Looks like the weekend will be too cold for a campout, so instead we're having a night filled with activities! Come out this Saturday the 28th and skate with the 5boro Team and enjoy a cookout and movies on the big screen after dark. We're even breaking out the timers and having races down the snake run. The fun will get started around 5pm, so dress warm and we'll see you there!
That is not a deal for serious people with this is just for fun

The Halloween Am Jam was quite a success! We had seventy-six skaters enter the competition, and a full day of exciting back to back runs. Graffiti Skate Team came out and entered almost twenty team skaters in the competition; there was also heavy representation from East� Center Skate Company, Crown Skateboards, and Arturo Clothing Co. Participants came from all over Florida, and even a few came down from Georgia. Needless to say the day went great, and everyone had fun!
