USF Session and Brooksville Session

That weekend was nothing, but skating. I drove to Lakeland to hitch a ride from Bobby that same night we skated at the USF car garage. We met some other skaters that night from a different crew too. We had a fun time racing each other in the garage. Then Kyle showed up with the ramp he made. That night was the first night i ever jumped off a ramp with a longboard and as you can see i did pretty good for the first time.


The next day we start off waking up at 6:15am to get ready for a Brooksville Session. Reason why we get up that early in the morning is so that we can skate more and to beat the heat. All together there was a 8 people that showed up including a report name We picked her up cause she was interested in the Tampa Longboarding Society and Longboarding in general. At the middle of the day we met up with another group of longboarders about 8 - 10 more people showed up. We had a blast and lots of pictures and filming was happening as well. By the end of the day i was beat, but it was worth it check out the video Bobby put together using Youtube editor. Also check out the video Krystel Knowles made in a short amount of time.

 Krystel also wrote an Article about TLS. Check it out

Penscola Carnage On The Coast

Grasy Outlaw Race 2011

Grassy was my first major hill i skated back in Dec 2009. Grassy is located at Clermont and is known for it long downhill. The average speed is 35MPH and at time it can be higher due to the high winds. Anyways i never thought a race would ever be possible till now. Thank to Will for organizing it. He did a good job in doing so. Oh and for those who don't know what an Outlaw race mean. It means racing without permission from the the city basically a non suction race. I didn't place in this one, but i was happy to i was not far from the best skaters in FL. These guys been Down hilling longer than i have, but soon ill will get there. Enjoy the video!

Tampa Longboarding Society - Goes to Clermont

OK so finally TLS goes to Clermont and i didn't want to miss this. I been skating with these guys since back in November 2009. I seen these guys get good and on top of that i own them a lot for welcoming me to skate with them. Cause if it wasn't for them i wouldn't be pushing myself to become a good skater and i'm still learning of course and pushing myself. I miss skating with these guys. It isnt easy trying to maintain a life and drive to Tampa one a week like i used to. So on April 30th 2011 we all decided that be a good days to skate and to film. We all had a good time. This is TLS in bright day light lol not bombing car garages at night, but bombing Hills! Enjoy guys

Skating with PCP


Most people think of PCP being a drug which is true, but not in this case PCP means Polk County Poser. It is a local Skate Crew I skate with at times. Ben Taylor and Cameron Kirkner both run the crew. These guys are funny as hell and cool to be around with. These guys are not much into Downhill's, but they do kick ass in sliding their boards. That day Marc Ondrejko joined us. He is a pretty good skater and he was filming that day. It was an awesome time hanging with these guys. Our last run was crazy as hell. Wish we had video of it, but the battery died. It was me between Marc and Ian bump drafting them while bombing a sketchy hill. We kept it tight while a SUV past us. Sounds dangerous, but it was fun as hell. A lot could have gone wrong on that last run. If Ian lost control we all would have been fucked. He was shaking lol, but he remained calm and we all were holding on to each other while bombing the hill. It is time like those that really makes me feel alive. Here is a video Marc Ondrejko made for PCP Enjoy!

That day was a different day we skated some new spots and had a blast. I had some close calls that day as well. I fell pretty hard on my head. Thank god I was wearing a helmet, but that didn't stop me from skating. I got up and skated some more. Here is a video my friend Riley lux made enjoy.

Miami Longboard Crew's Winter Outlaw Event

Here is a Video from this past Saturday. It was supposed to be a Outlaw Garage Race, but it got canceled cause it wasn't well organized. We also kept being kicked out cause of Security too, so we decided to just skate for fun which we did. It was an awesome night we didn't finish skating till 4am. I didn't even get much sleep either that night. Alot of people from out of state showed up. It was a fun night. At lease i didn't go home empty handed. I won myself some Gullwing Trucks. Thanks to Andew Mercado for providing them prizes. In this video I'm wearing a Black Helmet, Black Ramones shirt and brownish jeans enjoy!
