The Mesh Skatepark is a BMX and Skateboarding compound. Ridaz United. Mesh Skatepark Protential Rippers were everywhere. Local BMX Protentials were off the wall as well. Ridaz Gotta Visit Mesh Skatepark.
Pro Rider Tom Haugen was at all three stops and totally destoyed the course at every spot, with tricks like thisice pick to fakie off the vert wall at Mesh Skatepark.
Local Ridettes were getting brave and jumping into a swimming pool full of grime and slime for 20 bucks. I watched at least 3 people urinate in it before the pool party. Ridettes Gotta Ride Too.
Pro Rider announcer Zach “Catfish” Yankush was hypin up the crowds with some entertaining freestylin action. Pro Rider Comedy. Ridaz Gotta Have A Rap.
Pro Rider Jimmy Walker had a session at his new vert ramp that he moved from Chicago, IL. to Ocala, FL. onto a farm where he trains horses and BMX. Ridaz Gotta Train.

Pro Rider Tom Haugen trains hard on his BMX bike and he is so good on the street and the vert. Tom was whippin his bike around like a Devo music video. He has Incredible BMX skills and makes it look so easy. Check out Tom ride at the Vans Park, Merritt Island and any BMX event. Ridaz Gotta Ride.
The BMX Protentials at the Paradise Skatepark were tearin it up for all the Ridettes. DJ I-Roc blew the sound system the day before in Gainesville, so we had to use the park sound system out of one speaker. We pulled it off though. Ridaz Gotta Bang That Gentry Ride Shop Album.
