Some of the Lakai team was in Tampa Bay recently hosting the Spring Roll All Ages Contest at SPoT. While they were here Stevie Perez, Sebo Walker, and Miles Silva did a ton of skating. Unfortunately Guy Mariano was injured so he didn’t get to skate. With the SPoT Life crew as their tour guides they skated the new Lakeland park, downtown Tampa, Bradenton Riverwalk park, the Fun City Go-Kart Track D.I.Y. spot, and ended their weekend at the Bro Bowl. Check it.
I just realized that everyone in these photos is regular-footed. Frontside carves for days, a boneless, and a boardslide. Doesn’t take much to have a good time at the Bro Bowl.

Etnies Europe riders Axel Cruysberghs, Douwe Macare, and friends were in town a few weeks ago for the 2011 Tampa Am. When Axel didn’t make the cut, they headed out on a filming mission, hitting up some familiar Tampa street skating spots, and of course, the Bro Bowl. Check out the really nice montage below, and be sure to take a look at the killer photos of the trip from Switn here.
I can’t even begin to describe how stoked I am on this. The Bro Bowl has been such an important part of my life for over 20 years now. ..I’ve got so many stories, good & bad, I wouldn’t even know where to start. The point is that the Bro Bowl is a very important & historical part of skateboarding, not just in Florida, but worldwide! This documentary is really impressive. I suggest cracking open a cold one and sitting back for 45 minutes to enjoy it. – Nicks.
