LAKELAND, FL – That was a really cool contest for skateboarding. Ive been to many shows since we entered Florida; Palm Bay, Cocoa Beach, Jacksonville, Melbourne, Orlando, Tampa, even Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. This one stood out with clarity. Grind for Life Series has potential and serious skateboarding professionals are behind it. There was divisions for everyone including a women’s division, adult men’s division, old dudes, all on a street course!

The vibe was inviting and there were more than 140 skaters who competed on a course that had an unbelievable amount of things to shred. There was plenty of other things for others to do too, like get a haircut, — there was barbers cutting hair (very, very thoughtful!) There was free breakfast & coffee, Beckys Hot Dogs (yummie), good-clean-sounding amplification of punk, rock music &announcing (very, very nice for the parento’s).
