Our favorite shop in St. Petersburg, Florida, The Finest, is having a gang of events during the Tampa Pro weekend (March 11-13). Check out the fliers for the Osiris team signing (March 11), Blind team signing (March 10), Katch1 art show (March 13) and more below.
This weekend if you’re at Tampa Pro and you plan on relaxing before or after the contest, make sure to pick up one of these DVS Grindtainers that will be floating around the weekend, free of charge. Torey and Zered will be certain to have some of these in their skate equipment bag.
If you’re a Team Manager and your top pro, whom has a 9 year six figure deal tweaks his ankle, be sure to break out your DVS Grindtainer and try to calm your nerves.
Here is a list of medicinal strains that work great for the DVS Grindtainer:
“Huckleberry Trainwreck” to dial in for practice.
“Blueberry coma” for the anti-social who likes to lurk behind the quarterpipe.
“Early retirement” is grown exclusively in Hawaii and if toked too much, it will make your hair turn grey..
Larry talks about winning Tampa Pro, getting kicked off Girl, his new shop with Theotis, and more on this week’s Free Lunch. LP also breaks the world record for the highest ollie ever at 50″. Guest appearances by Tony Hawk, and Chris Cole. Stay tuned as Larry’s Nike SB Dunk will be released this weekend at Tampa Pro.

It had been ten years since Jordan Hoffart unsuccessfully tried to varial heel the Carlsbad gap, and after he stopped by TWS last week and told us he wanted to go back and get it—and that he had it in three tries—we of course said, “Lets do this!” So on Saturday, right before San Diego got bombarded with another weekend of rain, we met up at Carlsbad, pulled out the camera, put $100 on the line, and he went for it. Did he make it? How many tries did it take him? Here’s how it went down…
P.S. Prepare yourself for our Carlsbad gap am contest on April 3rd. More info on that coming very soon…
