The Midtown Skatepark 1 Year Anniversary Event was definitely one for the record books. In case you missed it, here’s a sample of the day’s festivities…
The day started off looking gloomy but mother nature smiled on us and held off the rain all afternoon. The grill was fired up and the park was buzzing. At 4pm the Best Trick contest got underway with the 15 & Under division followed by the 16 & Ups.

The level of skating that was going down in both divisions was jaw-dropping. I don’t know if it’s something in the FL water or if it’s just the current state of skateboarding, but either way the contest was off the richter scale.

When the dust finally settled from the Best Trick, we moved on the “Best of 2011″ awards. Some of the winners for obvious and others were a total surprise but all the winners had huge smiles and at the end of this great day everyone went home with a smile on their face.
It’s hard to believe it’s only been one year since the park opened. In the past year, we have seen many old friends and fresh new faces come through the doors. It’s been a great year and we are looking forward to many more in the future. Huge thanks to everyone that came out to the park this year, and everyone that joined us for the event. Big things are in the works for the next year so we hope to see you all again real soon!
