It’s coming up quick!

I’m off social media, so does anyone know what pros are saying they’re entering yet?

Also, any of you pals riding out there?

Stoked to see Elissa announced. Great to see her getting her flowers and praises recently. She deserves it all and more. I’ve seen BA there the last few years or so. They typically let him skate his run as first skater of the day. He usually graces us with a switch 360 flip on flat. Not sure who else is announced outside of that post but the usual suspects are almost always there. It’s the 30th anniversary so there will probably be some surprises. The new course looks fairly mellow. I would love to see a modern day Busenitz/TNT style run win. Not sure who that would be though. Also TNT has been confirmed to perform Saturday night, so no need to DM him like a man. It’s always cool seeing all these different skaters in person and watching them warm up or skate in between runs. All the interactions I’ve had with pros and industry people at Tampa Pro have always been very chill. No ones really a cool guy or dick in this environment, maybe slightly awkward at worst. I hope to see some fellow Pals there this year.

Him just sitting there in Cariumas isn't doin' it.

I think Ginwoo is technically still an AM. He skated at the last couple Tampa Am’s. Tampa Pro got a little strict like 5-6 years ago about letting ams enter the Pro contest. I’m surprised Jart hasn’t put his name on a bloard yet.

Tampa is sick for skating but the downtown spots can be a bust/hectic sometimes. There’s still some chill spots all around the city though and Bro Bowl is pretty close to SPoT.

Unfortunately I don’t know of anyone at the moment, but will keep my eyes peeled. I actually scored a VIP ticket last year from a random person selling them in SPoT IG comment section. It was surprisingly a smooth transaction, SPoT middle manned the deal so no one got ripped of.

Agreed I would turn him pro right away, I am sure anything with his name with it will sell really well in his age group.

I don't really understand how he can compete against Jah in X-Games but not in Tampa Pro. Although I do know Zitzer understands skateboarding a lot better than ESPN.

My theory is that whoever manages Ginwoo knows better than to let him turn pro for Fart.  Probably holding out for a ludicrous offer from Primitive, or some other company that’s even mildly respected.  Then again, we all know board checks are nothing compared to shoe and drink deals, so maybe I’m just talking out of my ass, and we will see a Ginwoo weed graphic in the not so distant future.

haha thanks man! Ever since I've had a board with my name on it, Tampa pro was never really on my radar but it actually seems pretty fun now that I think about it. Too late to schedule anything this year, but next year I think I'll make a solid effort to get out there and skate in the contest. Thanks for the confidence PALS!

Wilkins floats like no other but Tom has this ultra gnarly and powerful style mixed with crazy technique. that front blunt over the channel back in is insane!

Kirby on Nike is bizarre as hell to me

Mario McCoy was rocking the shoes that Torey skates for now…p408 or whatever

Grant really is leagues above everyone else in the control and grace department of skateboarding, and all the pros there knew it

Most pros there were tiny humans. Like 5’8 130lbs

Yuto isn’t a robot. He bailed almost every trick I watched him try

Antonio Durao is way more consistent than I ever would have imagined with his style

to be fair that random dude barged the best trick and was taking up time and space while trying some dumb flatbar trick (back feeble to 50?) and wasn't even getting close. id say giving him shit was warranted lol.

“I honestly didn’t recognize him without Nyjah standing next to him” regarding David Loy is probably the most controversial thing zitzer has ever said. Pretty funny.

That one announcer is so annoying.
[close]

I kind of liked his comment on Durao's shoe (Nike Ishod):
"I love Ishod, but there's not one nice thing I can say about those shoes"
[close]

I was talking more so about the other guy. Calling out the wrong tricks, doesn’t know if a trick was switch, going off topic about shit no one wants to hear about during peoples runs.
[close]

I think it's Kelly Hart
[close]

Def wasn’t smelly fart, although it did look like a taller skinnier version of Kelly. Yea he was going mad off topic, being a dick to some long haired homie during best trick (which was quite funny I guess) and being a dick in general, kept bringing up the money too haha
[close]

to be fair that random dude barged the best trick and was taking up time and space while trying some dumb flatbar trick (back feeble to 50?) and wasn't even getting close. id say giving him shit was warranted lol.

But ya dude was pretty annoying in general, I feel like he was trying to fill Tim O'Conners role as the funny shit talking MC but it just fell flat. The announcing in general was particularly rough even compared to other contests, and it felt like they were throwing skaters off during their runs with the constant spewing of dumb shit

It was Chris Blake. Orlando local

Chris Blake is actually a cool dude, I grew up in Orlando and he’s a real one.

Durao’s switch tre nose blunt should have at least been top 3. He was pretty much the only guy doing anything switch except for carpenter.

This is so true, 5th was straight disrespectful.

If you're looking to die of alcohol poisoning I've got a good Tampa Pro drinking game for you...

Drink every time someone 360 flips up the little euro gap.
Hmmm the announcer just made the same “drinking game 360 flip the euro” joke. I wonder where they’re getting their material.

Also, that dude Jake still skating a Blind board? Did nobody tell him?

They literally just made a joke regarding reading this thread and then did the classic pretend to not know what slap is, to I browse sometimes, to yeah I have an account. Lol @ that. Cowards.

What’s good with midler. No board sponsor, “pro for guess jeans Bronson and Hardies.”  Dude went from wearing OffWhite everything to looking like he just stepped out of Marshall’s wearing zumiez exclusive puffy vans.


Hopefully they post the full vert contest. The shit dudes are just casually doing on vert ramps right now is fucked up. It must be fun as fuck to be able to just boost backside nosegrabs set up airs like these dudes do let alone all the other cool shit.

You're right it wasn't. Although he does have the same speech patterns and cadence, altbeit a slightly lower and more relaxed timbre.



Yuto isn’t a robot. He bailed almost every trick I watched him try



I reckon he can't be bothered to waste the energy and just throws things out there to test the waters. Landing a trick is just a matter of will for him

Finals was great, yuto's run was crazy, got a bit of busenitz vibes, great stuff.

Dashawn definitely skated well. Gap to noseblunt was really nice. I’m pretty sure he missed the ender in each of his runs, he was going for 360 flip noseslide or crooks down the handrail. Also noticed he seemed to get off his board a lot and set back up to drop in.

@Southernmost You need to go watch Street Dreams and learn up some history about someone doing The Nac at Tampa.

Thanks Dave. Definitely familiar with Street Dreams and the Nac but he was going for 360 noseslide on majority of his attempts, landed a couple in practice. He caught the 360 flip into crook on one of his attempts. I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean to land into the crook but would’ve been cool if he rode away from it and I bet the judges and crowd would’ve loved it. He also did a front 270 lip but landed into a Fakie smith and still muscled it out and made it look smooth.

@BurgerCop yeah I don’t remember Yanko getting tech or flipping his board but his speed and power definitely packed a punch. To get whatever place he did was low in my opinion. The nose pick on the bird perch, front smith across the long flat bar gap over the rest of the ramp, back 3 fatty to flatty on the A. All stuff no one else was doing. I’m pretty sure Jamie Foy’s winning run a couple years ago didn’t have any flip tricks, so it’s definitely possible to win without flip or tech tricks.
