TAMPA, FL – Its on and the Tampa Pro 2014, presented by Nike SB is back for their 20th annual contest & competition. If its like anything from last year the event promises to be a showdown of elite skater athletes. There’s $75k on the line for the pro purse. The United States Whos Who of skateboarding is about to unfold and this is the official update from the authority of Florida skateboarding.

It all takes place March 21st through the 23rd. The regular admission to skate starts on Thursday March 20th noon to 9p.m. The nighttime activities include an Art Show of Assorted Collectives featuring 20+ artists with a passion for skateboarding in their nostalgia-based artwork, happening at The Bricks. The $75,000 purse is split between the top skaters of the contest as follows: 1st: $20,000, 2nd: $15,000, 3rd: $10,000, 4th: $5,000, 5th: $4,000, 6th: $3,000, 7th: $2,000, 8th: $1,750, 9th: $1,500, 10th: $1,250, 11th: $1,000, 12th: $1,000.

Sean Malto is a strategic skateboarder and uses his brain on every run.
Shane O’Neill a pro skateboarder from Australia hopefully will be competing in the 2014 Tampa Pro.
Nyjah, the winner of numerous Street League Titles, will be trying to avenge his loss to Luan in last year’s Tampa Pro.
P-Rod has turned his celebrity skateboarding image into a Hollywood actor persona appearing in 4 films: Vicious Circle, Street Dreams, Yeah Right!, and Forecast.
Curren turned pro in March 2013, and his first professional contest was the Tampa Pro, where he placed 15th.
Street League professional skateboarder, Manny Santiago gets ready at the Tampa Pro Contest.

IMHO the most exciting part of last years competition for FL skateboarding comes when the pros throw-down at the annual best trick contest, sponsored by Silver Trucks. This year a solid ante is one the line valued as follows: 1st: $3,000, 2nd: $2,000, 3rd: $1,000, 4th: $1,000, 5th: $1,000 On Friday the doors open early at 9a.m. so get your early-bird cap on and hit the bleachers to watch the pros get it on in practice-mode all day long.

That means Nyjah is skating on Saturday and a reason everyone should attend the qualifiers.“

Noon marks a VIP Street Contest, a 5pm riders meeting and at only 9p.m., the park shuts down to get ready for their big day. See the complete agenda below.
