Dennis Busenitz wins the Tampa Pro 2011

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:03:47 +0000

We were extremely proud to be the official sponsor for the Tampa Pro 2011 which took place last weekend! The skating was insane and the afterparty even better (photos of that coming soon), but, in the meantime check out the recap and video below from our good friends at ESPN.

Dennis Busenitz has won Tampa Pro 2011. Busenitz flew to Tampa from his home in San Francisco the night before the finals and came through with a perfect run in his last of three. Busenitz, who won Tampa once before back in 2005, saw the wins (or perhaps the winning celebrations) as being similar.

"Very similar. Champagne and ... weirdness," he said after the scores were announced. "It's good though. I just landed all the stuff I wanted to do."

The final was a fierce contest between Busenitz, Torey Pudwill, Chaz Ortiz, Nyjah Huston, Shane O'Neill, Paul Rodriguez and Luan Oliveira. Though it consisted of the top 10 from semifinals as well as Pudwill and Zered Bassett (the golden ticket winners from qualifying day), the real contest seemed to be between the aforementioned group. Each of those skaters had runs and tricks that could win a heavy contest on any given day. Sunday belonged to Busenitz though, no question about it.

Witnessing Busenitz during his last attempt in the finals (the 12 riders who make the finals are given three runs each) was surreal. He skated faster than anyone else the entire weekend with the possible exception of Mike Peterson. With each run, Busenitz changed up a few of his tricks and went full-speed, full-gusto at every obstacle. Falling more than once during his first two attempts, it was amazing to see him hang on in his last run and continue to do tricks even after his time was up. The entire crowd here in Tampa erupted in amazement and the results in his favor seemed like a foregone conclusion to all in attendance.

Altogether, this was yet another fantastic contest put on by SPoTlight Productions and the folks at the Skatepark of Tampa. Seems like they get better every year and the level of competition gets more and more intense. Outside of the competitive atmosphere on the course, the camaraderie of a skateboarding event put on by skaters for skaters makes Tampa Pro something unique and special for all of us in attendance. See you next year.

For the complete and non-rundown version of the story head to ESPN...

Our Pro Skate team shreds with the Sucihi Crew. Check it out to WIN a goodie bag...

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:26:17 +0000

The Sucihi boys as they are known were the lucky winners of a contest organized by Arnette Europe, where teams activated up to four participants, grabbed a videographer and set out to make the best skate section imaginable-which was then voted on by the public. Needless to say, the Sucihi boys were pretty solid and held their own when they met up with our seasoned skate vets and Arnette Family members Willy Santos, Pat Duffy, Danny Supa and newcoming young buck Ryan Decenzo. What follows below is all the action that took place and some pretty insane skating to say the least.

There are five sequences of Ryan Decenzo and the first four people to head over to our Facebook page and correctly name the tricks will be the lucky winners of an Arnette goodie bag. Enjoy the images from the day!

This one is a Wall Ride, obviously. But can you head over to our Facebook and tell us the five below?

Supa.

Duffy.

IN Your Face, some of Barcelona's best.

Decenzo, its not all fun and games.

Willy was ripping to say the least...

IN YOUR FACE crew Sucihi visits SoCal

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 01:49:54 +0000

It's not everyday that people get a chance to meet their idols, much less go skate with them for a few hours. Well, this indeed was the very case yesterday for the winning IN YOUR FACE skate crew from Barcelona, Spain. The Sucihi boys as they are known were the lucky winners of a contest organized by Arnette Europe, where teams activated up to five participants, grabbed a videographer and set out to make the best skate section imaginable-which was then voted on by the public. Needless to say, the Sucihi boys were pretty solid and held their own when they met up with seasoned skate vets and Arnette Family members Willy Santos, Pat Duffy, Danny Supa and newcoming young buck Ryan Decenzo. If they were nervous, they did a damn fine job hiding it.

The Barcelona boys' eyes lit up with excitement when told they would be going to a private/secret skate spot, and have it all to themselves while skating with our top dawgs. I could go on and on about the level of skating that went down but we're saving that for our major post next week complete with sequences, video and all, but for now, please enjoy these few snippets of shredfulness.

Pre shred meal at Wahoos...bet they don't got that in Barcelona?

Supa's still the man.

Pat Duffy.

Ryan Decenzo is an absolute machine. The kid never stops or gets tired.

No doubt after a long action packed day the Sucihi boys slept tight.
