Amatuer and Pro tourneys at the iconic Skatepark of Tampa (SPoT) are always a rite of passage for any young, partygoing Tampeño (skateboarder or not), and this weekend the 28th iteration of Tampa Pro—set for Thursday-Sunday, April 29-May 1—happens in East Tampa. Registration and open practice kicks off today at noon, and things get going tonight with skate trivia at The Bricks in Ybor City, plus a comedy set from Thrasher magazine favorite Taylor Clark. Skating, including an open tourney for team managers and retired pros goes down Friday, April 29 (yes there is free beer), but the big to do on Tampa Pro weekend happens at The Bricks—located at 1327 E 7th Ave.—where skateboarding legend Steve Caballero brings his pop-punk band Urethane for a set.
