fish

Jon Cosentino can pick some grapefruit while he's up there on this stale fish.

Red Bull MXT

Cullen rolls this thing all around Florida. Thanks for parking it here and filling the airwaves.

Top of the Dream Driveway

The top of the Dream Driveway is better than the flat bottom on a vert ramp for games of SKATE. Tyler's got a fakie 360 flip and a letter for you.

Ben Patterson Front Crook

Ben was part of the deep Canadian crew.

Zack Ferguson Frontside Nosegrind Fakie

We're going to have to get a Canadian flag if any more show up. Zack Ferguson is taking this frontside nosegrind to fakie.

Bigfoot in the Dream Driveway

Out here in these parts, you can have a sasquatch sighting if you look close enough into the brush.

Patrice Tremblay Stinker

Pat Tremblay was blasting the stinkers over the hip.

Tyler Hunger BSTS

As we expected, Tyler has grown up to be ripping young man.

Jereme Knibbs Backside Ollie

Jereme has to ollie that grass in the foreground to a quick setup for this king sized backside snap.

Piro Sierra

Piro Sierra lives in NYC, but comes and stays down here in Florida during winter. That pretty much makes him Canadian.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot

This is what heavy metal parking lot looks like in the Dream Driveway.

Uncle Sam's Haircut

Uncle Sam got his hair did before the big contest this weekend. Judges better take notice.

Justin Ryan

Is Justin Ryan going to be employee #5 at The Boardr? If that happens, I'm preparing the full fluff style press release with the headline, "Staff at The Boardr Grows Leaps and Bounds by 25%!!" More on that later.

The Moon and Skies

The moon and skies are looking amazing as the sun sets on our BBQ. Thanks to everyone that stopped by!

Alex B is no longer on sneak attack missions when it comes to the booze. Welcome to the post 21 world, Alex.

Finally Home - Dream Driveway Session

I feel like a broken record talking about how much I’ve traveled this summer, but damn it’s nice to be home for a bit. There were a few times this year that the coping on the Dream Driveway got a little rusty. So no better way to grind that surface rust right off than to have a few friends over. One of my childhood buddies, James Luedde, is a photographer, and kept asking to shoot some pics, so we hooked it up. Keep in mind that this is his first time ever shooting skating. Not bad.

We can't make this a wide open public event since it's Ryan's house, but we do have a few select people over during the big Tampa Am weekend to kick it off with some food, drink, and shred at the #DreamDriveway. This year, we put up some of Jorge's year end bonus money for certain tricks, the biggest being $500 for a no grab ollie over the whole quarterpipe. It was handled! Wow, thanks everyone in town for stopping by.
