Vans Warped Tour 2012 – St. Pete | Mini-Ramp Contest

Maybe I’m just getting old, but all of the bands at the 2012 Vans Warped Tour in St. Pete yesterday sounded the same. Someone at one point told me that it was the same band that had played a four hour set, and I believed him. Anyway, at least the skating was ripping. Here is a little sample of the shredding that went down on this hot, July afternoon in St. Pete, Florida. – Nicks

Final Results:

1. Jereme Knibbs – $250

2. Keith Baldassare -$150

3. Poptart – $100

4. Ben Johnson – Vans Shoes Certificate

5. Nick Wallace – Vans Shoes Certificate

Schoolyard Skatepark | Vans Warped Tour Mini-Ramp Qualifiers

I had to re-upload this little edit of the Vans Warped Tour Qualifier on the mini-ramp at Schoolyard Skatepark from a couple weekends ago because of some copyright issues. Anyway, here it is. Thanks to Demon Seed Skateboards, Westside Skateshop, and Schoolyard Skatepark for putting this on. See you guys at the Vans Warped Tour in Vinoy Park next weekend. – Nicks
