CLERMONT 5K and 10K SKATE Distance Push Race

So i decided to join a push race in Clermont, Florida presented by The Ian Tilmann Foundation. It was a fun Race, but challenging cause of the hills. I skated over 15 miles for sure in this event.

CaliFlorida Longboarda Cruza Palooza 2013

Ever since i did the Iron Pineapple Push racing in February, Push racing has caught my attention once again. I guess the fact that I'm getting older and want to stay fit is the reason why. Another reason why is because i notices the more i do it the better i get. I been lasting longer and pushing faster. It is still a working process. I need to work out at least 5 days a week and eat better if i want to push further. It is the reason why i been joining more push races this year. Longboarda Cruza Palooza 2013 was hosted by CaliFlorida. This race is getting bigger every year. This is a fun event especially if you have a family. Three races to choose from 12.5 miles for all-ages, 4.4 miles for all-ages, and 2.6 miles for 8 years old and under. Their was cash prizes and goodies for the winners. Their was also a lot of give away for everyone else and food for everyone. Did i mention that this race is located 2 minutes from the beach and is surrounded by restaurants and bars? it is pretty much a small paradise for longboarders who love to race, drink, and swim. Here are pictures from this year push race.

The Iron Pineapple 2013

The CaliFlorida Team (Juan Molina, Melanie Leilani Castro, Julian F. Rodriguez, and Brice Barrera) goes to The Iron Pineapple which is an 11 Mile and 3 Mile sprint skateboard push race along the Green River Parkway through both St Lucie and Martin County. Race was hosted by Brett Allen. I went to this race last year, but this year I'm in better shape than i was last year and i was pretty satisfied. This year the weather was the same as it was last year cold and windy. The 3 miles sprint was a good warm up, but when it came to the 11 mile i was ready. I kept a constant push and made it to the finish line in 53 minutes and 5 seconds. Hopefully next year i will do better and beat my own record. Here are some pictures and a video i made of the race.

Puerto Rico, Guajataka 2013

I've been going to the Guajataka DH event for the past two years, but this third year was a game changer for sure. RAIN!! It's never rained when I've competed for the past two years. On top of that, this was the first time I competed in the slide jam too. There was rain during the slide jam, but it made it a lot more fun. I stayed at the House of Doggz across the street from the Florida House. This is the perfect place to stay if you love you skate, not only did it have a half pipe, but there is a bar inside with an awesome view of the beach. For only $65 a night, you get a room with AC and food!

House Of The Doggz

Puerto Rico is an awesome place to visit for sure and the races are always fun and crazy. This year there were a lot more people which is awesome but it made the race a little unsafe for the racers and the spectators. As you can see in this video Spectators were reckless during a heat Skate House Media

Skating a local hill.

I try to skate as much as i can at the local hills i got around here. When i started Longboarding my only focus was ground slides and Downhill racing. This year is going to be different i started freeriding back in June and i been hooked. My main focus this year is to skate more switch. I been skating switch, so that i can be more comfortable in skating. Here is a video i made at a local hill i like to call PCP Fluffy Land. PCP is known as Polk County Posers they are a group of skaters that skate in the area this video was filmed at. If it wasn't for them i would have never found this hill.
