Hey y'all! We held a poll in our whatsapp and are mixing things up this week!

We will be doing a BACKWARDS Tuesday St. Pete. SKATE! 🙃 We will be starting at a the St. Pete. Skate park and then doing our route in reverse! ⏪ So bring your helmets 🪖 and crash pads, if you got em, and get ready to get out of your comfort zone a bit! (Or just hang out till we move on, lol)

The skate park has areas that are good for beginner to expert level. It's also a great place to hang out and see some amazing skaters doing crazy tricks, so get your cameras out! 📸

🛣️Here's the route I was thinking (subject to change!):

  1. Skate Park for 45m, then back to our cars to put away helmets and things
  2. Take the overpass to the Trop and do the Fergs tunnel in reverse OR alternatively, we head to 16th st., passing the basketball courts/playground area and loop over to the pinellas trail
  3. Take central down a ways, go up two blocks near Mirror lake, then skate 2nd Ave. directly to the pier, taking a water break at the end
  4. Skating from the pier, head north to the tennis courts for another water break
  5. Shoot south, do a catch-up stop at the pier, then head to USF
  6. Take the back way back to the skate park
