It still continues to today with eight years worth of the top magazines logged in full detail page by page with the skater, trick, and relevant company linked. Years later there are hundreds of Foot Fetish photos stacked with everyone from Cameron Diaz to South African tribesmen. Foot Fetish later grew into a Facebook App I wrote to automate and remove the agony of waiting in line overnight for Nike Quickstrike releases.
Started a Publishing Empire I remember opening a copy of this magazine called Juice and saying to myself, "They should call this thing Frontside Grind Magazine. The result: nearly fake magazine covers with people doing frontside grinds matched with whatever silly cracks I could take on them. A few years in, when Tony Hawk Tweeted a joke about it saying his lifelong career goal was to get a cover of Frontside Grind Magazine , I pretty much shit my pants and danced.
It got to the point where the actual former employees started a MySpace page dedicated to it. Still to this day, people reference the FSEC as a club they're proud to be in. Since , Tampa Am has been providing ground for best amateur skateboarders in the U.
To register for a Damn Am go to DamnAm. Registration will generally open two months before each stop. And here are the winners: 1st Place: Hina Maeda. Tampa Am is accessible to male and female skaters from around the world. There are many different types of skateparks. He comes in for that, and you all don't broadcast out.
It usually just leaks once he hits the ground, right? You got it. They call us a month or a week in advance. They just want to come in through the back, and we just accommodate him where we can, because he's a celebrity, so the last thing we want is that dude walking through the front with people mobbing him.
I haven't really had that one-on-one time with him, but anytime I briefly just said, "Thanks for being here," we had a talk about pro skateboarder Greg Lutzka being his favorite dude. Nothing too intimate. It's just usually in passing, because I'm the one hosting the contest, so I didn't really have enough time to kick it with him. He's so engaged around people wanting his attention or the contest that we've never really had that intimate setting to just kick it after hours.
Does he go to pro skateboarding tournaments around the country? Is that a thing he does? I could totally lie and say he only comes to our event, but he loves to skate, and while he's on tour, he tries to go to as many parks as he can, because this way, he can just do his thing.
He's been throughout a ton of parks throughout the country, and friends of ours have been there to connect with him. We've given him contacts up and down the east coast.
The park has gained national recognition by way of skating videos, magazines and Web sites, with some writers describing it in almost reverent terms. The banners of skate companies hang on the walls with almost the same luster as stained glass.
Attracting skaters from as far away as Lakeland and Orlando on weekends, Skatepark attempts to make the trip worthwhile, often hosting concerts or release parties for new skateboarding DVDs. Skatepark's members mostly range in age between 9 and 17, though Clements said the majority is made up of to year-olds, sometimes accompanied by their parents.
