Preparing for months for one of the biggest competitions in Florida, Bladesgiving has turned out to be one of the funnest and biggest rollerblading events in the Southern United States along with the Pow-wow. And we are only in our second year! Skaters gathered from all over the country for a chance to rank up the WRS points and take home some cash and the huge trophy. Tim Franken, out of San Diego, Razors rider Wake Schepman, out of PA, Pro SSM rider Joey Chase and Razors flow Sammy Chase, out of Orlando, just to name a few. Also, coming all the way from Canada was our good friend Kevin Lapierre, who hurt his ankle warming up, and had to drop out of the contest. He made that huge trip, and our sympathies are with him, and we hope he recovers very soon.
Held on May 29th was the first street comp held in Florida in a while – the O-Town Throwdown. People gathered from all over the state, Georgia, and even Tennessee for a chance at the $300 first prize. This is the official 2011 O-Town Throwdown edit!
Orlando, most of the time, marks the meeting point for all of us bladers here in the Sunshine State. Also, one of the main reasons we decided to hold the first of many strings of street competitions here in Florida. Meet up spot was Barnett Skatepark. A small park with a perfect mini and an across and down rail to warm up at. Waited there for about an hour for people to show up until we headed out to the first spot. Before we headed out I made sure everyone had directions and also got with the judges to make sure we were on the same page. Lending their knowledge about the sport and tallying points was Shima Pro Rider, Joey Chase; Razors Flow Rider, Sammy Chase; Be-Mag Drama Queen, Rob Squire; and local skate veteran, Nate Ent.
Some days ago, as I was planning this Florida tour and putting the flyer together with the city of Naples scheduled, the phone suddently rings: Grant Hinkle, an old friend whom I had first met in Tallahassee in 2003 during the very first Remz Tour (which was also the very first daily updated tour by the way..), calls out of the blue with some really good news: Not only was the skatepark of Fort Myers now under new YMCA management (the city was about to basically tear it down) but he also got himself a job there managing the place.
It seems like the guys from Remz love this tour life. After Chris Haffey's solo mission a couple weeks back throughout California Kato, Franky and Nick are now touring through the beaches and swamps of Florida. Yesterday they visited the Panhandle...
