This past weekend was the first stop of the Florida Vert Series in Merritt Island, FL. The event was full of ripping skating from heavy hitters such as Collin Gram, Ben Johnson, Keith  Baldassare, and Steven Pineiro. Skaters from young guns to veterans flew in from all over the U.S to go head to head at Paradise Skatepark in Merritt Island, FL for the first official stop of the Florida Vert Series.

The Embassy Skateboards crew was holding it down for Texas and Oklahoma, Jack Winburn from the north east ripped all day, and even some rippers from the west coast made it out; Kevin Reynolds, Josh Rodriguez, Darren Navarrette and Jimmy Wilkins even made appearances throughout the day. Demonseed Skateboards and Domain Premium Apparel held it down for Florida with their riders taking top 3 in almost every division. After the event, when the grommets and parents cleared out, the after party kicked off! Complete with a killer after session and live music by Florida’s own The O’Holleran’s and Concrete Criminals.

This is the first official year for this contest and it’s already shaping out to be a KILLER contest series. Completely grassroots and organized and managed by Bob Umbel, Adam Effertz & Wade Ulrich,  it’s an example of skateboarders taking initiative within their community and giving back to strengthen the skate community as a whole. It’s rad to see the once thriving underground skate community in Florida making some noise again! Let’s keep the fire burning! Next stop of the Florida Vert Series is May 28th at Ramp48 click the link here to sign up!

  Florida Vert Series Recap – Stop 1: Merritt Island, FL This past weekend was the first stop of the Florida Vert Series in Merritt Island, FL. The event was full of ripping skating from heavy hitters such as Collin Gram, Ben Johnson, Keith  Baldassare, and Steven Pineiro.

Steven Pineiro has been through alot in his life for only being 19. The kid’s talent is unreal. Some month backs back he was telling me he was going to enlist in the armed forces. I said, Dude, don’t waste your talent. You’ve got “IT”. Shortly after our convo Steven was back on the contest circuit fucking shit up.Now, more matured and focus, Steven has been taking top 3 in virtually every contest he’s entered since. He’s placed in the Cocoa Beach Open, SPoT’s Converse Concrete Jam, and now the Florida Vert Series so far this year. Steven now has his eye on Combi, the ultimate test. We’re beyond hyped on this dude and have faith in what he’s aiming to accomplish. A true underdog story you can’t help but get behind. Steven’s a pleasure to watch on a skateboard, check out this run of Steven completely killing it at The Florida Vert Series that went down in Merritt Island, FL this past weekend.

“Without skateboarders it would be a tent city for sure. It would be a wasteland dude. The neighbours love us. They’re stoked. This little Asian couple always comes down to watch us build. They are just stoked to see the ambition.” - words and backtail by Jamie Maley.
