Skatepark of Tampa is dedicated to skateboarding. Founded in 1993 during skateboarding's dark years, SpoT soon became a shining light on the east coast. Over the years Skatepark has become world-renowned for it's "for skateboarders, by skateboarders" events, specifically Tampa Am and Tampa Pro. Skatepark of Tampa was started to simply provide a consistent, fun place to skate with friends and will continue provide a 'real' facility for skateboarders to visit from around the globe. '93 'til infinity...

Pro Contest. Also includes Tampa Am VERT Contest. LIVE WEBCAST!Tampa Pro has been known as the last "real" pro skateboarding event in the United States for several years as it falls annually in March since 1994. The Florida weather makes it the perfect time of the year for pros to visit Tampa. Tampa Pro has been a staple event for so many years that nearly every single professional skateboarder has competed at Tampa Pro at some point in their careers. For the past several years the purse has been $50k, but starting in '07 it has been $100k. It's a great event where the fans are right there with the pros...no security, no hype. Just real pros skating in a real atmosphere.

To add a little more spice to the event, four years ago the Team Manager/Industry VIP Street Contest was introduced into the weekend schedule. This event allows the industry to participate in the skating as opposed to sidelining all weekend.
