The Tag Team game of S.K.A.T.E. went off bigger than ever this year with the help of Gatorade and Catalyst. Teams from Tampa, Miami, Ft. Laud, Jupiter, and of course Orlando came out to try and come up on some flatground cash. Some of the best looking teams included Kenan Brittlebank and Brian Ross, Joey Ragali and Chase Cerbone, Cody Lucas and Manny Benitez, Bert Wootton and Ryan O’Connor, PJ Castellano and Robbie Kirkland, among a slew of other flatground technicians. As always there were some serious upsets, and serious teams that got knocked out by unsuspecting small-name guys. That’s how it goes, and that is what makes the Tag Team so much fun. Catalyst Riders Jack Moran and Jonny Scianneaux came in 2nd once again, losing to USS ex-veterans/Orlando OG’s Mike Rosa and AJ Burnett.

We want to thank Midtown for coordinating the event and keeping the kids in line, Double D (for his amazing talent of announcing/ calling it clean…), our sponsors GATORADE/ VANS/ VOLCOM/ ORGANIKA and especially all the real skaters that showed up in support of this event!!

UPDATE!
Here is a video of the contest with a good look at some of the dudes who ripped the game of s.k.a.t.e. but couldn’t pull it off, as well as the finals from AJ/Rosa against Jonny/Jack. Big thanks to TJ Gaskill and Jay Meyer for filming.
