MIAMI – Did you ever want to go to the rodeo? Well the skateboard rodeo is coming to town. It’s Miami’s best skateboard park

competition and this skate contest is sure to attract a ton of cowboys who will try to wrangle in the $3,000 in cash and prizes. It will be held at the North trails Action Sports Skate Park built by Sphon Ranch Skate Park builders.

The purpose of the Skateboard Rodeo is to help raise funds and educate our community on new and unique local Floridian 501c3 non-profit organizations.

This year we will be teaming up with two amazing charities; Grind for Life and Amigo Skate Charity. The mission of the Grind for Life organization is to provide financial assistance to cancer patients and their families when traveling long distances to doctors and hospitals. In addition, they educate and inspire these patients and families concerning cancer survival and recovery.

It’s a good cause, it shows the Rodeo that their event is worthy to continue next year, and we need all the great events we can get in South Florida. IT MAKES SENSE!
ABOUT Amigo Skate Charity is based in Miami Florida. They work locally to help provide at risk youth with skateboard equipment, positive role models and skate park scholarships. The Amigos also travel to Havana Cuba to provide underprivileged children on the island with free skateboards, art supplies and music equipment.

Nyjah on NBC

Nyjah Houston has been televised on many television stations around the world and now he can add NBC’s Today Show to his list.

The dean-of-mean was on the show promoting his favorite past-time SKATEBOARDING. And it’s good news for the entire world of skaters out there. Nyjah is the “trojan horse” of skating and he’s won more championships that we can count on our toes and hands combined.

He really shines for the sport and we are all lucky he’s involved in it. This opens the doors to more notability of skateboarding as a “sport” even though it’s the ultimate “lifestyle”. The difference between the two is that you can have fun and exercise with a lifestyle for your entire life, whereas a sport only exists for a period of time, usually in your youth.

So without further do here is a clip of the TV network’s first pro skateboarder, probably since Tony Hawk.

Like it, Love it, whatever, but be aware that if you do you are contributing to more future encounters with athletes like Nyjah being featured on internationally known television stations.

Pro Skater Gets Shoe Deal

By

GO MANNY! GO! – Manny Santiago is currently having a summer filled with milestones: He recently welcomed his first child, and now he’s celebrating the release of his first pro shoe with Axion, the “Mijo.” Mijo, which affectionately means “my boy” in Spanish, was a nickname given to him by Axion team manager Mark Brandstetter, who nicknames everyone while on skate tours. When it was time to pick a name for Santiago’s pro model, Brandstetter immediately suggested “Mijo,” and Santiago happily agreed.
