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

GSD 2012 Jacksonville | Autoline Street Best Trick
Here is just a little taste of how big Jacksonville, Florida did Go Skateboarding Day 2012. As you can see, thousands of people descended upon Hemming Plaza in downtown Jacksonville for shredding, music, an art show, a chopper show, an antique car show, and good times! Hemming Plaza is one of those places; seems like every city has one; where there are a bunch of good spots, but is a huge bust…tickets, boards being confiscated, etc. Well, this year, for Go Skateboarding Day, the city of Jacksonville, with the help of all of the sponsors, decided to allow Hemming Plaza to be skated, while also benefiting the Kona School. This is an edit of the Autoline Preowned Street Best Trick Contest. Full coverage of the entire event is coming soon!

Jeff Grosso’s Loveletters to Skateboarding – Episode 2 “The Monty Grind”

In Episode #2 of OFFTHEWALL.TV‘s new series, Jeff Grosso’s Loveletters to Skateboarding, Jeff Grosso explains why the “Backside Smith Grind” or “Back Smith” should really be called the “Monty Grind”. Legendary Florida skateboarder Monty Nolder invinted the “Monty Grind” in the early 80′s…easy as that. So, from now on the “Backside Smith Grind” is the “Monty Grind”!
