    I'll be going to the Tropicana field tomorrow night.
    if weather permits, they have the local session there. ...
    it's at 8:30pm.

    I'm not organizing though. it's the guys from "Kona Town skateboard store" in St Pete...
    aka: eatthedog.com
    I've never been to the thursday night session before (actually once, but that got canceled when I got there), so I still have to see what'll happen.

    if not, maybe we can meet in tampa or so next week.

    (I'm from clearwater)

    I hear Clermont has some hills... but I live in the county with the highest elevation in FL and the hills here are... like bug bites. I couldn't imagine calling anything smaller hills.

    I wish Y'all would come out to clermont or brooksville.,It is not soo much as how high,but how steep or how many turns.We have plenty of good runs.I'm sure if some of you would come skate what we do have,you would be surprised.I'm sure we can find some'n that will keep you Stoked.
