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
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!
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
