We made to South Beach Miami early Thursday morning and checked into the Hotel on the strip. With all day Thursday and Friday to skate. It was 98 degrees and steamy. Rain showers off and on killed the street missions and being on the beach didn’t really motivate the crew except to relax after a long 2 and 1/2 week trip. We heard about Alan “Ollie” Gelfand’s indoor private bowl and a vert ramp 2 hours north of Miami, these 2 spots were enough to keep us busy.

Hitz found a store to get some supplies

After a long 2 and 1/2 weeks filming, skating, navigating and obtaining a pro wheel on OJ’s who wouldn’t be tired? He woke up shortly after and closed down the bar with the rest of the crew. Look out for the Thrasher article coming out in a month or so and video of the whole Saints and Sinners tour. Thanks to everyone from New Jersey to Miami for hooking us up!

We got up early on Wednesday and headed over to Johnny Temple’s concrete bowl for a session, then hit up Stone Edge Skatepark in Daytona Beach before going to our demo in Orlando. With a quick pit stop at the Matland banks. Next thing we know we are in Miami at 3:30 am. Two solid days here to skate and party in Miami, stay tuned for the happenings.

Since we got rained out Monday at Kona, we took it back there Tuesday for an all day session. With off and on showers we were able to skate the park all day.
