My opinion is as good as it gets. I will say this to the day I die. When people say “life’s a beach” I say “nope its a skateboard and everything about the lifestyle”

What can I say this shirt says it all or at least what i believe. True we get hurricanes and it seems to always rain when you dont want it to but how can you beat Florida? Great skaters have come out of here . Rodney Mullen ,Alan Gelfand, Mcgill, Lance conklin,Mike Frazier,  just naming a few skaters but many more have.Kona and Skate Park Of Tampa is here that right there is a no brainer . Everyone loves to come and film at our spots and then party in South Beach. Plus the women in Florida isnt really any place that is as good that I have skated that even can touch them. So if you get a chance to visit make sure you come to Florida and enjoy the skating and scenery

While walking around in Miami I came upon this kinda creepy shirt. It has a babys body and your grown ass man head as the head when you wear it. I dont know about you I find it just a tad bit creepy .  I also thought this was kinda funny as well. straight up in the window of a shop you gotta love south beach. I swear the most random things you see that make you laugh. I will never get bored skating Miami that is for sure.

Ok i saw this pic and it made me laugh.

The Fourstar team made it to MIA skateshop this past sunday. What an amzing team every one showed up except for the Gonz and I didnt see Tyler B. either but we got a real treat in the fact legends Mike C., B.A., Rick H., TNT , and Koston as well as Shane Oniel , Ishod, and Malto. There were so many kids there waiting . Ed came through with this one. Not only that Felex A and Luis T. popped in after bum rush the spot. I think the best part about seeing pro skaters of this magnitude is the fact they were super chill and were very into talking to the fans so Fourstar gets my backing no matter what .Big ups to MIA skateshop for hosting a most epic signing.   –Blair Hess—

Well Tampa pro is over but while your up fo the contest bro bowl is a must to hit up when your in Tampa. Whats funny about this time we went there was its nice and safe . I mean if you have any idea of how it use to be such as in the middle of the projects, no assurance of your car not getting rocked by hood rats,brooken glass everywhere,used condoms,needles, items being stolen , 20 little kids asking to ride your board and getting in the way, drug dealers all over, just plain ghetto. it makes you kinda wounder who had the great idea of putting it there at the time? So here we are today they knocked down the projects to make it safer in the area and we are skating there without a worry. My friend goes why you keep looking around. I just say im so use to doing it out of habit and we both just crack up at how funny it was I was still being super attentive of everything around. As we drove away we see kids with there parents roll up and get out of their cars like it was a soccer practice all smiling and excited to skate. My friend and I just laughed at how they got it so easy and if they only knew what it was like back 5 years or so ago they wouldnt even drove in the neighborhood.

  I  know I know im a little late but better late then never lol . Well lets start by saying what a weekend I had. Not only did i start off on thursday with a flat tire i have been fighting this cold since Tampa but me Im not gonna let it beat me and miss  a great pro contest which I am glad i didn’t. Day is Friday i get up to Spot ,enter the park during practice its like a kids dream seeing all the pros practicing. I mean there was Koston,Malto,Basset,Ishod which I gotta say Ishod is my new favorite just endless destruction of the coures and who knew he was that awesome on ramps I thought he was pure street wow was I wrong he is pro for a reason. Wait who is that hooded figure skating around W.T.F. no way is that whatttttttt. SHEFFEY !!!!!!! Sean was there which was a pretty big talk about him people were amazed and super stoked. There were so many pros it was unbelievable. The rumor I kept hearing passing lips was the dreaded word budget cuts that could explain the amount of pros I mean by contest day I saw almost every pro in the book who was hot. Creager, even James Craig that was like a bonus. Mike V was just going nuts on that new axe Elepant skateboard during practice Mike V is skateboarding. What was so amazing is seeing John Lucero, John Montessi and Danny Seargent as well wow talk about wide range of skate legends . During the contest I mean betweenChris Troy,Matt Bennet, Sheckler,Nyjah,Malto,Ortiz , Tpuds came and destroyed but lets not forget Mike Peterson and Kyle Berard. All this said and the fact hanging with Shuriken Shannon, talking with Ishod,   Id say this was a pretty epic Tanpa Pro . – B.Hess

This is a picture I took it may not look like much but it has a hidden meaning and its going on this weekend here. If you can figure out what it is then you will have some knowledge into this little riddle I have placed in front of you. It was created in 1992 molded and infused with its surronding shell  In 1993 this entity started to come alive. Many organisms went and used it, beating it and ripping the insides like no other. certain times of the year it would be infected by loads of random organisms zipping through it . Each year it seemed to gain weight and it established itself as one of the top beings and they would come from miles and miles to infest its area. If you still havent figured it out yet lets just put it this way It is the one biggest places in the world where it was started out of love for skateboarding. Still clueless how about this it was started in Tampa in the middle of nowhere. The Skatepark of Tampa or S.P.O.T as its called is known as one of the greatest skateparks to ever be built in Florida . It was started by Ryan C. and Brian S. for the love of skateboarding. Many pro skateboard careers were made at this park. They have grown it in a way that kept to the grassroots of skateboarding. This weekend will be no exception . Each year it gets bigger and better . The sponsers are insane , course gets revamped, and the talent gets crazier each year, Let alone Pushead did the trophy design what more can you ask for? We will be lurking there snapping pictures and being ensued in the caos of the momant. See you there.  - B. Hess

 This is why I love taking photos in Miami you just dont know who and what kinda crazy outfit you are gonna come upon. Whats so funny about this is the fact that it looks like he has a dixie cup covering his chump change down there. The guy was just walking along so I had to get a picture of him next to my friend Chris. Once we took a picture everyone around wanted to take one I think we made him famous hmmm maybe I should get a contract and get 10% finders fee since now he will be a super star.
