Skatepark of Tampa

Brian, and the entire team, have created a one of a kind institution here in Tampa, dedicated to all things skateboarding. When I first came to Tampa, in early 1992, there really wasn't much going on for a twenty-something year old skateboarder from Washington D.C. I think there really was only Mike McGill's park in Oldsmar, at the time. I was so frustrated when skating downtown because of the gestapo control the local police had enforced on skateboarders at that time. There was a great community, though, with the Bro Bowl pretty much making up the epicenter. That all changed, however, with the establishment of SPOT. Now, years later, we can thank all the incredibly hard work, and community outreach that Brian, et al, have engendered, which has culminated in making the city of Tampa one of the most iconic skate scenes in the world. I'm now older in years, with a teenager of my own, who's completely engrossed in this well established skate boarding scene, all thanks to the years of hard work, and dedication of the SPOT family and the skateboarders whom call this region home. Do yourself a favor and come for an amazing session, while making sure to peruse one of the most well appointed skate shops around.
