Florida Bowl Riders Cup Cocoa Beach

Martin Ramos and his staff from Kona putting on a great event at the Cocoa Beach Skatepark. Thank you goes out to Dan Hatcher and all the parents from the Cocoa Beach Skatepark for helping out and making the first professional Skateboard contest at CBS a success....Please checkout http://www.flbowlriderscup.com/ for all the results...The level of skateboarding on the AM side was incredible, I only have one thing to say to the kids who are not wearing pads in the concrete bowls and flow is, they will never progress to their potential... Yes, I know the Pros are not wearing them, but they did at one time, I know I have watched them come up and witnessed their progression....Transition skateboarding takes years to master, you have to be patient and let your body grow and get stronger to match your skills... The Pros Benji Galloway and Tim Johnson separated themselves from the rest of the field, but it was Benji in his own world tearing up every inch of the place and taking first place....

I interviewed some the Pros and Industry leaders and asked them this question. What skater or skaters influenced you the most with your skateboarding ?


Tim Johnson: Danny Way / Colin McKay,


















Benji Galloway : Sean Miller, Chris Miller, Howard Brian




The Greek and Heidi were there...
